What is My Body Fat Percentage? - Post Your Estimate Request Pictures Here - Vol III

[QUOTE=pmw961;1489396701]Hey Guys,

I just finished this year's 12 week transformation challenge and was hoping to get your opinion of where I started and finished. For reference, I measured myself with calipers at 16% starting and 10.5% finish, both of which I think are a little low but I'm curious to hear your opinions. All photos were taken relaxed. Thanks for the input![/QUOTE]
Approx. 13%

height: 5"9'
weight: 165 lbs

My bf measured using calipers is around 12-13%.

I'd say high teens, around 18%

Terrible lighting IMO. I'd say around 15-16%, but hard for me to tell.

Don't know which caliper method you're using, but Jackson-Pollock will underestimate with the majority, whereas Durnin-Womersley is fairly accurate or may slightly overestimate. You could try posting better photos, or wait and see what others have to say.

@Anonymous391 18%

@pmw961 12-13%

@AlexisWorkrate - Height weight proportionate and untrained.

@socalgreggie97 Probably under 15%. As mentioned last week by others : [b]low fat and low LBM. If abs are a goal, then you'd want to build a solid muscle base first[/b]

*Don’t ask for weekly updates in this thread please.

@MD792 Looks like a stomach and your left pec, not much to go on and you are stretched out which makes you look thinner. 16-19% estimate. If you are really going to try and take progress pic every few weeks or months do yourself a favor and take some real pics. Stand relaxed. Front side and back. You don't have to post them here.

Most people looks thinner with there arms over their heads.

Sorry for the bad lightning ... hopefully these pictures are better. I used Jackson-Pollock 3 point method for the caliper measurement. So I guess that's why it's underestimated.

Pop by the OP and look at the pics of generic male BF 15-20%

At 12% most men with some muscle such as yourself will see some abdominal muscle poking though, and will have very little back fat by the waist of their trunks.

Yep, I would have said about 15%.

Hi i am currently 5'9" or 174cm and 90kg. Today is already a month since i start changing my diet and ive lost around 4kg since (yeay me). Can anyone please estimate my BF%? Thanks!

*pics in bodyspace

last time i tried this i got told 20 to 21 % fat, was kind of a shock, as i had to be lower, lets try it again, its a bit hard, loads of skin :(

[QUOTE=Lucky11987;1489504051]last time i tried[/QUOTE]

Looks like 13-16% area. I think you are done with diet mode.

[QUOTE=Keemgani;1489488161]

Hard to say, not much to go on in pics, I hesitate to even offer an estimate. 20%+/- BF is [b]rough[/b] ballpark.

Would love some help advice on whether a bulk would be sufficient at this stage. thanks guys, due to my post count, I only have progress photos if you could check those out.

Thanks

I am 6'1 178lbs with a 35 inch waist line

Sorry for the poor photo (and the horrendous PJ shorts...), but keen to hear from this photo people's estimations on the abs.

Thanks in advance guys!

Around 16%BF from what I can see.

[QUOTE=ajloney;1489516521]I am 6'1 178lbs with a 35 inch waist line[/QUOTE]

About 21%BF.

I would rather cut some first.

Hard to be precise due to pic limitations... but 23-24%BF feels correct.

About 15%BF.

I appreciate it's not the best photo.
Just another few %s until the target 6 pack.

[QUOTE=Tucane;1489530791]About 21%BF.

Ive callipered and I'm showing 16%. Was this based on my photos?

appreciate your advice

[QUOTE=Tucane;1489531271]About 15%BF.[/QUOTE]

damn, i actually know my BF % this time, its 6%, its measured with the caliper one by a specialist.
but loads of skin hanging which makes it look terrible, just wondered what it looks like to others!
used to weight 140 kg, am @ 72 now so gone train to fill it up as much as possible!
thanks for the guess though!

Yes.

You'll generally get underestimated by a big margin through calipering. There are "better" methods like the Durnin&Womersley-formula, but there are still no guarantees for an accurate reading.

Good luck with your continued progress.

Have you thought about starting a training journal here? Workout program forum is a good spot.

Take time with the gainz, none of us ever filled out all the skin from huge weight loss with muscle. But the muscles all got bigger and stronger.

Posted a current progress photo. Started at around 28% BF over a year ago. Most recent pic taken yesterday, slight flex on the abs. Any idea visually on estimated BF%??

Around 13%

[QUOTE=jakecannon2013;1486769351]I appreciate any feedback. Been working pretty hard over the last several months.

Trying to figure out how much more to cut or should I start bulking? Again, thank you!![/QUOTE]

I find it amazing that your face is the same when your weight has changed so much.
