[QUOTE=AdamWW;1627489173]im basing my guesses on pictures, not a calculation of heights, etc...
He doesn't have 'way more mass' than you, he simply appears to have different insertions...
Your ab definition, skin thickness, and separation in general is quite similar.
Don't let weights fool you into thinking someone MUST weigh more/less based on the %...
In this photo im like 145lb at 6-feet tall... but I look bigger than I am because im around 10%
[/QUOTE]
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
I’m about 5’11” and 150lbs. I’d like to be at or close to 10% BF before I begin a long, slow bulk. Any estimate as what I’m at with these 3 pics? Pics are front relaxed, front flexed, back relaxed.

Do NOT lose weight... you need to gain muscle....

gotcha. I'll begin upping my calories then. Do you have an estimate of bf? Ultimately it doesn't matter, but I'd like to have a reference number for historical purposes.

[QUOTE=bittersalt;1627464273]Hi guys, I've uploaded 3 of my most recent pictures in my profile.
I think I'm developing a mild case of body dysmorphia. I'm not satisfied with how I currently look and I get anxious whenever I look in the mirror every morning. A girl just told me that my abs sucks and it destroyed my self confidence. Currently, I can only see my abs in good lighting but my dream is to be able to see it in any lighting. I'm so confused about what should I do next. I'm 169cm and 60kg and I think my bodyweight is already incredibly light for a guy but should I diet down? What is my bodyfat percentage? and can anybody please give me an objective opinion on how my abs look? can it pass as a legitimate "six pack"?
I apologize for any grammatical errors, english is not my first language
Thanks you[/QUOTE]
The girl you talked to is crazy. Now if you want the abs you've worked hard for to POP HIT legs and glutes and work on dropping another 3-4 kg of fat and you'll be golden.
[QUOTE=AdamWW;1627430693]Looks around 16-17% to me[/QUOTE] I do believe he is between 15-17%
[QUOTE=faithbrah;1627430433]visible adonis belt (or whatever you want to call it) but the ab definition isn't there yet, a bit hard to say... maybe 14-16%?[/QUOTE] We all are on the same page ish!
[QUOTE=AdamWW;1627466383]First off, I dunno what kind of girls you hang out with, but that is insane...
You actually have pretty damn good ab structure and you’re around 12-13% bodyfat.
You look really fit to me... don’t worry about it, you’re good.[/QUOTE] I agree, your ab structure is great! That girl was just being a jerk or jealous.

Going off topic here and this just an estimation, but that girl could have been giving you a fitness test because she liked you and wanted to see if you buckle or maintain frame. If anything that means your doing good work and I wouldn’t let it shake you (that’s what women want to see as well that they can’t shake you). Internalize the changes your making with your body for YOURSELF or else you will never be happy unless you receive validation from others, which makes you dependent on others for your own happiness.
Good luck buddy.

Hard to say from how tiny they are...
Maybe 12-13%

Thank you for the estimate , sorry for their quality . I had the impression that I was actually closer towards 14-16% , in any case , should I drop a couple of pounds , or just straight out bulk in your opinion ?

Thanks, you don’t think I could cut further I was going to try and get to around 10-12% and then run at maintenance with 100-200 surplus and hit and the compound lifts. Incline press, squat, OHP, pull up, trapbar deadlift, and wide grip rows. Your physique is fantastic and would like to work towards something like that as a natty.
Thanks for the feedback

I think you can cut further, part of my BF assessment of 16% was also partially based on your height and weight, most people unless they have extensive strength training history aren't going to be that lean at 6'2" and 197, for you maybe around 185 to be down around 12%? Thats just a rough guess...
Hi guys! thank you for all your support and encouragement. I know that I shouldn't have taken a random girl's words seriously. Really appreciate you guys. I'll keep on grinding for me and myself only. Thank you!

You could cut but getting lower is dangerous cause from experience. Your mind will phuck you over and you'll just rebound. Everything starts tasting like candy and hormones go out of whack. Ultimately it's up to you but gaining will make you look bigger and better after a cutting phase.
That pic of me was at end of cut. I was 157 lol after glycogen refill and hormone balance I was up to 170 lol I did leap from 9% to 12% but I look way better than at 9% and can function properly again.
So as I said. In your case. I recommend going into a lean bulk then cutting again in 8 months and repeat.

Are we even looking at the same photo? He's getting lean, but he's nowhere near "dangerous" territory.

Sure he is around 16%, BUT I don't think he has much left to cut down to.
