BF estimate and opinions

[JPSmyth]

I have been lifting for 8 months, gained about 20lbs so far. haven't seen an increase in bf too much, abs are still visible. i'm really satisfied with my gains. started at a little below 160, this is me probably about 175. I'm 5'11. my end goal is to be at 190, around 8%. I planned on trying to bulk through the winter for the next few months and cut for 2 months before the summer starts.

can someone estimate by bodyfat %? also, what are some noticeable weak points in my physique? i know my chest isn't the greatest, i'm working on bringing that up soon.

Prolly 12% bf, your traps seem to be lacking as well.

yeah i've noticed that too. I dont really want to add upright rows to my routine though because ive heard they are terrible for your rotator cuff and mine is already bad

yes I deadlift and shrug 2x a week, but my traps are genetically not great i guess

and can somebody explain to me how deadlifting works your traps. mechanically how does that happen? people always just say deadlifts are great for back development then never elaborate..

Hold two heavy shopping bags for 20mins, traps will burn like hell. Same principle with deadlifts. Muscles of upper back are getting worked isometrically by holding a heavy ass weight.

My guess is bf just over 10%
