Can someone estimate my body fat percentage?(PICS)

[silentkiller424]

I'm a 17 year old male who weighs 121lbs or 55kg and i'm around 5'8 to 5'9. Can someone looking at the attached pictures estimate my body fat percentage? I got my fat percentage checked recently by a doctor using the caliper method. It said that I am about 26% which i think is highly impossible. Or is it? Can someone help me out with this?

sorry bro but bf% is a measurement of ratio LBM to bodyfat. since you dont have much LBM, your bf% will be high, 26% seems about right, but dont worry, bulk a bit and it will go down rapidly

[mwentworth]

Why does it matter what it is? you look terriable. eat, sleep, lift brah!

[Pzstar]

Did you take the pictures with a potato? From what I could see, I would say around 16-17%? You kinda look skinny-fat but that's just my opinion.

[Unfocus]

I'd say it's in the 20's so its somewhere near accurate. Like jvlshz said, just workout more, gain some muscle, since you weigh so so so so soooo little, you'll gain some muscle easy, especially if you haven't worked out ever. Seriously though, eat more and exercise, 121 lbs?

#1 these are the worst ****ing pictures ever
#2 you've been here a year and you look like that
#3 negged for #2
#4 19-21%

121lb and high bf is pretty unhealthy, you better start working hard OP.

[silentkiller424]

So do you suggest that I should bulk first? before trying to cut down the fat?

You're underweight, you probably don't have any strength, go bulk up, it'll burn SOME fat, you need to get in your weight zone.

[silentkiller424]

Yeah Jake i've been here for a year but i had to stop working out for medical reasons all i want to know is should i go on a bulk first or try cutting down the remaining fat?

The last time i tried bulking... i did gain some muscle but i also ended up gaining fat, and gaining fat on a bulk is pretty normal right?I I'm afraid to start bulking as i am probably already around 20% bf% which is close to obese and i want to avoid being in that zone. So i'm really confused and i need some advise if i should bulk or cut first.

You'll gain fat no matter what in a bulk, if you're that worried, count your macros and calories, limit your fats. You can do a bulk, then cut, bulk than cut.

just bulk lol, eat everything and lift hard... building LBM keeps bodyfat low

[DPedro]

[definedincline]

[silentkiller424]

Yeah i'm prolly gonna bulk now..but as i mentioned in my reply to Unfocus i'm afraid to bulk as i'm around 20% body fat. And as bulking results in some fat gain i fear getting into to the obese zone due to the bulk. So all i needed was advise in that matter.

What does it mean by 'building LBM keeps bodyfat low' and 'sorry bro but bf% is a measurement of ratio LBM to bodyfat. since you dont have much LBM, your bf% will be high, 26% seems about right, but dont worry, bulk a bit and it will go down rapidly'

I dont understand what you mean by lean body mass will lower Bodyfat %

Holy moly.com

Your doctor is most likely correct considering he is a doctor.

Start lifting bruh take advantage of your testosterone at our young age while you can.

The guy that posted this thread is 121lbs and let's assume he is 20% (example i can't see because the pictures are ****) So that means he has 24,2 pounds of fat and 96,8 pounds of lean body mass right?
So if he gains weight let's say he gains 5 pounds of muscle so now that means he has 101,8 pounds of lean body mass and still 24,2 pounds of fat so that means now that he has lower bodyfat then he had
because he gained muscle so it means he lowered his bodyfat because lean body mass is higher.

Sorry because i written kinda ****ed up but i think that's what guys try to say
