Hey Guys, What body fat percentage do I look? I'm 5'9 and 148 pounds. One pic is flex one is unflexed. I'm looking to stop cutting soon but I want to be lean so I can go on a long (1 yr+) bulk that's only slight above maintenance to gain about 1-2 pounds a month. Am I lean enough or should I go down a bit further? Thanks
Can you please estimate my Bf%?
I am 5' 7'', and I've been watching my weight the past week and it fluctuates between 155-157. I believe I may be categorized as "Skinny- fat".
I am looking to build muscle and get leaner. Along with resistance training, where do I start? Cutting? Bulking? Or maintenance caloric intake? What would be a reasonable time period for either the cut/bulk/maintain?
Thanks!
2 months into cut, lost 10 lbs. Would like to see where Im at :) Thanks guys!
can i get an estimate 6'0 180lbs. been bulking for 4 months now, i plan to bulk until january. thanks in advance partyrock
I would love some feedback on what opinions there are about my BF%
To new to the forum to upload pics directly, but I have some on my profile. Started a new lifestyle journey 8 months ago, just curious how my progress has been.
Thanks in advance fellas.
I guess I should give some stats...
5'10"
176 pounds
Has anyone as fat as me ever done this? From looking at the thread, I didn't see anyone.
I'm 280 now. Was 250 when I started working out at the start of June. My measurements have gotten smaller, so I know it's mostly muscle. My muscle tone was minimal compared to the average person, as my muscles were zapped from the stroke. Since I have to GAIN muscle just to get to where the average person would start, that likely accounts for such a drastic increase in weight. I'm also 35.

Imo, how long have you been lifting? Personally, if I was in your position I wouldn't be cutting.
Can you estimate my body fat? And should I cut or bulk up? Pics in my profile because i cant post pics for now
wow!!! nice how could you do this

I don't mean to be rude, but gaining weight is not the right thing for you and it was not the right thing to do when you were 250. You should stop it RIGHT NOW! If you think that gaining 30 lbs in 4 months is mostly muscle, I must say you are mistaken. Your body fat % is in 40+ category and only thing you should be doing is losing weight.

This may have been a mistake. Few people here understand what's actually happened to my body. The stroke combined with laying in bed for months atrophied all of my muscles. I'm rebuilding them. I appreciate the body fat estimate, really I do, but I had much less muscle tone when I started than a normal person does. I mean, I STILL can't walk normal, and nothing is wrong with my coordination. Though I continue to improve.
My diet is superb; I meet my protein and fat minimums everyday, but I keep a calorie deficit at the same time. I drink 8 bottles of water a day. I weigh and log everything I eat. I eat vegetables everyday.
Believe it or not, I'm much thinner than I used to be. I continue to lose inches while gaining actual weight, so...it has to be muscle. I'm not psyched about gaining 30 pounds either, but my measurements continue to decrease.
What do you guys think? I got no clue (maybe 20%?)

Started my journey few years ago @ 215lbs. Cut down to 168lbs, weak w/ no muscle. Found out I have hypothyroidism (still dialing correct levo dose, but close). Then constantly went back and forth between cutting and bulking for about a year, some strength gains made. Currently tracking a cut for 8 weeks now @ 2150cals (started cut @ 181lbs), hitting heavy weights 5-6 days/week. ~10-20 min. steady state cardio 2 days/week. I know im still carrying quite a bit of fat, but feeling small haha.
Thanks guys, appreciate the help!

Hello, I am 53, 5'8" and on I began my journey to get in shape in May. On May 1, 2018 weighed 225 lbs. As of October 13, 2018 weighed in at 188 lbs. I would like a few serious estimates on what my BF% currently is and what I should concentrate on at this point. Thanks all.
Hello everyone.
I've been bulking now for the past two months and while my strength has increased significantly, so has without a doubt my bf%.
What I want to know is how bad is it, should I start cutting or can I continue my bulk?
I'm currently at 195 lbs/88 kg and 5'10 feet/ 180 cm
40 cm/16 inch biceps
65 cm/ 25 inch thighs
90 cm/ 35 inch waist (86 cm/33.8 inch around the navel)
40 cm/ 16 inch neck
Thanks for any input in advance.
I found 2 old progress request post from myself.

Below are photos from today. What do you feel my body fat is now and overall physique for the last year? Not gonna lie, Ive just looked at the photos from 1 year to now, they dont feel too impressive in. I envisioned myself as Hercules by now.
Edit- how to prevent photos from going sideways on the forum? On my MacBook and iPhone they are up and down, but some of them have been getting rotated for no rhyme or reason.
Hiya, I know I've got a long way to go still, but would like an idea of where I'm currently at.
I've lost 42lbs so far and have just recently started to introduce a weightlifting program whilst maintaining the cutting calories/macros/cardio.
I'm 5 foot 8.5 inches, 221lbs and my waist measurement is 32.5 inches. My photos are in the gallery on my body space.
I used a body composition scale which suggested my bf% is 41 - but I think that could be too low. I had a rough go at the Durnin womersley calipers method which suggested around 48% but I know that both of those methods can be unreliable. I'm very pear shaped and I feel like that can potentially affect those kind of methods?
Thanks for any ideas
Can I get an estimate please? the one in July was around 13-14%, but think I’ve moved the niddle down a little...

Hey guys, I hope you're having a good day. I'm looking for a body fat percentage estimate just to see where I'm at right now. I'm currently just over 14 years old around 140ish pounds, and am 5'9. I started at 27% body fat around 150 pounds, so I just want to see where I'm currently sitting at. Appreciate it!
looking for estimations, am 142 lbs at about 5'9 height. appreciate it

This was me a few months ago at the end of my first successful cut with a little under 1-year lifting experience. At the time I was on PSMF, so I had minimal water weight. Calipers gave me an estimate of 13%. Would like really appreciate some other estimates on my first time trying to get lean.

I would say between 12-13% you can see the outline of the six pack, solid cut to be honest.

As its post workout yes 10% is solid if relaxed possible 9% due to your weight.

You look leaner to me especially the year ago one either through cutting or gaining muscle. Just monitor your weight and keep going either way based on your goals. As for bf% 12-13 is good base.
[QUOTE=Sadboyhours;1563711971]looking for estimations, am 142 lbs at about 5'9 height. appreciate it[/QUOTE]
About 17-18% but it doesn't matter if you are 14 as you say above you should not be trying to cut weight through lowering calories just work out hard and stay active through any exercise and let time do the rest you won't regret it.

I would say close to 20-22% I would say. Very little sign of core showing but a good solid base I would say cut until you are happy with your look in mirror then lean bulk. Remember bulks are best done slowly 1-2lb MAX a month.

Very good muscle amount. I would say 14 - 15% due to having visible core muscles. It is down to you really if you want to have that ripped look (six pack) then cut about 4% body fat and you will look solid. If you want to gain even more muscle do a slow lean bulk and look again in 6-12 months as long as you keep fat levels low on the bulk.

I would estimate at 16% as you have a outline of a good core muscles. You are definitely in the toned scale I wouldn't lose anymore weight I would suggest adding a bit more muscle/ weight will offer a better overall image. As for stomach fat lose I would not be concerned you have very minimal by gaining muscle especially through compound weight lifting (squats, deadlifts etc) you will increase your core size therefore more defined abs etc.
