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

[QUOTE=Jetsfool51;1505019481]I cant post pictures because i dont have enough posts yet but I'm fairly new to working out just want to get an estimate of my bf percentage so i know my starting point and where to go from here because i want to cut bodyfat and then lean bulk so any help would be appreciated
Age- 22 years old
height- 5'7
weight- 180pounds[/QUOTE]

Can't judge without pics.

You can though. Find the fattest spot on your body and grab a good chunk, measure the thickness and convert to millimeters. That mm value will be a rough estimate of your BF%.

What do you guys think? 16%?
6 feet (182cm) at 191lbs (86.5kg)
waist size about 32 inches
trying to get to 10% as of now, still unsure of a realistic time frame.

[QUOTE=Adare1;1505040011]Thanks Tucane. How long do you think it would take to go down to 10 or even single digits? Beginning to think not worth the extra month when there's so much to gain by simply beginning the clean bulk... (perhaps even more definition to gain on second cut)[/QUOTE]

Something like 2-4 weeks per %-point depending on deficit size. So a cut until end of summer for guaranteed single digits... you will likely feel small but look bigger doing so:-) Can't say if it's worth it or not for you, personal preference applies.

[QUOTE=cr4igyj82;1505069361]Hi,

Could I get an BF% estimate please? I've never bulked before but am keen to start so if anyone could also give me advice on how much more I should cut before I start a lean bulk I would really appreciate it.

5' 7/8
151lbs (lost 25lbs so far)

Waist: 31.5"
Neck: 14"
Chest: 37"

In the 18-19%BF range. Keep cutting until you feel lean enough:-)

[QUOTE=Benjibenj91;1505073941]Hi everyone!
6 foot 4 - 205lb. Been cutting since Christmas - progress pics on my Bodyspace. Could I get a BF estimate on my latest picture please? Just trying to shed last bit of fat on lower back before going back on a slow bulk.

About 10%BF, give or take half a %-point.

Around 15%BF. Could take 8-12 weeks if you're really effective in cutting and everything goes as planned... Im reality, propably slightly longer.

all right. I was thinking running a 750-1000 kcal deficit (my maintenance is very high) until 12%, then a smaller deficit until 10%, or do I risk losing too much mass like this?

A little hard to tell given the angle, but I'd say 14-15%. Your profile looks more like 12-13

abs I do cable crunches at the maximum weight (91kg I think) 4 x 30 reps
leg raises, side planks, normal planks, sometimes ab wheel

Also, squats, but it's all about the diet (obvs)

Damn that's worse than I thought, should I just cut even though I don't have much of any muscle to cut down to? I feel like a lb a month is too slow

[QUOTE=Adare1;1505386631]15-16%[/QUOTE]
Really?? I thought it would be atleast 20%+, but hey, I'll take it!

Oops! That was meant for JMarbs, and I'd change to 20 actually. I didn't have a hard look just saw profile pic.

Your estimate is more on the order of 22% bf. My bad :o

Thanks for that

Hi there,

Pics are in mybodySpace.


I am a 36 Years old 5 7'' tall and 150lb
I have omron scan which tells me I hve 22% fat but I dont know if it is true!

My goal is to reach 15% and start bulking.
How long do you think it is gonna take me if I am following my current diet which is 50% Protein 35% fat and 15% carb 1300 Kcl a day.

Taking CLA , L Carintin and Omega 3 daily with light 3 days a week exercise at home, wonder if it is posible without going to the gym for Wieght lifting.

Would love to hear from you guys.

Could be a long time... but don't fixate on that. Just get started! (And I also would recommend you do exercise in the gym, or outside rather than at home, unless you have a treadmill)

Tiger already guessed my bf% of around 23%, I forgot to ask what percentage should I cut to until I can start bulking? Thanks in advanced.

Now 149 lb. 22bf % But still have almost the same shape!

If you're eating majority lean and healthy your shape will change. You can lean out eating unhealthy food and it might have an uglier effect on the body, but you'll still lose weight. I think 22% is a good estimate.

Pic is in avi..can I get an estimate?

Thanks for your help.

192lbs / 5 feet 10 inches /

I've again gained weight i was 235 pounds and lost 60 pounds now at 192?
Can anyone help me tell my Fat percentage?

I've been cutting for 4 months now. I'm down 35#. My end goal is to get to 10% bodyfat then begin a clean bulk. However, i dont exactly know my bodyfat percentage. Currently i'm 31 years old 6ft tall and 173#. My waist is 32.5" at the navel. According to an average of my measurements (pollock 3 pt caliper, navy method, and bodyfat scale) im currently around 13%. Judging from the mirror i'd have to agree. I have a slight hint of abs, some visible striations in my upper body, and decent veinage. Today i got a hydro-static measurement done and according to that im 5.7% bodyfat!!!!! Supposedly it's the "gold standard". I'm pretty sure that it's not accurate, but im worried maybe i am sub 10% and im just scrawny? Could it be that i just have hardly any muscle? I consider myself average at least strength wise(330 squat, 225 bench,350dead). I'm currently at 2000cal with a macros of 35%p/40%c/25%f. I do low intensity cardio 2-3 weekly and i am strictly following a ever other day HST strength program to preserve muscle mass while cutting. My profile and last pic in bodyspace is what i currently look like. Do you guys think that i'm right with my bodyfat estimates in the 13% range or am i sub 10% with hardly any muscle mass? I really really wanted abs before i started my bulk, but maybe i dont have enough muscle for them to show???? Help!!!!

A few weeks into my cut looking for an estimate to gauge my progress 6', 172lbs.

Did you do any ab specific work over the course of your cut?

[QUOTE=Adare1;1505659561]Did you do any ab specific work over the course of your cut?[/QUOTE]

In the beginning not really. About mid way through my cut i added in maybe 2 ab days a week(maybe 3 sets of 2-3 ab exercises at the end of lifting). Now i've been hitting them harder. Figured the heavy compound lifting in my HST routine hits them as well. I can feel them under there, they just arent quite visible yet. I think the last bit of bodyfat i'm holding is belly/hip fat.
