Went from skinny fat 172 to 140 in 9 months....Lost a lot of fat a little bit muscle but still looked around 12% bf, but surprisingly, I measured at 10% in the hydrostatic testing, I carry most of my fat in my abdomen area....Now time to lean bulk for a long time.

I think it does. Nice and lean. Not a great amount of muscle mass, but making progress! Great job.

Ditto. A few lbs of muscle would make a big difference.
Way too much debate here on what constitutes a ~2% difference in BF. I mean, really, does anybody here weigh and dissect corpses of varying fatness and musculature, and weigh the fat so they know what a certain %BF looks? My own %BF can vary between two different and commonly-accepted methods by over 2%.
It's another thing when somebody who is obviously holding onto lots of bodyfat comes in and says they're only 9%, but this isn't the case.

more pics...when i was about 1 or 2 pounds heavier....
@Shepherd1125
Bruh, u look a lot leaner than me in those pics, but the lighting is much better, our bodyfat mass is probably similar...it's jus that u have a lot more muscle mass. at low body weight, i would figure even a bit of muscle makes a huge difference in appearance
@ejthomp....thanks...yea, im ready to continue the progress, tired of this cutting and dieting!

I was under the impression that's because they are near their genetic potential. But I just got started lifting seriously this year. So even as a beginner, it's impossible? So if I gained 30 pounds in an year, most of it would be fat? I read the Lyle McDonald muscle potential article, he seems to know his stuff.

Depending on where you are in your journey. It a noob bulked for 30 weeks, with a 500 calorie surplus, he's going to add more lean body mass than someone who has been lifting for 3-4 years. As you progress, it becomes harder to put on mass and it'll slow down.
Bulk for x number of weeks, whilst eating well and following a good tested routine and you COULD potentially but on half a pound a week. It could be more, could be less than you think you'll put in. It's never linear, though eating more than 500 will just add excess fat.Currently cutting.

You've worked so hard to get lean.... I wouldn't be in a hurry to gain any extra fat. Why not take a bit more cautious approach? How about 2 lbs per month? At the end of six months you are only up 12-15 pounds max. You look in the mirror and give yourself an honest evaluation. If it looks good, commit to another six months. If it isn't what you want, maybe you spend a couple months cutting 5 or so pounds of fat to get you back where you want to be. Then go for another six months and 12-15 pounds from there.
You're in a great position to grow and you're doing it right. Hat's off to you!A diet isn't punishment. A diet is a way to reward your body with the wholesome, nutritious food that it needs. Your body composition is a direct reflection of what you put in your mouth.
