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

[QUOTE=garry32e;1629558923]Hi everyone! nice to meet you

6’0 175 here

any guesses on my body fat ? pics in my profile

have a beach vacation in a month and hoping to drop some fat by then.. have heard good things about intermittent fasting

thx[/QUOTE]

About 17%

Intermittent fasting is just a eating schedule. It doesn’t burn extra fat.

[QUOTE=SFMike99;1629586413]Roughly 6’4, 245 Ibs. I believe I’m roughly 27% body fat.

I’d say closer to 32%

5´8
Left picture is 204, right picture is 175

Dont be misled by the lightning and angles, the right picture is the best i look with the right picture. How far down should i cut cuz my abs arent showing, probably due to the fact that i never train them (should work on that).

6' 1 1/2"

246 lbs in the picture. Been lifting at home for two years now at the end of Feb. Cutting at 2400 right now, would like to end up around 218. been eating...a lot obviously...lol. Morning pic, not post gym.


bf % guesses?

Likely 21-22%, but post another photo, relaxed pose, with your arms down to sides.

Based on THAT picture, your height, build, and estimated lean mass...

I'd put you between 25% and 27%

Chest is 51" at the moment, waist is 37" if that matters. Arms 18 1/2"


I'll see about another pic.

I’m basing more on peak muscular potential at your height.

A 6-1 or 6-2 natural bodybuilder on stage totally maxed out at like 6% BF would be like 190 on stage... which means about 178lb peak LBM shredded.

If we assumed you’re carrying a decent amount of extra water and food in your system compared to a stage ready lifter, we might estimate your current total lean mass at around 185.

So if you had 185lb of lean mass now at 245lb, you’d be about 25%

However, assuming you haven’t totally peaked your natural potential, it might be a little higher... so I just gave the 25-27 range.

Cool. I won't be stepping on stage, just cutting a bit for summer. I am 238 as of this morning after a few weeks of 2400 cals. I'd like to end up around 215-218, so I'm assuming I'd need to be closer to 210 before going back to maintenance.

Since I have been lifting for just shy of two years, there is a zero percent chance I am near nat limit, so I'd say you are probably pretty close.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what I look like with 20 lbs less fat. I think I started early enough, so time will tell.

Can someone estimate my body fat percentage? want to know where I'm at and if I should continue my cut or do a maintenance phase to build some muscle.

height: 5'6"
weight: 115lbs
measurements: 23.5inch waist, 36/37inch hips

age 18.

thx in advance

[QUOTE=AbdulazizSab;1629921023]Been cutting for almost 5 months. Should I keep going 'til the end of Feb or bulk now?
I think my BF is somewhere 16-18. What do you think?? I wear mostly smalls now :(

Age: 25
Height: 5'10


Thanks in advance![/QUOTE] I think you're already quite lean. I'd recommend doing a maintenance phase to focus on building muscle because if you've been cutting that long it's likely your metabolism has adapted quite a bit and it's usually a good idea to do a maintenance phase every few months. I'm in the same situation, I've been cutting since July 27th (Actually 6months damn) with some refeed days or diet breaks here and there but I'm not sure what to do either. I just got an acc here and I posted, if u could give me feedback too i'd appreciate it. :p

Your BMI is only .1 points from being clinically underweight....

No, do not cut more....

The fact that you're even asking is kind of concerning.

You definitely have some concerning thoughts about your body... you don't have fat to lose right now without risking serious damage to your health.

The fact that you can't see how tiny/lean/and fit you look is shocking to me...

You are leaner/fitter looking than 99.99999% of the population. Try to focus on more important things... you're young... try to enjoy life, enjoy food, don't worry about the small things.

Thanks for your feedback. Not the most knowledgeable here but judging from your pictures, you have an incredibly fit physique and most people would call your body their dream body. Your quads are really well developed. Your waist to hip ratio is damn near perfection. Some would say you’re competition ready. And the fact that you’re only 18! Personally, I don’t think you should lose any more weight. You could maintain or bulk up if you wanna add some muscle.

You're knowingly becoming anorexic... you're walking into a terrible lifestyle right now... fix it before it ruins your life.

I don't believe you, but you can feel free to keep lying to yourself if you want.

Hopefully you can realize the issue and stop before it totally consumes you. I did what I could... good luck.

if I thought I was skinny or at all borderline unhealthy looking i'd definitely eat more and quit cutting. there's rlly nothing I can do about my BDD though:/ doesn't matter how many ppl say I'm already skinny cuz I feel fat yk

i realize there's probably an issue, I just don't know how to fix it lol

You are very lean.

Do [B]NOT[/B] diet anymore.

5'7" 163lbs right now, going for about 154lbs. I want the 10-12% bf look, hopefully my goal is realistic lol. I will reevaluate when I get there.

I think my BF is somewhere 16-18. What do you think??
Been cutting for almost 5 months. Should I keep going 'til the end of Feb or lean bulk now?
If I do bulk now, I will eat 80% - 90% clean whole foods and only go a little over maintenance.
I also included my starting point when I first started my cut back in september.


Age: 25
Height: 5'10
Weight: 156 lbs
Waist: 27 inches


Your assessment/advice/critiques would be much appreciated.

Just curious how lean are these guys?

I think 16% is a reasonable guess.

Hey

I was just curious to how lean they were, i plan on cutting from 315lbs after this off season and want to set a goal physique to have

So about 3 weeks ago I posted a couple pictures (estimating myself at 15%) while you had me estimated at 13-14% ish.
I'd assume I'm at about 12% right now but I'd let you be the judge

Pictures are relaxed & flexed

[QUOTE=CommitmentRulz;1630031963]You need more muscle muscle much worse than you need to lose weight... ;-) Start now.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot! Your comment made me happy...can’t wait to come off this cut! I’m gonna gradually increase my calories until I reach a modest surplus and monitor my weight from there. Thanks again!

No one should be obsessing about their bf% unless they are competing. The measuring devices aren't accurate anyway.

Just stick to correct portion sizes to get started. Did you take a look at the stickies for THIS particular info? I would also try Quest protein bars for "dessert"/snacks. They are low in calories but are a high-quality whey protein isolate supplement.

[QUOTE=JustCallMeJonny;1630054283]I’m just curious how lean they really are[/QUOTE]



That's the thing- no one really knows because all bf % measuring devices are inaccurate. It's a guestimate. I just go by how I appear in the mirror and I don't rely on numbers to tell me how fit or muscular I am. My regimen, my food selection and my results will speak for themselves. If I was competing I would have to focus strictly on bf%, but it's flawed anyway.

I just read some posts above. If anyone believes they may have BDD (body dysmorphic disorder) then they should see a qualified eating disorder specialist/center as soon as possible. Good luck to all.

You’ll need to be less than 153 if you want 11%

Well, you were 136lb last time and I estimated about 13.5%....

If you know how many lbs you've lost since then, you can just do the math against you're lean body weight and get a pretty reasonable guess...

You'll never know if you're a 'true' 8% unless you die and get an autopsy...

I said that bc people often underestimate how lean 8% looks.

Thanks , I think I’m close, but not quite lean enough yet, still holding some fat/water in my lower abs
