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

[QUOTE=cavab01;1584692161]Hello guys,
Please estimate my bf percentage: imgur com/a/MgwcmEY (cant post a link yet)

Age: 26
Height: 189 cm
Weight: 111kg

Cant loss any more weight, even though im eating below the calorie deficit. Should i go for bulking? Ive been in cutting period for long time, did some great results (the best was from 120kg to 87 with terrible diet, which turned out bad for my body, 5 y ago). Now im struggling for the past couple years to get below 100kg and 12-14% bf, im swinging in the range of 118-108kg depends on bulking/cut period.

Any tips/suggestions or help would be appreaciated.[/QUOTE]

Around 18%BF.

I'd say try harder cutting by more activity rather than going too low on calories... So a bit of both maybe. I assume that's where you went wrong earlier. Determination and patience will do it.

About 22%BF.

[QUOTE=Tucane;1584721721]About 22%BF.[/QUOTE]

That’s exactly what my scale says - 22.2%

how is mine guys? pics in bodyspace.

also wana know whether i'm a mesomorph or endomorph??

I would like to know my BF% in your opinion thanks!

Hi all, I’m 22, 5’10’ and 169 pounds. I’ve recently dropped 44 pounds over 4 months and started lifting for about a month. I am wondering what my bodyfat percentage is at my current weight. And what body fat percentage would I be once I reach my goal of 154 pounds? I plan to get to this weight within 8 weeks and lift 3-4 times a week, I also eat about 200g of protein a day, and eating 1500 calories. Would I be kind lean once I am 154 pounds?

You're about 21%BF and neither ****totype, simply a human being that needs to build more muscle^^

Looks to be about 10%BF.

Around 30%BF.

Since you have been lifting for a month only, you won't be lean at 154 pounds... it will take time to build enough muscle to get that kind of results.

Just, eat protein and lift to progress as much as possible in the gym.

In between 11-12%BF.

Pics in body space

5ft 9inches @ 168lbs
Skinny fat and currently in a cut@ 1650 cals a day.

Please estimate my body fat.

Lost 25lbs in the past few months with a few breaks in between.

Confused if I should

A) continue cutting @ 1650 and continue lifting (workout suck at 1650 a day)
B) Continue cutting @ 1950 a day (workouts are awesome and I’m not as hungry and miserable)
C) eat maintenance (2300 cals) or slightly over maintenance (2450 cals) to build enough muscle to cut to?

What do you think? A, B or C? I would feel more comfortable not having as much fat on my but I can live with this much fat. Not more.

Forgot to mention I really am not comfortable with idea of getting any more skinnier neither do i wish to get any more visible fat. I really wish to look stronger and bigger and not get fatter at the same time...what’s the best approach to reach my goals?

Thank you for your help! This is an awesome forum!

Around 24%BF.

I'd advice against anything that make your workouts suck, as those are key to ultimately getting what you want. Progressing in lifts should be priority #1 so around 2000kcal where you can perform while still losing some fat sounds golden. Even if weight loss stalls, make sure to lift at 100% effort and rather up your calories slightly to meet that goal if neccessary.

Thank you for your response. I was hoping the answer would be at or under 20% but was scared it’ll be over 20% at the same time. ������ I must have started this journey at above 30%. I was thinking I was at 28% when I started many months ago. This gives me a clearer path to reach my goals. So thank you!!!

I do have a two questions. Please bear with me.

What really confusing me is the strong recommendation I see everywhere of getting 15% or under body fat before starting to thinking about muscle gain since at high body fat percentages muscle gain/protien synthesis is not optimal.

BUT I also know if I were to get down to 15% body fat at my current muscle mass, I’d be left with almost nothing...I’d be like a twig. Haha

QUESTION 1: So...I should forget about 15% and lower body fat at this point and just lift - correct? (Reason I’m re-asking what you’ve already answered is because I’m worried that eating at 2000 cals and lifting would mean recomp and I see so many sites/people recommend against recomping since it’s not optimal and much slower than cut and bulk...my goal is to change my body/physique in the most optimal way without wasting time)

Just FYI - starting immediately, I will be following your advice of 2000 cals and heavy lifting.

Question 2: I am following Jeremy ethier’s workout A and B. Should I just switch to Fierce 5 or stick with Jeremy’s workouts? It’s off of YouTube. Jeremy’s workout is very similar but it calls for a lot more sets and reps (e.g. he calls for 4x8 on squats and deadlifts VS fierce 5 is 3x5)

Thank you so much for reading through my rants and helping me.

I’m myself a newbie. You got some awesome gains!!. Wondering how long have you been lifting?

Thanks about 3 years consistent most of that time spent in a surplus 😀

If 2300 is maintenance (recomp), then 2000 would be a slow cut... which in my opinion would be the best approach given you do have some excess bf and you stated that workouts were great on those calories:-)

I can't imagine that wasting time on not progressing would be of any benefit (like doing a faster cut on low energy) so make sure you do. Wouldn't recommend surplus calories before you need them to progress, otherwise you'd gain fat for no good reason.

As for programs, if you are progressing within your current one, I see no reason to change it. If you feel it's no good, make the change.

Key words: Lifting progress.

Good size! Even though you have less ab definition it's safe to say you're aroynd 13%BF for LBM reasons and due to your back being lean.... assuming legs are up to par.

6'0 19yr/old
left picture is 171lbs, right picture is 154lbs
Some background info: been lifting for about 3 years now, always ate pretty healthy but really been watching what I eat for past 7 months or so

I’m 19, 6’0 and cut for a little over 2 months, I did a 2,000 cal diet and tracked everything I ate, everyday, consistently

Macros on the cut were 180g protein, 200g carb, 50g fat and it worked pretty well, I did a body scan at the end and said I was 8.7%bf, not sure how accurate it was but seems somewhat close

I felt pretty small and lost more weight than I was hoping but got the look I wanted. Basically, every time I stop tracking my macros but still eat very healthy and clean (rice, broccoli, chicken, oats) pretty much lots of veggies, lean protein, complex carbs

regardless, I always end up looking like my starting picture. My intake around 2500cal a day so I’m not overeating or anything. My stomach, mainly the lower part, always starts to puff out and makes my obliques/love handles just stick out and I find it so frustrating! I grind my ass off but just can’t maintain a cut/shredded look without looking anorexic.

I’ve consistently worked out around 4-5x/week and am pretty active. Any tips or recommendations that you’ve found helpful? Not looking for sarcastic responses please

Thank you, thank you!! I’ll be back on this thread in a couple months and let myself get assessed a second time.

I have been lurking around the forum for several months. Made an account last month and finally posted on here. I wish I had done this sooner.

Again, thanks! (Won’t let me rep you a second time - not that you need it I know but just letting you know I tried)

Not too far from, I'd say you're 10%BF.

IMO you should spend much more time bulking and caring less about maintaining a shredded state. It's really hard to build significant amounts of muscle at maintenance @ low bf%, you'd have to push yourself beyond the limits, trust me on this.

The recommended approach would be, bulk slowly up to 15%BF, cut down to 10%BF... rinse and repeat. Keep up high amounts of activity for better nutrient partioning and don't go overboard on fats (especially saturated) for a longer bulk.

For a reference, I have uploaded two “before pics”. What fat percentage do you reckon it is please?
5 ft 9 inches at 185lbs

And do you see any improvement in muscle? Fat is less, I know but any muscle improvement? I started fat loss in November 2018 but started lifting weights in May 2019.

Thank you

Your starting point was about 30%BF.

Small improvements in muscle are noticable, which is expected given the timeframe, but also due to BF%. The significant visible differences are further down the road.

Been lifting since September this year but started lifting seriously in December when i found out that you have to have a calori surplus to build muscle, before that from September to December i eat below my maintenance and thought protein is all that matters for muscles. From September i was 68.5kg when started lifting and was 72.5kg in December. After i started eating more the 3000 kcal a day i started to gain weight much faster. By 20 February i was 78kg. April i was 83kg, May 85kg. In the summer i got diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and didn't go to the gym this summer as frequently because of vacations and moving here and there and from May when i was 85 till now July i am currently 82kg. Tbh i don't really now what is my maintenance calories, i just ate atleast 3000 calories everyday from December and i got plenty of weight. On the calculator on this site it said i need 3000 calories for a lean bulk. So except guessing my bf percentage, can you please tell if 3000 is correct for me, or too much or too little, im really unsure about it even tho i have gained weight

About 22%BF.

It seems as 3000 kcal is a bit too much considering the pace of your weight gain. Try eating 500 kcal less first and see if you can progress in the gym on that. Most importantly, lifting progress is key for your muscle gains. Try working harder first, if it doesn't produce results despite 100% effort, then add 300 kcal.
