[QUOTE=Metalmank;1505943781]Getting ready to end my long caloric deficit.
I've gone from 240ish roughly to 175-180. Probably could of gone a little leaner, but I ready to put on some size .
This was around late 2015 / early 2016

This was between Feb and the beginning of may.

Great transformation!
I would have guessed you were around 20-22% in the top pictures and 10-12% in the bottom.
I don't think you could have lost 60lb between photos because you would have had to start at 35%+ body fat, assuming you are 10% in the recent pictures and adding 60lb of fat to make you 240lb.
But not trying to take anything away from you, the results are good.

You're not wrong.
I lost my older pictures, But I started F5 and my deficit early 2015 (January roughly). Had a few breaks inbetween due to life / moving etc. As stated the top pics are from Nov-Dec 2016 to early January 2017. Then the bottom is from January to about now. The first group of pictures I was probably around 205-210 I think
I started at about 230-240 in early 2015 when I got serious about my weight.
But thanks! Glad to know I'm around my goal BF %

[QUOTE=Adare1;1505939811]I agree with most of @Tigerzen's estimates and therefore normally do not add to his assessments, however in this specific case I would have put you down at around 14-15% w/ muscle mass. Albeit I agree that it somewhat hard to tell given how lean you look withput quite having ab definition yet. Is this a cut first or a bulk to cut?[/QUOTE]
This was a bulk to cut. I went from about 62kg to about 74kg, now I weigh 67kg. What do you mean with " 14-15% w/ muscle mass"?

Hi, everyone

Q: what is my body fats?
Q: is my goal doable in my first cycle ?

15% bf will look different cutting first w/o added muscle mass than around 15% from cutting after a bulk w/ added muscle mass.

Hello friends,
11 weeks ago I uploaded a photo (named 20170307) when I started to lose weight. I was at 76,1 kg (168 lb). The estimation of this forum was that I was at 22%BF (home scale said 24.9% and gym scale said 23.9%)
8 weeks later I took a photo of me (named 20170502), I was 71.8 kg (158 lb) and home scale said 22.8%BF.
Yesterday I took a new pic (name 20170524), my weight is now 70.3kg (155 lb). Scale at home says I am at 20.5%BF but gym scale said 17.8%.
I thank you all if you can estimate my BF% of my last picture.
I don't trust home scale because I have seen changes of 1% of BF% in two measurements of 1 minute apart.
I don't know if I can trust gym scale, it seems much more professional.. but, who knows?.
I know I can trust BBforum wisdom lol!!!!
Thank you all
(can anyone recommend me a good scale for tracking BF%, preferable if it is sold in Amazon, thanks).

@skullbreaker 18-20%

5'9 203ish lb. pant size is 34-36. I have a light history of lifting. my best 5 rep max ever for bench/squat/deadlift was 230/305/410. These numbers have gone down considerable since I have been cutting for over 20 weeks.
Can multiple ppl give me an estimate. I will take the avg of those numbers.

I would say 20% is about right, but could be slightly higher or lower depending on your genetics. If you can get below 175-180lb and keep your lean mass you'll be ripped. Good balance of muscle but I think you need a bit more upper chest from an aesthetic point of view. Good luck!

[QUOTE=gentleman4561;1506063561]208lbs here, 6'4.

I think slightly under 20%. You look like you have a lot of potential to get bigger.

I would guess 25%. 170lb is a good goal and more muscle would look good. Focus on the big lifts and don't forget to train legs.

[QUOTE=Patrickclose09;1505962361]5' 9" / 175cm
184-189lb / 83.5-86kg
How much fat weight do you think I need to lose to be competition ready? Without noticeable losses of muscle or strength? I have never been properly shredded because I'm afraid of catabolising muscle.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.[/QUOTE]
If someone could take a look at my photos and give me an estimate that would be appreciated.

Thank you
170 is my goal
Doing nothing but the 5 big lifts, pull-ups/chins and few random accessjust got serious on deadlift and squats few months ago
265/295/295 right now

Hey everyone! I would really appreciate some help with my bf because I have no idea how to estimate it! Photos are on my bodyspace (the last 3). Stats: 1.71 m / 5' 7", 61 kg / 134,5 lbs
Being on a caloric deficit now in order to loose some fat after a long pause from the gym. Before photos are also on my bodyspace, so I would love to know also my bf when I began.
Thanks a lot :)

bump for another check:
5'9 203ish lb. pant size is 34-36. I have a light history of lifting. my best 5 rep max ever for bench/squat/deadlift was 230/305/410. These numbers have gone down considerable since I have been cutting for over 20 weeks.
Can multiple ppl give me an estimate. I will take the avg of those numbers. THESE pics were taken after a heavy carb meal, so I'm a bit bloated in these pics.

I couldn't tell which of your pictures is recent. From what I could tell, they were all dated in 2015.

Thanks for the feedback! Very helpful. It's hard to be objective with your own pictures.
I'm getting close to dropping into the 180's, which I haven't seen since '98 or '99.
I've noticed the same about the upper chest and have been doing incline db presses twice a week.
Any other suggestions? I have issues with flys because of mild shoulder pain.
Again, thanks a ton for the input.

178 cm. Lifting and getting fit with multiple sclerosis. Coming off a two month cut. Weighing in at around 67-68 kg. Only have my combined before and after (Or as close to as I have of a before) picture here to upload. Obviously looking for an estimate on the after one :p

Personally I think 15% is a bit too low but really appreciate that.
