25+, you need to cut at your BF you can have large deficits the first few weeks
[QUOTE=wattsbug;1566448521]Hi all from Scotland. First ever post and I’m looking for favours already lol. Returned to lifting a couple of months ago after years away. Stats:
Age 48
Height 5ft 10
Weight 1 October 174
Weight today 163.5
Bf I’m guessing 20 however appreciate your views. Looking to get to 12% before bulking. Am I doing this correctly? TIA latest pics in my profile hopefully lol[/QUOTE]
Anyone?

thank you!
[QUOTE=wattsbug;1566525201]Anyone?[/QUOTE]
Hey! I would agree and say you are at the 20 Bf area. I would say get to 12-14 % body fat while lifting heavy by eating around 150 grams of protein but stay at a 500-600 calorie deficit. Once you reach 12-14% body fat, lean bulk at 200 calories above maintenance until you get to 16-17% BF then cut down again. Best way to do it. Best of luck!
Hey thanks for replying. I’m pleased with how it’s going. I’ve been around 500 deficit for 7 weeks now. Doing my best . Sticking to a full body compound workout just now. Thanks again 🙌

I was hoping to get down to 12%, but I think I'm around 14% - do you agree?[/QUOTE]
Bump
i'd say 12%, you can start lean bulking if you want
Thanks - I'm eating at my maintenance this week, then I'll start on a 300 calorie surplus next week.
I think my fat distribution means I'd have to get to a very low % to get properly visible abs.
Hey guys,
Started cutting mid-August @ 80.3kg (around 16% I think) and now 5kg lighter @75.2kg-ish.
An estimated BF would be great, as well as any advice you have on how much more to cut or whether to switch to lean bulk.
Thanks in advance!

Incorporate a refeed once every 10 days where you eat at maintenance calories with high carbs and low fat. This will stimulate leptin production and will prevent you from stalling your fat loss
Hey guys,
Been cutting for about 6-7 weeks. Im 24y/o, 5'3 and started at 128lbs. Down to 119. Was planning on continuing to cut for another month and then start clean bulking...
Let me know what y'all think. Thanks!
5'6/159lbs trying to cut to 145lbs. Does it look like ill be at 12% when I get to 145lbs or will I have to get lower? Also bf% estimate? Thanks

About 13%, you are fine to lean bulk now if you like. As for cutting you might get away with cutting about 2% more fat but you will start looking quite skinny.

About 19%. I would reevaluate in a months time keep cutting and see what you think afterwards.

Near 17-18%. That should a good estimate but it is difficult to guess a weight (as you will lose not only fat but water, glycogen and a bit of lbm) just keep going and reevaluate when you hit your target.

Around 16-17% would be a close guess. Your profile says you are 18 so yes you should lean bulking (as you need more lbm) or maybe recomp depending on your weight training experience.

Around 15/16% however picture is pretty poor. As for 10% I wouldn't go that low you need to add lean body mass before trying to go that low or you will look too small and skinny .

If yes, for how long?
I heard gaining muscle can lower my body fat percentage... Not sure if thats true..

Thanks. Can it really be that low with the little lower belly fat I have? If I went to 8% do you think it'll be gone by then?

From what I have found is you generally need to be in single digit fat to lose the last bit of fat around your lower abs (especially in men), or you need to have a higher level of lbm to compensate by having bigger abs. Being at 8% good possibility but that is level which generally isn't maintainable if you plan to gain a good amount of muscle after your cut.
Building your abs including lower abs would help them become more noticeable at higher levels bf% (10-11%)

Your profile says you are 19 so yes you should do a lean bulk. Work out your maintenance calories then add 250-400 calories and aim to gain 1-2lbs a month whilst doing a proven weight training program (see workout stickies for advice). How long is difficult to say but 6 months is usually a minimum and if you gain weight slowly you should gain mainly muscle. As for the bf% lowering on a lean bulk it is difficult to do as any bulk will add some fat, however you certainly can look more built and better whilst maintaining your bf% near enough the same throughout your lean bulk.

You are in the bracket of about 27% bf. Although you do seem to have a decent amount of lbm.
That was around my guess as well. Thank you

You're probably pretty much there. Why do you want to be such low BF% anyway? You should definitely focus on adding muscle.

I have you around 11-12% you are very close although I would say you need to build some more muscle if aesthetics is your goal.
