    BF estimate and advice needed!

    Hey Guys wondering if I can get a bf estimate here please? I need to gauge on how much more I should cut and how far I'm away from visible abs.

    My basic plan is to get to a visible 2-4 pack and then clean bulk from there, thoughts on this?

    Basic stats: 5'4", 148lbs, 20 years







    I can supply back/other shots if needed,
    Much appreciated

    I'd say about 14-16%. But it would not hurt to measure it your self, takes a couple of minutes .

    Okay thanks man, I will try and get some calipers and do my own measurements this weekend. I want to get down to at least 11-12% before a clean bulk so I have another 6-7 lbs to go (down 32 lbs from the start)

    Any other thoughts/opinions from anyone?

    your pretty close to 13%, seems like you have a solid chest and a good base to start you bulk.

    There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there. - Patrick Bateman

    You can actually go both ways, I'd cut down a bit more till you can see your abs. It will give you motivation and you can do a nice clean bulk after that.
    Ambition is priceless, it's something that's in your vains..

    15% min, probably higher. Your current BF% is what you'd want to have at the END of a heavy bulk.
    My recommendation would be to absolutely not bulk. Cut down to 10-13% IMO.

    Thanks guys, the two main opinions are

    1. You are 13%, have a good base to bulk
    2. You are 15%, get leaner

    I will continue cutting and ask you all again when I am leaner. Thanks!
