After

Lost 4-5lbs and approx 1 inch from my waist
From 149 to 144-145
Height: 5'6.5
Please estimate my bf% before and after. And is lean bulking for another 5-6 month should be my next move

Thanks in advance. Rep will be given

6'4, 193.5 lbs. Honestly I thought I was closer to the 13-15% range... If anybody could give me their best guess, that will be greatly appreciated and I'll certainly rep back. I'm just kinda stuck in no man's land right now not sure if I should try to lose a few more pounds or start attempting to put on lean mass again.

16-17% - yes you should carry on bulking aim to add about 2lbs a month.

Before 17-18%

After 16%-17%.

Yes bulking is probably the best course of actions take things slow and add about 1-2lbs a month.

14-15%. You should be bulking. As a taller guy you can get away with being heavier then the average joe.

I'm 46 years old, 5'9, pictures from two weeks ago, in week 7 of my shredz, dieted down from 187lbs to then 174lbs.

Any body fat estimates?[/QUOTE]

Around 9-10% very lean.

Hi all. Can anyone estimate my bf please? Im 5'7 and currently at 172 lbs. The picture is in my profile gallery.

Also should I cut or bulk?

Thanks!

Hi hardyboysare i would like another bodyfat estimate these one is before my lean bulk.
[url]https://imgur.com/a/KLwh6zx[/url]

As from your estimate above my bodyfat after my bulk is 17-18% i wanna know how much bodyfat i gain. Thanks again

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1576936321]Around 9-10% very lean.[/QUOTE]

Thanks man, I was more thinking 10-12% since my arms are still soft.

5ft 10, 154 lbs, Age 37

Some background - used to weigh in at 260lbs hence the excess skin. Currently cutting with a blend of cardio / lifting. My goal is to continue to lower bodyfat towards 15%. At the moment I'd estimate myself around 20% but would like some other views. Advice on next steps? Continue to cut, seems I have a lot more fat to get rid of.

Hi.

Im 6 foot 85kg

I think im ~21% body fat?

Please could I get an estimate

Hello, can someone please give a body fat percentage estimate I weigh 156 lbs and I am 5'7. Thank you.

Could someone please estimate my bf%? seems like it's hard to estimate since ppl gave me different answers.

1st picture protruding stomach
2nd unflexed
3rd flexed

i'm saying 15%?

im cutting down to lean 10% from skinnyfat then lean bulking.

thanks alot in advance!

[QUOTE=wave_length;1576961231]Thanks man, I was more thinking 10-12% since my arms are still soft.[/QUOTE]

You would be the leanest 12% I have ever meet....

Meet in the middle and say 10-11%. You are incredible lean although you also have a large amount of lean body mass so any fat you have may just be not as noticeable to others simply because of your muscular size. I can't imagine someone having as defined serratus anterior and vascularity in the chest above 11% but is possible I guess.

Whatever % you look fantastic and if you plan to go lower it will be very intriguing.

20% and cut. Make sure you follow a decent workout program whilst doing your cut and you may add a small amount of muscle.

About 15% before your lean bulk.

About 14-15%. You lack lean body mass so should bulk. Well done on the weight loss.

19% would be guess.

19% is a close call.

Thanks man, I plan on going lower another 8lbs to about 165lbs. The last two weeks I did a recomp staying at about the same weight but slowly gaining some strength. Also to keep sane and take a little break from the diet since I‘m probably a little early for summer. Next two months I hope to get into the best shape of my life.

Well look forward to seeing the outcome you look great now so I imagine you will look shredded and built by end. Good luck.

Pics on profile. 5 foot 8 inches tall 175 lbs . My guess is 23% ?

Yep would be my guess as well 22-23%.

Rough bf%? Pic taken in morning semi flexed. I'm 174cm, 69.5 kg. Looking to start second bulk but don't know if lean enough.

Hey,
Im 5'8, 162lbs and am looking for an estimate.
Also, any advice to keep cutting or start a bulk.
Thanks!

Hi,
5' 10" 18 y/o 160 lbs
2 month update, I hit my old goal weight of 160 lbs (from 170 lbs) and would like to get a new estimate.
Pics in body space. Also any advice would be wonderful and would like to ask if I lost any noticeable muscle mass on this cut. I have a February 5 picture.
I've gone this far and plan to shred another 10... **** it... I'm feeling small but I think I will have noticeable abs at 150 but if that's not the case, please let me know!

14%. Depends on your goal if you want to be leaner for summer then you could probably cut another 7lbs and be at 12-13%. If you are happy with your leanness then start lean bulking.

No you haven't you actually look a lot better and as you are more defined, thus bigger. If you are happy looking slim in a shirt then go for it, its one of those things for most natural weight lifters with average amounts of muscle mass, either look big in a shirt but have excess fat or look defined out of one but small in a shirt.

You look better now. About 13-14%

I have a bf scales and calipers, usually I get a reading between 19 and 25% bf.

Interested to see what people think my % is as I've been cutting for over a year (I was 210lbs and roughly 40% bf), and am wanting to start bulking. Mainly because people are saying I look too thin and a little sickly... I don't see that though.

I'm open to any criticism or advice too if you have any. Thanks

21-22%. Well done on the weight loss for starts, make sure you are weight training if you aren't already on a well set up and planned program. Based on your previous forum question you weren't really follow a progressive weight training program, this will need to change to see the results I imagine you are after.

Home workouts are fine if you have the equipment, a simple range of medium to heavy dumbbells will offer good results if you follow a decent program have a look at this:-

As for being told you look skinny that is because people have only seen you fat. I would lose more and get to about 15% (you will start to see your core outline) then bulk.

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1577109271]Based on your previous forum question you weren't really follow a progressive weight training program[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the advice. I've been doing push pull legs for a while at home. I have dumbbells and a barbell and bench. I also have Kettlebells but don't really use them.

I'm starting the gym in the morning as I only have 50 kgs at home.

I haven't really followed any set programme, do you think I should or would a ppl split do the job?

Hey guys, first post on my bodybuilding journey. Lost about 30 pounds and still going! Problem is, my thighs are so much fatter and out of proportion to the rest of me, at least i think. Can i get a estimate on my bf % on upper body, lower body, and overall?

It is probably best you do. Any weight training will help but already designed well rounded programs offer insurance you don't have any imbalances within the program which most home made programs have. Try a decent program and progress on that and once you have made some decent strength gains/ muscle gains then tinker to your own needs.

Here are but a few programs I would advise:-

Pick one of these workouts that suit your individual lifestyle, remember that the link between strength and size is generally that the stronger you are the bigger you are.

[url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175493881[/url]

That said some people respond better to different rep range and workout methods however increasing in strength with the right nutrition will cause size increase in most if not all beginners and are the foundations of all training programs. All these programs will work whether you are cutting or bulking, calories control whether you are losing weight or gaining it.

Training programs:-

[b]Starting Strength[/b]
[url]https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs[/url] – Very well-known program which is simple to understand and easy to execute, a barbell is required and progression is quick. A highly recommended starting point for all beginners and is still effective for intermediates and advanced alike depending on their needs.

[b]StrongLifts[/b]
[url]https://stronglifts.com/5x5/[/url] – Another solid starting point for all beginner weight trainers, doesn't generally have the renowned backing off Starting Strength however personally I find a real solid program to start off with (I personally used this program in the beginning and still do from time to time). Progression is quick and the exercises are the key lifts, as well as this very easy to add supplementary exercises once you progress.

[b]Jim Welder 5/3/1[/b]
[url]https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/531-how-to-build-pure-strength[/url] – One of the best programs around for strength gains and can easily be adapted and added to in order increase muscular size. His programs are fantastic and in-depth with a vast amount of information available online and especially in his books (I highly recommended buying them if possible).
For beginners it is best to start with this program of 5/3/1:-
[url]https://jimwendler.com/blogs/jimwendler-com/101065094-5-3-1-for-a-beginner[/url]

[b]Fierce 5[/b]
[url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=162916931&page=1[/url] – One of most solid programs designed on this forum and is basically the complete package this has programs that start off with beginners all the way to advanced. I personally have found this to be both enjoyable yet challenging and have added solid amount of muscle doing it.

[b]AllPro[/b]
[url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=169172473[/url] – A simple but effective method to build solid muscle, does lack some of the elements of strength, however with the basics comes the ability to add strength elements. That said very good at building muscle mass. I have not personally used this one but has a very strong follow here and comes very highly recommended.

Training is only one part you must have good nutrition as well I advise you to read this section for more information:-

After all that remember the best training program is the one you stick to. Muscle development takes time and no training program will cause instant results and require dedication. Therefore stick with the program and only change when you truly feel you have got all you can out of the program.
