[QUOTE=TryingBB;1609049711]What is my current bodyfat?
Do you see any improvement anywhere compared to my last pics? And where are the improvements?
I feel like I look the same (but I am lighter and stronger :))
How many more pounds to loose you think to get to 13% to 14%?
Some days I look lesser fat than others. Each pics is one a day over the last few days
My plan is to cut to 158lbs and then start a slow bulk gaining 2lbs a month for 7 to 8 months. That sounds fair or should
I switch to bulk now?
[/QUOTE]
In order for you to get 13-14% as Luclin stated you would need to drop to 150lb or below and personally at 5ft 8 I would say that is a perfectly acceptable target to aim for. Cutting 5lbs is likely to do nothing as a large portion of that maybe water weight, glycogen and general substance in your body.
You are at that stage where you wont generally see any massive built gains as around 20% bf makes it harder to see muscle progress that is generally wise 'experts' across the internet suggest cutting to below 15%, the actual hormonal growth isn't that much effected by normal bf% ranges. So if you cut down to below 15% you will see the progress you made through the increase of your strength.
However as always cutting to lower bf% is likely to cause mental doubts that you are losing muscle and look too skinny, it happens to everyone. Just stick to your level of leanness you wish to achieve and go for it whilst trying your upmost to maintain your strength.

[QUOTE=Luclin999;1609124481]Based on all of the pictures, 21%.
Meaning that you would have to drop to about 150 pounds to get to 14%.[/QUOTE]
:(:( <— naah j/k. It is what it is. Just gotta get leaner :)
But that’s just insane - I was thinking that I’m hopefully lower bodyfat Than that but I’m not
This skinny fat really sucks. I look so skinny with shirt on. Even mediums are loose on me now.
I’ll try and cut to as low as I can tolerate - even this is too skinny for me at this time but we shall see. Another thing is my TDEE will drop so much more if I get that low bodyweight and that don’t go well with corona / staying indoors and me being a food lover Lol
Thank you luclin999 and hardyboysare!! I’ll follow up for another estimate in 4 to 6 weeks...

10-11%.
If you are going for "abs" then you probably should just start a bulk because it doesn't look like you have them developed enough to be much more visible than they already are.

Thank you to everyone who helped me out here a few months ago. Hoping to get back onto the 2020 pressing thread once I have barbell access again (just dumbbells for now). Been bulking for the last few months from 162 to 170 lb at 6'1".

Started doing legit strength programs back in November (nsuns, A2S2, and now BTM) as well as training for a century. Any idea on bf %? Presumably I should keep bulking for the time being?

Hey guys I'm kind of new to lifting and eating right, and I'd really appreciate a body fat estimate. I tried it myself with caliper's and got 12% but that seems too low to me and I don't really trust myself. Here's a few pictures of me I tried to take the best ones I could.

True update july 2020
So I just added 2 progress photos, plain light. My problem was that I had several scans showing a really adverse result 6 months at a time 30+ % Bf and losing muscle mass and stuff. However by eye and tape measure it’s ok. Last guess was 18% I’ve done a few mini cycles since then. Pretty happy just eating healthy and lifting. I’m doing overload. Do you think there’s enough mass to do a cut if I’m careful? Even to get to 15% I’d be stoked don’t require all the way to 10% and minus.

18% looks about right. It is entirely up to you whether you want to cut or bulk first. Just bear in mind that if you bulk first you will end up looking a little bloated and will need an even more protracted cut afterwards. If you cut first you will have to deal with looking smaller and smaller for a while. It depends on which version of events you are more comfortable with.

To be honest, its harder to tell since you are posed and flexing in the photo instead of relaxed and pictured from the front facing forward.

22% and frankly you don't look like you have developed your abdominal muscles enough to have "a nice visible six pack" at really any body fat level at this point. Abdominal muscles like any other muscle have to be built up before they will appear well defined.

"Baby Shark" guy back again. Did a bulk over the last 5 months.
I'm 5'7" and 176lb, what % you think I am?
Pics aren't in the greatest lighting. I can see striations on the chest & shoulders. Have feathering on my quads and the Beginning of a Christmas tree.
What are my weak points? Strong points?
Bulk more or start cutting? Maintain?

From the 1st post of this thread.
"Best results will include full body pictures,[B] in a relaxed pose,[/B] taken from front, side, and back"
Pictures of you posed and flexing will just hide fat and make you look leaner than you actually are.

They're all just guesses. If you got stronger in that time then some of it was likely to be muscle. Probably what happened is that you weren't actually 17% two months ago.

Hi guys, I would appreciate an estimate of my body fat percentage
Stats: 27 y.o., 6'1, 192lbs this morning, 4 weeks into cutting.
All 6 pictures in the link below have been taken first thing in the morning, completely relaxed. First 3 in natural sunlight, last 3 with bathroom lightening.
My Garmin Smart Scale says by body fat is at 19%. What do you think?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

A "two month bulk" isn't really enough time to gain much in the way of muscle, and it is very easy for people inexperienced with the process to mistake increased "size" with muscle gains. Generally when on a bulk, if your waist size is increasing, you are getting fatter.

18% -ish
Your genetics for fat retention are very good though as it looks to be distributed almost perfectly evenly over your whole body.
