Anyone else?

Not sure if srs. You posted pics already

How long do you think it would take me to cut down to 10%? And how different will I look?

Honestly, you're 17...your test levels are so high right now you want to build muscle as much as you can these next few years minimum! I'm not going to say you're at steroid levels but as a teenage full of test you might feel like you are with the gains you make! Don't focus on cutting, bulking should be your priority. In fact, you'll probably burn fat and build muscle.

My bf%? I was thinking of cutting instead of bulking, any disagreement? I want to have a beach body for the summer.

IMO wait till next summer. Somewhere around 14-15%. Muscle is more sexy than skinny ribs, arms and abs. Defo bulk my friend. Just don't overdo it.

Lmao ribs. Thanks though, I want to work on my chest more, it looks smaller in the picture. Any routine in general you would want to advise me to reach my overal goal(in general not just chest)? I already have a routine but I'm looking to improve it. I use self body weight and dumbbells. I try to work out like 6 days week.

I would do a 3 full body split since you're still a noob at that weight. 6 days a week is a waste of time IMO unless you're on steroids and never go intense to failure on each set. Type 3 day full body split in google and you should get stronglifts or starting strength routine. Nutrition is key. If you're working out at home I would do some press ups and variations (diamond, fists, handstands), One arm push ups against the wall (these are so tough) and wide grip dips in between chairs etc.

I dont have much mass but started a cut a few months ago. Decided to get a scale with a bf% reader. It says im at 15% bf. Wondering if anyone can tell me if its accurate. Thx in advance.

If you'd be so kind, i'm...

Thanks for any feedback!

Hi, I have been now bulking for past 7-months and gained around 6kgs/13lbs. I was wondering should I start cutting now, or continue bulking? I'm 173cm/5'8 57kg/125lbs. I would also like to know my bf%, any estimations? My waist is 28.5''. Some online calculator gave an estimation of 10% based on height, weight, waist and neck, but I think 10% is way too low for me.

Anyone? General advice's would be much appreciated also! Wanna be strong and big someday... Would 2500kcal-2600kcal be too much for me? I am going to gym 4 times a week and running/cycling/badminton 2-3 times a week, around 30-60min at a time.

[iMarteenez]

13%

[mykalt45]

16-17%. I'm guessing around 30 inches. I say get down another 5-10lbs then BULK. Your weights are fine. Keep lifting heavy. Try doing more 8-12 rep range if you're doing a 5x5 program now. I personally stopped 5x5 and did RPT.

I think him and I have similar physiques, although I am a little taller at 5'11". I just started 5x5. Is that a good path?

[gregory1256]

my pics are on my body space, i posted 4 times, and recieved an estimate of 17%. im 6ft around 200-203. im wondering should i bulk or cut now. please respond. if you have allot of knowledge help me out please. thanks. pics are on body space.. and waist is 35-36

I've always been curious as to what my body fat level is, because I don't weigh much at all, but still don't have much ab visibility. Thanks in advance!

5'8"



Superacrillaic skinfold 10mm
thigh 9mm
tricep 9mm
abdominal (1in right of navel) 18mm

Thanks guys, using the 3 pt caliper calculations my bf comes out to be 10.6% using 7pt comes out to 10.3% Do I just have ****ty genetics where I store more fat in the abdominal region?

Yeah would agree around 11-12%. Not **** genes. However, looks like you come under that fold of people who have to hit abs hard if you want them. Do weighted crunches, leg raises. Basically 8-20 rep range rather than 20+.

[ivamad]

14-15%

Thanks man. I had myself pegged at about 17%+, based on results from this thread?

[kanmaxime]

bf estimations please
