3 month cut (pics)... opinions and BF%?

[JayyC]

I decided around 3 months ago to clean up my diet and start hitting the gym for the first time in 2-3 years. Last time I had lifted any was in high school when I played baseball and was in decent shape... never really had a six pack or any real definition though, most likely because even then I didn't take weight training seriously, wish I had though!

3 months later I am still lifting and eating decent and not really putting much thought into short term goals for lifting since I told myself to not expect anything over night, just lift hard and eat right for a long time and see what happens. Well today I took a picture and compared it to the one that I took before I started and was surprised to see more change than I thought. Reason being is because I had only lost 6 pounds between pictures, which is roughly 3 months apart... so I didn't expect much. (170 in march, 164 in june)

My goal was to cut for the entire summer and then some and start a slow clean bulk once the colder seasons set in, but was maybe thinking of going ahead and start it a little sooner, maybe in a month or so? Just looking for some opinions here on what to do. ALSO, I know these questions come up a lot, but can anyone give a rough estimate of my bodyfat % now? Thanks.

I have no idea, but u did good. Good job.

[H34vyM3741]

good work there bro, you're certainly showing definition, keep it up, I'd put ur bf% at 15%

[Tomek]

Good work bro..

Id put you closer to 11-13%, pic isn't the best but your definately lower then 15%

[glen666]

I would say 12-13% but need further pictures to be honest.

[hustlineveryday]

maybe a little under 15%, hard to say for certain without a larger view...but very nice work, i think i see the hint of some serratus there.

[rosilio]

you could get better results in 3 monthes,

but nice work

[SwiftyX]

Under 15% for sure, nice progress.

[Rogerthat]

Huge difference. Well done Jayyc!!

First time posting

Very noticeable change your way more defined now. Your going to have fun on your bulk

[badderman999]

good job, but i agree that you could of got better results in 3 months...did you do any intense weight lifting as your arms look practically the same but the fat around the guts gone!

[JayyC]

Thanks for comments everyone... yes the iphone blows at taking pics, no other camera. Tried to get lighting the same in both pics, other than that it's the best I could do.

And yeah I don't have hardly any noticable change in my arms, I guess the fat around my stomach is the first to go... or maybe not enough mass to show change in my arms.

Wow! Nice Job, you really can see some of the intercostals popping out! You will look incredible when you start bulking.

[rickisthecoolest1]

congrats man thats some good progress

[badguy]

dude that's amazing!

Keep it up

[JayyC]

For those that say another angle or pic is needed to be sure of BF %, here is one I took from the front. The lighting isn't consistent with my older one so can't really ask for a fair comparison between the two. Any chance that my BF% is 12 or under, or do I still have a little ways to go?

[Right0]

11 - 13%

oh and good job man.

[hardcoregeorge]

nice work bro! did u do only wieghts? or weights+cardio?

[JayyC]

For the first two months I was lifting light/medium weight 4 days a week, with wednesday, saturday, and sunday being my off days that I did cardio on. The 3rd month (now) I'm lifting heavier weights 3 times a week(mon,wed,fri) with basketball on tuesdays and thursdays as my cardio and having the weekends off.

ohh i see, congratulations bro, keep up the hard work!
