[QUOTE=AdamWW;1619241201]Just for fun...
Been 'gaining' for about 6 months... up around 9-10lb.
My guess is 9-10%
[/QUOTE]
Assuming that those pictures were taken unflexed and with zero pump, I'd say still sub 10% (8.5-9%) ATM.

No pump, but a 'normal' flex.

Then maybe 9-10% depending upon the day, hydration levels, etc. (which is basically a normal daily deviation)
Side note: your activity level must be fairly above average. At 6' tall and 158-160# (depending on the day) If I were to eat 3200 cal/day I'd be adding 1.5 pounds per week not 1.5 pounds per month.

It's fairly high... I usually do a 60min light/moderate stationary bike session in the morning, I lift weights for 60-70min 4 days a week, and on average I walk about 6-7 miles a day.
However, I have a very high 'NEAT' response to surplus calories... I fidget a lot, etc, even when overfeeding, so the presumed surplus always ends up being less than expected.
I can seemingly maintain weight eating between 2900-3100 calories because within that range, the excess just gets burned off unconsciously.

It's time. Injured shoulder so it seems like it's cardio time, could use it anyways. Wedding in about 7 months also, extra motivation.
5'10" (3/4)

You look just under 10% IMO
(Although I'm no expert)
The vein on the lower abs looks 👌 🔥

Hah thanks. I just try not to snag it on all the lady's jewelry.
Kidding ;o)
I've got a long way to go... I'm looking to gain about 40lb over the next couple years... im still quite small, but because I waxed and waned over the years, I have a lot of muscle memory from past times where I bulked up to a much better size... so the shape of my muscles maintained quite a bit..
That's probably why lean bulking is a bit easier right now.. muscle memory helps a lot.

Lol so funny you mention this because as I got leaner. I got more veins on my abs. Was 1 then 2 then 3 now 4 so I think it's cool to use that as a measure for fat gain or loss lol

[QUOTE=66jzmstr;1619210101]Hello!
I started my cut a week ago, and I've got a photo from Day 1: [U][B][url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=179077181[/url][/B] [/U]
Any estimates would be much appreciated - here or there. (6'1", 218lbs, 42 years)
Props to my fellow Washingtonians in here, too. (Go Hawks!)[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Junsuiakai;1619215941]I'm going to say around 17%, it seems most guys are hovering around 17% when they first start out.. You hold a good amount of fat in your chest, lucky sob.[/QUOTE]
I'd actually put him up around 20-21%, he's carrying a good amount of fat on his torso and the shoulder cap to bicep definition/separation is not very apparent.

I was just about to ask about your activity level when I saw this. Was wondering how you had such a high TDEE. You're definitely a rare breed if you're able to maintain that year round; thats pretty incredible.
-
[QUOTE=Junsuiakai;1619279371]I would guess 14% cause I see abs and slight obliques and you start to lose the soft look[/QUOTE]
I recommend you lean bulk cause I see no point trying to get to 10% without any muscle mass

Hopefully coming to the end of my first cut, having dropped 12 pounds in the last 8 weeks. I know I want to be in an almost lean state before bulking (10-12% fat) but I don't have a clue where I would be right now.

Looking great man, around 13%.

[QUOTE=xsquid99;1619647501]Looking great man, around 13%.[/QUOTE]
Cheers buddy! I feel almost there just by looking at myself, but I was curious to see what my estimated body fat may be .. 13% isn't bad at all. Might just give it a few more weeks cutting (2-3 weeks) and decide then.

[QUOTE=xsquid99;1619647501]Looking great man, around 13%.[/QUOTE]
I'd agree with this.

Looking good. You could cut for another month and see where you end up but becareful of cutting too low.
I learned the hard way of the thin line of being great to feeling like crap.

Thanks man. Yeah maybe a month cutting a few more % of fat, probably would take a month with a manageable deficit each day. I'm happy out with the progress so far but I am on the verge of feeling too skinny even though I'm just leaning out.
I will post another set of photos in one month and hopefully will have completed my cut by then. :)

Body fat guess?
Hey guys, this is my first post ever.
Started 2 month ago.
Pictures are in my profile (they are from 1st oct 2020).
Height: just over 6ft (1m84)
Weight at the time of pics: 238-240lbs (108kg)
Age: 26
I had lost about 22lbs (10kg) at the time of pic already in 2 months.
Any guess is welcome thanks,
Personally I think 29-32% or more?
Also do you think I got gyno?? :(
My chest feels soft when I touch it, but got bit of muscle nowadays, so I have no idea.

Hey thanks bro for the estimate,
Do you have any guess as to if it looks like I got gyno? I’m a hair away from actually going to a doctor to get it checked, but I feel like I’m being paranoid.
Btw, where is the rep or thank you button for your post? I’m on a phone.

You need to see a doctor. Nobody will diagnose you here.

What is my bodyfat ? I have 181cm and 88kg.

A little help, please?
Ive been dieting for just about a year. Went from 290-191 currently. Having a rough time estimating my bf%. My best guess would be 22% but I may be a little biases. Can I have a second opinion?
Pics will be in profile, due to not having enough posts.

18%
EDIT: Perhaps more as the lighting looks pretty favourable there
