[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1570312311]10-11% would be my say. Forget insulin sensitivity unless you are diabetic, it wont effect an healthy individual when gaining weight. Just take your lean bulk slowly (200-300 calories above maintenance). Any weight/ visual differences you see after starting your lean bulk (first month) will just be water/ glycogen and increased food in your system don't be put off gaining weight (around 2lbs a month), you don't get fat overnight.[/QUOTE]Ok, thanks. I've had some issues with higher than normal blood sugar in the past, so that's why I want to make sure I don't lose much insulin sensitivity.

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1570311361]Which pic do you want estimating as I have seen the first few before so I am guessing they are your old ones. If its the bottom two I am afraid no-one can guess when you are fulling clothed with only a upper body shot of your arm flexed.[/QUOTE]
My bad but the top ones are my before and the bottoms ones are my progress as of now I removed the clothesd pics [url]https://m.imgur.com/gallery/OmO669d[/url]

What's my BF% and what is my genetic potential?
Do I have wide hips or am I just fat? If so, should I train obliques?
My goal is to cut down to 150 or 145

15-16%. No way of knowing genetic potential really so don't worry about it just keep pushing yourself at the gym and cut/ bulk depending on goals. Can't really tell if your hip structure is excessively wide I don't believe so and doesn't make any difference, you just have some fat on your hips its one of the last place men lose it along with your stomach.
You lose more fat your hip will be more noticeable and eventually you will see the divided between your obliques and hip. As for not training obliques I don't excessively train them but no harm in doing it they wont grow massive overnight and change your structure.

This is my first time replying on forums.
I have been working out for 1.5 years now, I'm 23, 6 feet tall and weigh at 171 lbs (78 kg)
my current pr are
bench - 154 lbs
squats - 170 lbs
deadlift - 242 lbs
the scale that i am using shows that i have around 23 percent body fat also I am cutting down but i do feel that i don't have a lot of muscle at first place.
(I wasnt able to post the pic but they are in the body space)

To start off with scales bf% are usually useless and your example is another show of how useless they are. You aren't 23% more likely 17% around maybe even 16%. You shouldn't be cutting you should be lean bulking IMHO you lack muscle not too much fat.
Use a proven training program (5x5, All pro, Fierce 5 etc see stickies on workout section) and follow that whilst aiming to add about 2lbs a month.

Thanks man. Are my shoulders considered broad or is there no way to tell right now cuz they're weak
-
I have been training upper body 2x a week and legs 2x a week. Cardio 2x a week. 1-2 rest days a week. Do you think I will see results soon? Also do I have a good body type for a goal of a ‘skinn ripped’ look? thanks

Photos are in my profile. Weight was 71.5kg and 5ft 7 tall. I used to be 96 kg at my heaviest. Been trying for years to lose that protruding stomach

They seem pretty broad as you have the V shape so I wouldn't worry. As for being weak focus on a progressive training program (see stickies) and add in some work outs that focus on strength such 5/3/1 program.

I would focus on a true progressive workout and not make one yourself I don't and don't see why anyone should (look at the workout stickies either Fierce 5 or All pro are my best for buck options). Focus on weights before cardio.
As for your goal of 'skinny ripped' its kinda a oxymoron, to be ripped you have to have muscle and being skinny means little muscle so not really. I would focus on building up your lbm through a lean bulk and then cut down later after a year of hard weight training. Use a proven workout (see workout stickies).

Around 16-17%. Men unfortunately store most fat on their stomachs. The only way to get rid of it is keep cutting, although you are at that stage where you could start thinking about lean bulking as if you gain more muscle the fat on your belly (which isnt that much IMHO) will seem less noticeable.
