    17% or 14% Who knows?

    Hi guys, i was wondering if you could take a guess at my bf% as i have some dumbass scales that measure body fat and they say 17% but a recent health check using another electric thing said 14%. I was wondering which you guys think is closer to the real number. The scales are useful for consistency as i am trying to shift bf at the moment.

    Also what are your thoughts on whether i should continue cutting or start bulking.

    Hopefully my pic will attach.

    Cheers guys

    The accurate % is over 20.. maybe 22ish

    People's estimations on this website are completely skewed. If you did a dexascan with correct parameters ( at a medical place, not at a gym it would show you the real % )

    A bf of 16-18 % with minimal visceral fat is considered elite athlete category.


    Also bulk IMO. Or get a little leaner and start a clean bulk. Up to you

    A relaxed pic would help more, but you are definitely closer to 17% than 14.

    Thanks for the input guys, i added a relaxed pic for a better idea.

    I was thinking I was closer/above the 17% mark myself as there is no ab definition. Damn slow going around this %
