What % Bodyfat do i have?

[Rodzilla]

your plan to hit 155 sounds good to me. I would get the most out of those 3x gym sessions with something like rippetoes, may help to hold onto some muscle..if doing your own program make sure you hit the lower rep ranges on occasion for the same reason

for a conditioning program that will really get you fit..

that would kick the **** out of anybody.

[mehdi84]

20%

I think I've got more fat then you do, and my calipers read 23% max.

edit: actually, your stomach is puffed out more then mine. I suggest picking up the digital fatrrack II calipers off the site. It works wonders.

[anujjiepatel]

do you think the three or five would be better? as of now i'm doing ab workouts every other day.

5 day split, more rest periods and more concentration on muscle groups .

also, yeah ab's are *******s .. they dont burn as many calories resting like other muscles .. you're better off trying HIIT and burning more fat .

rememeber, lift first, then cardio .

keep me informed !!

[Rodzilla]

I don't think a 5 day split is necessary, especially if you are doing a lot of manual labor at your construction job. 3-4, don't burn yourself out.

[anujjiepatel]

oh, sorry i didn't read you were a construction worker .. then yeah, 3 day is fine, esp. because you want to try not to over-work your muscles .


also, any helpful advice for me ?
-see sig-

[Mcfreako]

you are pretty chunky...way higher than 16%...probably low 20s

yea the stomach is hard to get rid of. just eat right and do lots of aerobic workout.

[My_Porsche]

No, i'm very happy that i've gotten a few opinions, i just thought i'd be in the range of maybe 18-25%, just suprised at thirty. i'm not trying to argue with anyone im just asking.

You're not 30. I'm 30 and have a little bigger belly than you. I'd say maybe 25%?

[rabe]

Id say probly around 25-27%. Im kind of doubting you can bench 225 thow

[ItlnDE89]

i dont know what to say besides the fact that i can do it and have done it. i can 7-8 reps of 185 also depending on the day.

[Rodzilla]

and do a lot of crunches and eat low fat frozen yogurt right?

[juggerburn]

so basically, you are anywhere from 16 to 30 percent. does that narrow it down a little bit skipper?

[My_Porsche]

i dont know what to say besides the fact that i can do it and have done it. i can 7-8 reps of 185 also depending on the day.

I'd believe it. You look more "jacked" than me in the flex pictures and I can do 225.

[rabe]

Look at his weight. And then look at your weight. Height:
6'4.0" (1.93 m)
Waist:
Weight:
255 lb (115.9 kg)

If i weighed that much i could do 300+.
Only reason im doubting his bench is because of his low weight and slightly higher body fat. Its possible, but you must have incredible form then

Eh, fair enough. EDIT: **** I didn't even see his weight/height, I guess the pictures are deceiving since you can't see his whole body.

[ItlnDE89]

my form isnt very good but ive done it and can do it, besides that i dont have much else to say. i dropped from 197 last september to 169 now(according to the scale went from 24%bf to 16%) so i musta gained muscle even thou the % is probably higher. my friend is 5'10" 190 and can do 265 with a 14% bf. i think i was around 180 when i did it for the first time. next time i bench i will try and put a video up. i benched today and did 2 sets of 185 for 6 reps each and 1 set of 195 for 4 reps.

also, why would i lie about a max bench? it would just be dumb to do.

[152_pilot]

low 20's

[Chris@UGA]

23% or so.

[rxgh0st]

my stomach is similar to the OP's except he's obviously packing more muscle....

I weigh 153 lbs at the moment... eh.



just lift heavy and do HIIT brah.

[ItlnDE89]

Wut's HIIT and where can i find out more about it? so i should definitely continue working out and keep up the cardio also?

[johnrich69]

21-22% ?

X2. Just quessing from a photo I'd say around low 20ish fat % although because you're still young and look like you're fairly athaletic I wouln't imagin that it should take you long to snap it into shape with a fast transformation if you really got serious about it!!! Good luck to ya ..................................

[ItlnDE89]

thanks, yeah im trying to get down to around 155 maybe less depending on how i look by late august

[Seannn]

a good bit higher than 16 i think, however, you've got a great amount of lean body mass and will look ace if you cut correctly.

good luck mate!

[realworksuks]

it's pretty high... I would say at a minimum it's 20% lots of chub there.

[Autino]

at least 25%
no joke..
get a hydrostatic test done. You are kidding yourself if you beleive you are anywehere near 18%...

[S1cTech]

You have a good start so far, i was 215lbs 8 months ago, strict calorie counting(very strict) got me down to 150 in a mere 8 months with absolutly NO cardio and only heavy weight lifting for 1h/day 5 days on, one day off etc.
Just stay under maintenance calories/day and you will see results after 60 days. No cheating!

wait, so if you did this. and Don't take this offensive, how come your weight is really low? You said you did heavy lifting 5 times a week and for an hour a day for 8 months. Even if you got ur bodyfat down to say the impossible 1% from doing this you should be jacked or pretty big and be at least 180-190 and not be really skinny because 150 does not seem to have lot of muscle or really any size at imo or fat...

Maybe he had almost no muscle to begin with, and like everyone says, when you "cut" and under consume, the goal is to preserve muscle and lose fat, not really gain muscle, so that would be my guess is his lean weight stayed the same he just shed the fat from around it.

[ItlnDE89]

this might be a better pic to use, full body shot.
