I'd say you have 16-18%. You really need to add some muscle and that would be ok.

Pretty decent at estimating others body fat levels but I'm a bit unsure when it comes to myself. Part of that is simply because I've had wild ups and downs the last 3 to 4 years. At one point in 2015 I was 225 @ 25-30% (at that point who cares lol)...went on a year and a half long cut down to 155 @ pretty low body fat levels in Summer 2016.
Throughout Fall/winter of 2016 and all of 2017 I was lean bulking and got up to 185 @ about 15%. After that I stopped lifting for a year and ballooned back up to 205 @ 20-22%. Got disgusted with myself and did not enjoy last years Summer because I was so out of shape and in a bad place mentally. I started lifting again in the Fall of 2018 and counting/tracking calories strictly in the Winter. I've lost close to 40 pounds and am now sitting at 166.0 this morning. I took these photos this morning after waking up. I'm estimating 13-14% or thereabouts so any other feedback would be appreciated and thanked with some tender Greens to your CP's.
Before, after cutting a bit and getting down to 200 pounds.

My goal is sub 10%, but ideally 8% or lower by early July. Figuring I'll need to drop down to low to mid 150's to accomplish that. Am I delusional or does that sound realistic based on my current condition? Waist is at 30.5" inches around navel, neck at 15.5" and I am 6'0 tall.
Thanks!
19 5’11 191 lbs. Trying to decide if I should keep cutting. Any estimates? Thanks!

Looking really good. I'm looking at 10% or lower too probably going to need to drop to 175lbs or there abouts, not really sure if I'm going to make it, but going to try regardless.

Thanks brah. Is your avi relatively current? You're not too far off if so. You look as lean, or leaner, than the pics I posted IMO. I'm assuming I'm around 13-14% so I'd say you're 12% or so.
What are you weighing in at right now? I'd say you could hit sub 10 by the time Summer starts depending on where you live. If any Southern state (California and every state to the right at that general latitude) then I guess Summer is already in effect.
I'm "lucky" because I live in Seattle so Summer and lake/beach/shirt off activities aren't really consistent until early July. There's a few 75-85 degree days scattered throughout May and June usually but it's not consistent. Gives me a solid 6 more weeks to lose what I need to in order to hit the sub 10% level.

I have you lower at a solid 12ish%. Sub 10% around 155lb would do it nicely I would say (you would be around 9%). Would I recommend it, no but I hate trying to get lower then 11-12% if its your goal then no you aren't completely insane, 155lbs would be a solid target weight but you have to be slightly crazy to try getting below 10-11% the pain of dieting really kicks in then.

6’1 140lbs currently. Gaining back as we speak though
Hey guys. Could you take a look at my profile and give me an estimate of my current body fat %?
I'm 6'1 220lbs. I think that im somewhere between 20-25%. I'm down from an obese 300lbs and was wondering where abouts im gonna end up if i want to get to around 12% bodyfat. And how much longer will i need to cut.
[QUOTE=Nicksosure1;1580331241]6’1 140lbs currently. Gaining back as we speak though[/QUOTE]
Yeah I was thinking you were tall. I feel you though man, I'm 6'0 and am at 166 at the moment and will have to get into the 150's to be 8%.
Lucky for you is you're so low body fat and your body is practically screaming at you to build muscle. At your level you'll gain a ton of lean mass. I usually advise lean bulking but for you I'd recommend a solid 1-2 pound per week gain if possible. You'll look awesome at 185+

Funny you say 12%. I did a body fat test yesterday after posting in this thread and it said I was 12.4%.
More importantly have 104/79 blood pressure which is essentially perfect. Feels good to be healthy in all phases of life again.

I'm 1-2lbs or so lower then that pic now ~ 190lbs, I live in the EU summer is full blown in around 1.5 - 2 months. I don't really care about that just want to get the fat way down and go on a clean bulk :)
It's a little disheartening as I haven't seen much fat % lose the lower scale weight I go :(

Well I was 315lbs about 3 years ago and took the cut a little far. Been experiencing some muscle memory as far as gaining it back since I started my bulk but I know fat cells act in the same manner so I convinced myself to take it slower than I would otherwise at my weight. Still gaining around .75-1lb a week though, which is a pace I’m fine with right now. I only really have experience in cutting, I’ve never actually done an intentional proper bulk ever since I started getting serious about weight training so it’s been a learning process the last few months.
I appreciate the estimate and any tips my man.
If all of your ribs are showing when you lift your arm up are you closer to 15% or 20%?
Don't have a pic right now but will probably post on later today or tomorrow. I'm 6'1 175.5 morning weight right now

Missed this. Appreciate the estimate man. Wouldn’t mind getting back up to around 9% if I can get back some solid lean mass with it.
So started of August I weighed 210 and was just fat. Now down to 155 Lbs and finished dieting and preparing myself to start my first bulk and was wondering if anyone could give me a body fat estimate. I've pretty much no muscle mass and ideally I would have preferred my body fat to be lower before bulking but I am just shy of 6 foot 1 and have been dieting for 9-10 months now and feel like I just can't lose anymore weight because I already look puny in a shirt due to my complete lack of muscle mass.
So yeah stats are.
6 foot 1
155 lbs
waist is about 32 inches if that helps with estimate.

Look who decided to mosey on over from the misc.
You actually look like you're making progress now bro. I'd say 14%. Have you gotten over the fear of dropping below 185 pounds, I see you're down to 175 now so that's good (srs)?
I know the Misc section ribs you a lot for not making progress in 7 years or whatever it is, but I think you'd look super good at 160-165. Just my opinion.

Good work. Yeah you're at the point now that you'll start noticing results with every couple pounds lost. From 13-17% the visual differences aren't that drastic and you just feel like you're losing size but not looking much different. Once you get below 13% and approach the 10% and under level every single pound makes a difference.
What's your goal in terms of body fat levels? If 10% and below then I'll stick to my 160-165 or so pounds guess. By 170 you should be approaching 12% which is still aesthetic though.

15% around about. Good plan you need to bulk really you aren't fat as you said you just lack muscle so get on a decent progressive training plan and aim to add about 2lbs a month eating a small surplus of calories of around 200-300 above maintenance TDEE.

Yep I have you at 24-25% near enough. 12% bf I would say around 180-185lbs. Time frame depends on your speed of weight loss if you are losing 1% of body weight per week (around 2lbs) so close to 6 months but time frames are very hard to estimate due to personal circumstances.

Good idea I personally have done the Fierce 5 (or a variation of it) and I found it good for packing one the muscle if you are dedicated to it.
[QUOTE=harlyboy;1580407401]and btw i have take creatine for a few months a few days ago i was at 54 and it spike really fast to 57[/QUOTE]
13%. As you are 16 I advise you DON'T count calories and certainly do not consider cutting. Eat to hunger and get on a solid weight training program you are young and should be active so you need to eat to become bigger no question about it.
Creatine use is not required to build muscle in adolescents (or adults actually) as creatines effect on hypertrophy is minimal and is best used for max performance and strength recovery. Although creatine has not been found to have adverse effects on adolescents therefore is safe to use, don't think it will be the supplement to build solid mass as it won't.
Eat regular high protein meals with nutritional food sources such as whole grain, potatoes, beans, fruit and veg whilst enjoy food you like and be active whilst enjoy being 16. You have a lean base so work hard and enjoy being young.

14% around about you can see the clear cut in on your upper abs. You are at the point where you could do either cut/ bulk for your personal preference for a bit what is your goal?
Long term though a bulk would be my advice but like I said depends on your personal goal short term.

You will probably have to go a little lower then 155lbs to be 12% just because of the water weight and glycogen loss so around another 10lbs at 152 would have you pretty much there and most likely based on the size of your core which is noticeable already relaxed I think top 4 abs will be quite solid (maybe not popping but certainly clearly noticeable).
You do have the mass/ look to go lower if you wish IMHO so yes aiming for around 12% at 150-155lb bracket would have you looking lean whilst maintaining good size. Then on the slow long lean bulk train to add even more mass.

I have you at 15-16%. The only reason you notice more fat around your core is because you lack some lean body mass. I am 6ft 2 as well and at my cut level I am at 80kg so you do need to bulk sooner rather then later.

Went from 305 lbs to 185 “recomped” to about. I’ve never really been lean and I don’t have a lot of muscle mass so I’m not exactly sure what to do. I just took a week eating around maintenance and was thinking ofspending the next month finishing cutting, but I’d end up like a pencil. Or I bulk up but won’t be super lean for summer. Any advice appreciated
