[QUOTE=Jake82D;1571345831]I've been bumbling around with my first 10 months of weight training and cutting. I think I'm getting close to where I want to be to start a lean bulk, but wanted a few other opinions.
My pictures are in the progress pictures of my bodyspace. They are the ones from this month (Jan 2019).
I'm 36 years old, 5' 10'', and currently averaging between 162-165 lbs.
As a side note, this is the first time in my life I have ever been able to see my abs and I am excited to see what I can do from here.
Any estimate will be appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Around 12% would be my estimate maybe a tad lower. Well done enjoy your lean bulk.

Not 12% imo more like 13 or 14% either way solid work, keep it up.

Hey thanks! I'm pretty excited about the progress I've made...definitely longer than I first thought but very satisfying. I will probably cut for about three more weeks then move into a lean bulk even if I'm 13-14%. Though it has taken so long to get here I don't know what to do with all the extra calories that will be available.
Thanks again!

Thanks again![/QUOTE] I say to stick it out for another 4 or 5 weeks and get to that 11% mark, this way when you do bulk you will be able to see the progress a lot better and you wont have as long to cut. either way keep at it brother

How would you recommend I go about cutting? Should I take an aggressive approach or a slower approach (1lb a week).

at 30% you should be fine at even a slight calorie deficit, count calories. Dont be afraid to drop 2-3lbs a week for the first 3 weeks, after that pull it back down to 2lbs a week just make sure you get a lot of you calories from lean meats and protein to keep your metabolism from crashing, up the cardio to 10k steps a day minimum, have the weights 3-4 x a week, your body will need more rest. Im in the middle of my cut and I started of at a similar bf% as you and if I have learnt anything is its to make sure you get your protein intake down, u can have some steaks act the firest few weeks but after they will contain to many calories so you will need to change to chicken breast and brocolli ect, Either way good luck.

If relaxed I would have you at 9% if flexed about 10%. Good lbm and great leanness

You look like you are in a relaxed state so around 14%ish (maybe lower as the pic is a tad difficult to get a whole estimate but 14% is close) as I can see the outline and some ab definition. Look good not much more to cut in my opinion before a good solid bulking phase.

I'm 19, height is 6'0 and I weigh 69 kg's (152 pounds). I'm just starting out on getting fit so you can see I have barely any muscle on my body. Would be nice to get a good estimate so I know what I'm starting with. Thanks

About 13-14% but as you said you have little lbm so your core wont be noticeable. Time to build muscle, if you unsure how read the stickies on the nutritional and workout section.
[QUOTE=niker99;1571560201]any idea how much i am? i posted above u a few hours ago[/QUOTE]
Can't really tell without a frontal pic very well as most fat storage on men is around the waist. However I would judge near the 19-20% as I can't see any core however post a relaxed front picture and I will have another look.
