Bodyfat Estimation Thread

[JaymzZz]

Upper 13% to mid 14%, I would keep bulking but we all have different goals.

Hey Steal, could I get an estimate too? I was just 3 posts before groovy (profile pic outdated).

i eat 2400+ cals every day, take whey/multi/fish oil, lift for hour and a half, 15 min HIIT running then 10 min low intensity cardio.

What bf% am I at? I'm trying to get down to 8-10%... how long do you think that might take me? Here is a pic, not flexing.

Hey guys,

I'm 5'11", 175 lbs. Just looking for a rough bodyfat %. Any estimates?

Thanks

[schmutzige]

Not very confident in this estimate since the side view shot is fairly far back and it's somewhat blocked. I'm going to guess anywhere from 19-21%. If you have any other pics please repost or PM and I'll gladly re-evaluate.

[SideSteal]

Any guesses here? Navy calculator estimates at between 17-18%.

Based on photos I would guess 18-20% but probably closer to 18..

[SideSteal]

Reposting this as I did not get a reply last time. Thanks in advance

Hey all,

Some before and after pictures 10 weeks apart. Appreciate before and after bf%.

Height: 5-10

Start Weight: 202
Today's Weight: 185

First picture is relaxed, but second is flexed.

Thanks

^^ GREAT progress man. I'm not going to get terribly accurate on the before pic, but I'd guess 24% or so. After I would put you around 16-17%. Are you lifting during the cut?

[SideSteal]

Flexed



Unflexed




Guesses? I am 5'11", 171lb

14% and looking very solid, nice work.

Any advice on cutting fat or turning it into muscle? I do muay thai, jiu jitsu, and wrestling 5 days a week and I started eating healthy almost 2 weeks ago while eating 170 g's of protein per day along with weight training about 3-5 times a week. Although I have to say maintaining 170 grams of protein is very difficult, but I just started taking optimum whey twice a day so that helps a bunch.

In the neighborhood of 15-16% (probably closer to 15). I honestly wouldn't cut if I were you. You certainly don't have much fat on you but you could stand to put on more lean mass. Just my opinion though.

If it were me I'd eat somewhere between maintenance calories and +500.

Also, with that much activity you're probably going to have to eat like it's your job.

=)

Low 20's roughly. Hard to say how long it will take because if you're new to weights, you have a chance at putting on a little lean mass while cutting.

How much progress are you making so far?

I wouldn't drop down to 8-10% without adding more lean mass somewhere along the way. It won't look as good as you think, in my humble opinion.

Great job on the weight loss!

I get thrown off on my estimates when I see loose skin and when people drop lots of weight. With that, I'd guess around (EDIT--looked again): 17-19%. Great work so far!

Very hard to guess based on closeness, camera angle, and ... *cough* hair.

16-18% Not much fat, not much lean mass.

Mind doing me SideSteal?

Looks like I replied to it just as you typed this-- check my post above.

[limaromeo13]

Yeah, thanks, repped. Trying to figure out if I wanna cut or bulk now. I'd really like to have some nice abs to show off in a couple months but I am kinda light so idk.

[Inspiration01]

Based on photos I would guess 18-20% but probably closer to 18..

Cheers. I seem to look a lot better when there is a light on overhead. I can actually see my ribs when I do that. Crazy what a bit of lighting can do for you! Do you think I'd at least look decent after a cut?

[raans91]

Hey guys, new on the forums! Could I get an estimate of my bf%?

Pics of front, back and legs relaxed and flexed.

19 years old(20 next month), 176 pounds. 6'0-6'1

Thanks heaps!

Hey guys think I was forgotten on page 117!

IMO I would either slowly bulk or eat at maintenance and lift heavy. Lean mass is a bit low for a cut in my opinion.

Yep, you should look fine after a cut. And I think you're closer to 18% having looked again.

[SideSteal]

Side relaxed and flexed too.

Thanks again!

Hey, would you happen to have a front shot, and if so can you post it or PM me and I'll take a guess. I won't be able to take a reasonable guess from side shots (although someone else might).

Anywhere from 14-18% based on the pics you provided but that's a pretty big window.

Hey thanks for your reply!

I've been making some decent gains. I have been managing to add some muscle and drop fat, I have been sitting at 196-194 for about 2 weeks.

Here are updated pictures as the one I posted yesterday was from about 2 weeks ago... Still lower 20's?

[deshiroller507]

what do you guys think.

157lbs this morning.

Based on the new pics I would guess around 18-19% actually.

Shout out to fellow Minnesotan. 14-15% IMO.

[TrueSelf3]

Thank you very much.
