Somewhere in the vicinity of 15%..

up to you whether you want to keep cutting or bulk.

You're right in between so it's a toughy.

~12.5-14%.

[RunKing]

14/15%

~13-14%..

Thanks! I feel way better now. That's exactly the range I was thinking. Gotta keep cutting better then and get back on that Just Dance 3 haha. I'll say I'm 14% since that's the average.

Thanks a bunch!

16/17%. Very good arms and back, unfortunate lower gut and chest. You have a solid base though.

Hard to tell with that one pic ...but based on your midsection I would peg you a solid 10%. Your chest and arms don't look cut enough for 10% though. I would call it 11% with a solid base.

You are higher than 25% bro. Just get on that cut. Get your calories/macros in order and plan a 6 month cut. You don't look much different than I did when I started my cut. It might take less than 6 months to get where you want to be but at the place you are at you will just have to cut. No two ways about it bro.

nice one pal, any links to a good cut diet like you did ?

nice one pal, any links to a good cut diet like you did ?

I just followed the cal in cal out rules.

Start here:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=121703981

This is a short cut (but make sure to read the sticky first...and ask Q's on what you don't understand)

http://www.fitwatch.com/qkcalc/calor...calculator.php

Then get an account at www.myfitnesspal.com (I dont get kickbacks so any good calorie tracking website or phone app works...I just use MFP)

Then start tracking. I would strongly recommend cutting 2 pounds a week for a couple weeks then going down to 1 pound a week. It is mentally easier on you when you see those initial pounds dropping fast. Then once you got it down, go down to 1 pound a week. Lift. If you need a good starting workout plan, go here:

Finally you will here alot about "IF" or also known as "Intermittent Fasting" and also Lean Gains. Here is some info on it if you want to go that route.

I think I'm around 15%. I have always had trouble getting rid of the pesky fat around my lower abs and the sides of my stomach. I feel like I have been spinning my wheels for the last few weeks with clean diet and exercise but the fat just won't budge. Anyone have any tips? (I have read the stickies)

~14-15% is about right.

Fatloss from here will be slow. Keep it steady and don't give up. It'll go eventually.

What BMI do you think i am?

I feel like my strength surpasses how my body actually looks. I don't bench for shoulder reasons, but i currently DB press 45kg's for 3-4 reps, which i feel pretty good about. I DB shoulder press 32.5's for 3-4, curl 22.5's for 3-4, etc etc, but i don't think i look like that.

I'm in the midst of deciding what to do for a cutting phase... not sure if i should embark on one of these ESE/lean gains routines, or just do lots of HIIT sessions...

When i decide what i'm going to do, i'll be starting up a blog of sorts to stay accountable. I love training for strength, but have never ever really tried to lose fat.. ever.

ps. yeah yeah im getting a haircut tomorrow.

15%. Solid base. Good muscle definition starting to show.

14/15%. Good muscle definition going and it looks like you have put some time in on your pecs/shoulders. I would go 14% but you got more gut fat then I was expecting until I hit the last pic. Great base so far though, good job.

I seem to be on a 15% roll here. I am having a harder time pegging you. You are skinny and not skinny fat. That makes me think more in the 13/14% and that would be close based on your stats too. But...you have like zero muscle definition. I generally go by muscle definition or skinny-fat and you are neither so its a harder call. I am guessing you were never very fat before? You just don't have the look of a former fatty. I will go with 14% as my estimate.

I don't see fat being your problem bro. I see a complete lack of muscle being your issue. Your going to have to build some muscle up to square-off your chest and make it look better. Fat wise you look perfectly healthy. You just won't get that look we all want until you put some time into lifting and working out. I am currently working my chest hard for the same reasons.
