Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of my cutting and I want to have an estimate of my body fat. I think I am around 12%.
The majority of my fat is on the lower abs and lower chest.
Next week I plan to eat at maintenance and then 3 more weeks until finish my cut.
The photos are the last 3 in modyspace.

[QUOTE=GingeyBreadDev;1578626911]Age: 24
Height: 6'0

I'm finally under 200lbs, currently sitting at 199lbs as of yesterday morning, going away in July and want to lose as much as possible by then without sacrificing muscle, I expect to be around 189/190 by then as I am taking my weight loss slow and steady at 1lb a week.
Feeling really good about my progress and just want to check how I am doing, I won't post my last estimation as I want people to guess straight from what they see, unless they have estimated me before.[/QUOTE]
Around 20% maybe 19%

Yep 12% would be my guess as well. You look good a lean and near enough ready for bulk. So your plan is fine you may get to 11% before a long solid bulk.

Also weight train choose a decent program (see workout section for advice)
As for medicines no idea what you are going on about but no tablet will make you lose fat, less calories do that.
Height 5’9
Weight 165
Could anyone estimate my body fat percentage? Very hard to tell with all my loose skin, just went from 220 - 165, plan to cut to 160 then lean bulk, been working out for the past 4 months, 4-6 days a week, worked out 2 years prior before i put on all the weight, I have a bicep vein currently, can see the outline of my abs, and have striations in my shoulders when flexing or working out, i’m guessing I just don’t have enough LMB currently. Thank you in advance

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1578500861]14% nearly 13%. You can see the difference is coming even from 9 days ago.
Although the change is small you can see a bit of a difference mainly in your core outline and your serratus anterior is becoming more defined.
So yep around 72kg bracket will probably have you close (depends on your water weight and glycogen stores).[/QUOTE]
Thanks man. Guess I just have to continue dieting and working hard. 3-4 kg more should get me there.
Btw, how often would you recommend to reduce calories (or increase exercise) during a cut? I am on week 14 right now, and did only reduce calories from 2000 to 1900 kcals around week 8. It seems that I am still losing weight on this amount of calories, so I'm not thinking to reduce my calories for now. It's just confusing me that sometimes you hear people reducing cals by 4-500 cals from the start to the end of a cut.
Can I get an estimate? All taken in the morning, first 2 relaxed and second 2 flexed. I'm 5'9 and 140 lbs. Conflicted cause I just started bulking 2 months ago and still seeing newbie gains, but also wanna look shredded for beach season :P Thanks!
Hi, I'm 5'11, 85.3 kg after losing 13 kgs in the last 16 weeks through a caloric deficit & busting my a** in the gym. So, pls let me know what you think about my bf% now?
The pics are in my bodyspace under progress photos- didn't know how to paste them here. All pics are of today's. Some flexed others relaxed.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi, I would really appreciate an estimate on my body fat %. I'm 6'0" 229.5lbs, Pictures are in my bodyspace. Taken in the morning and not flexed. Couldn't figure out how to flex and hold the phone without dropping it.
I apologize for the poor quality. I'll have to check the compression and quality settings on my camera app.
Thank you in advance.

Nope don't bother dropping calories if you are still losing weight, best to eat as many calories that keep you losing weight. Generally some people need to reduce calories more as their NEAT drops quickly during cutting I guess yours is more resistant (some people are). Also some people drop 100 calories for every 10lbs they lose this again is to stop stalls but as you are still losing weight really no need.

12-13% you should carry on bulking just take it slower during the summer months aiming for 1-1.5lbs a month if you want to keep definition.

22-23%
[QUOTE=westbastard;1578804131]Can I get an estimate on this? That metal body fat scale thing that you hold onto measure your body fat is telling me 25%, but I feel like that's wrong. Been on a cut for a month. Am I in denial
190lbs, 5'8ft (86,5kg, 178cm)[/QUOTE]
If you are 17 you shouldn't be cutting but eating nutritional food and exercising. Around the 23% would be my guess but doesn't matter progress on a decent weight training program and you will benefit from gaining more muscle.
Hi guys, can I get an estimate please.
Pics are in my body space.
I'm 5ft 11in and weigh 179lbs
Thanks in advance
5’9 150lbs
Beginner.
Pictures is in my space
Thanks in advance
Stats - 5ft 6, currently 152- 154lb.
Lost 98lb and decided to start to try to gain muscle. I have some lose skin on my lower stomach and lower chest. Am doing fierce 5 and my lifts are progressing
I have added some pictures to my body space. One from mid Jan before starting to bulk. On roughly 2 months ago and one up to date pic.
How am I getting on? Am I progressing well?
Am in 2 minds on what I should be doing so was hoping for some opinions please!
Keep bulking or should I cut for a bit? Thanks in advance.
[QUOTE=westbastard;1578815401]I'm 18 in 3 months. Should I not try to cut and just eat whatever I can? It's not even that calorically intense, I just try to pack in a lot of protein. tons of chicken. Never feel hungry[/QUOTE]
Its not a set stone thing that turning 18 you can legally do it its just your hormones are primed to build muscle so cutting is limiting these effects. The problem with counting calories in general is that you can develop a unhealthy relationship with food and this has been found more in under 18's then any other age group, you may limit growth by restricting food sources such as carbs and fats which are essential when growing and hormonal changes of puberty.
If you feel you are too fat then just eat three meals a day consisting of lean meats, veg, fruit, wholegrains, unprocessed foods etc and then eat by hunger simply don't eat high processed foods and empty calories. Combined that with a decent weight training program and you will reap the most benefits as when you are below 18 (maybe even up to 21) your hormones are able to do a form of recomp just because your testosterone levels are at their highest. Therefore gain muscle and lose weight.

17% carry on bulking for longer. If you think you are gaining too much weight eat a smaller calorie surplus of around 200 calories over TDEE maintenance.

Hey everyone,
Any way someone could take a look at the picture I've got in my gallery and let me know their thoughts? I'm 5'6 and a half and weigh just under 130, BF% estimated at 12.1% after taking measurements in the morning. Apologies for only having one picture shown, can add another one later on if necessary...
Thank you to anyone going through the thread who can take some time out to offer their thoughts.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 150 lbs.
To be honest, I haven't been to the gym in like 7 months and I rarely exercise. Just don't know where to start. I still have a problem with chest fat.

I would say 13% so near enough.

15-16%. You need to lean bulk by adding about 2lbs a month consuming 200-300 calories above TDEE maintenance.

And make sure you follow well designed workout plan. I think Starting Strength, StrongLifts, Fierce 5 novice or Allpro would be a good choices.
Hi, I'm looking for a BF% estimate on my before and after in my profile progress photos,
Height 175cm / 5'9"
Age 43
Weight before 74kg / 163 Weight Now 67.5kg / 149
My electronic scales tell me I was 22% before and now tell me 16% seems fairly close to the mark, but would like a second opinion :)
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like some pretty accurate scales but I say you were
Before:- 20%
After:- 15%
So close enough.

Took 2 sets of pics in different lighting, tried to relax for a more accurate representation in the 2nd lot but may just look like i'm slouching.
Currently in a 1000+ kcal a day deficit
Eager to get to 10-15% so i can start bulking again!
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
I'm about five weeks into my cut (154.5ish lbs down to about 148.5ish lbs now), 5' 9. Was originally just gonna do a mini cut to shed excess bodyfat before continuing my bulk but I decided to extend it a bit longer because I was seeing good results. What percent would you say I'm at, and do you think 3 weeks is reasonable for the remaining lower ab fat to clear out?
Thanks!

Around 13-14%. No I would say not I am afraid generally losing lower fat will be around 9-10%.
