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

[QUOTE=Tucane;1581297791]In at 14%BF and looking solid. I'd say it's a preference call. Ask yourself the question... do I want to cut further or do I want to build mass?

For my opinion, cut to 12%BF, maintain over summer if you care about beach appearance and then bulk slowly.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot! Repped!

[QUOTE=Tucane;1581121011]Looks about 20%BF. Keep up the cutting until you feel done with it. Progress in lifting is #1 priority.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Tucane, would it be worth adding in some cardio as well to speed up the weight lose a bit along with lifting or best to just stick to a proven work out?

Be sensible about the cardio and don't do stuff that's too taxing like HIIT, else you might increase hunger to the point where it's not worth it. Taking additional sceduled backpack-walks is good imo.

About 23%BF.

[QUOTE=BHFK;1581314071]Hey, i’m sorry if this is a lot to ask for but could you estimate how much bodyfat I lost over my 12 week cut

[url]https://imgur.com/a/LEF4lSz[/url]

I think i went from ~ 20% to ~13%

Anyways, I have a vacation coming up in 24 days. I would love to be as lean as possible for that, So i’m thinking about cutting hard for the next 24 days with psmf. hopefully with that I could get under 10%[/QUOTE]

Looking through the pics I'd say you were lower than 20% to begin with... maybe 18%BF or so. At the leanest 13%BF.

PSFM will definetly work as fat loss is unavoidable doing so. I'd recommend not going straight to 9%BF using psfm, but stop at ~10% and stall for a few days. Then you could do a second round at desired (slightly slower) pace. Mostly because you'll be better at maintaining and enjoying your low BF% during your vacation if you don't crash into it.

Hey! Starting cutting weight awhile back and started at 183lbs. I have cut down to 159lbs and was wondering what you guys think my bodyfat percentage would be. I am approximately 165 cm tall. I have added the photos to my gallery.

Hello everyone. M/32/68"/142 lbs/8.9% BF - I was hoping I could ask for your help/suggestions with my lack of progress and conflicting body fat information. I'm getting frustrated with my inability to achieve the muscle definition I've been seeking. I've been consistent in my exercise routine for 2.5 years with the goal of losing weight, decreasing body fat, and gaining muscle definition. Since 2016, I have lost 35 lbs. I stand at 68" and am now at 142 lbs with a body fat of 8.9% according to a BodPod test I got done with a Registered Dietitian. My two home scales measure BF at 11.9% and 16.1% and weights of 142 and 143 lbs consistently. My weight and body fat are supposedly at an ideal place for me right now, but I'm confused about the physical results. I'd like to gain mass, and I think that at the body fat readings I'm seeing, I should be showing abdominal muscles. This is simply what I've learned from trainers in the past - lower BF% = abs. Is this a flawed goal/way of thinking? Can anyone provide any feedback that may lead me in the direction of ab formation/general body definition.

Dietary Intake Routine:

1700-2000 kcals on average

higher protein in general (just dietary preference)

mostly lean meats, dairy, veggies, little fruits, whole grains

Takeout 3-4x/wk (usually a Subway turkey sandwich on wheat and baked chips)

Fluid: ~18 oz water daily, 1-2 glasses 2% chocolate milk daily, ~30-50 oz Diet Coke daily

alcohol: 1-2x/wk ~7 servings hard liquor (whiskey) or 2 servings red wine (I recognize this might be a big problem)

Physical Activity Routine:

-5-6 hrs/wk strength training

(Includes back/chest/legs 2x/wk each)

I see a trainer for 2 hrs as part of this routine

-4 hrs/wk Jiu Jitsu

-5k running every other week

Hope these are helpful: ( I can't post image links because I don't have 50 post yet, but here are addresses)

To attain the muscle definition you want, you are going to have to add some more size to your frame. With the stats you have given, I would guess that you are exercising atleast 6 times a week especially with jiu jitsu 4 hours a week. Just by putting this into a TDEE calculator your maintenance caloric intake comes up to 2700 calories a day. To gain size I would recommend you track your caloric intake per day accurately, while also adding around 300-500 calories to your maintenance caloric intake. Goodluck on your journey and hope I helped!

1.80m ~ 81kg

What is my BF %? Also, I feel like I should keep on caloric deficit cause I think I still have plenty of fat, anyone can tell me how much more I should/need lose to have more a flat stomach and look more good? Thanks!

Thanks Tucane, i walk every night with the dog around 2/3 miles i will keep this up and monitor, hunger hasnt been too bad and lost 2 stones so far, is it ok to cut down to about 15% and then start bulking? i am not lifting at the moment

About 30%BF.

In at 13%BF.

Somewhere around 20%. Now you need to focus on lifting progress, initial strength gain and hypertrophy to build mass. Calories slightly lower than maintenance and strat lifting intensely asap.

Keep it up! Also you should lift or you'll be delaying your physique progress. Good recomp gains are to be made all the way down to 15%BF.

[QUOTE=Tucane;1581397501]About 30%BF.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the reply! Is it possible to figure out at what weight I would be around 25% bodyfat? Or would I just have to keep cutting to find out?

That depends on how much your current weight is and if you are adding more Muscle. Muscle weights more than fat. You can cut weight to try to get there, but it is better to build some muscle at the same time.

Can you estimate my bf percentage?

I'd say around 12%BF, good mass aswell!

No not with any kind of accuracy (there are online calculators that guesstimate), the best way to find out is just to keep at it.

Around 25%BF.

Age: 24
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 171
Body Fat: 20% (personal scale) 14% (pharmacy machine)

I'm curious to know what body fat results y'all think is more accurate.

My personal scale at home gives me 20% and the pharmacy machine gives me 14%, both give me the same weight.

My scale at home is an omrom fat loss scale and the pharmacy machine is called "your wellness station".

It's not very important to me, but it'd be nice to know which is more accurate! Thanks y'all.

Edit: Photos are in the morning and non flexing.

You can't trust either scale for consistent readings, but to answer your question; the pharmacy one seemed to be closer to the truth this time... might be some luck involved too. My homescale gives me 21%BF at 90kg regardless of bodycomposition, so it's complete crap in that regard.

You have quite a lean upper ab region and you store most of your fat in the lower torso. I'd say an average of ~15%BF.

[QUOTE=Bertyboi;1581472971]Age: 23

I'm currently 8 weeks into a cut, an estimate of current body fat would be appreciated.

Is 13-14% body fat achievable in 5 weeks?

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

Looks to be ~22%BF. It will most likely take longer, be prepared for the long run and don't try to rush it to avoid setbacks.

Thanks for the reply!

How long do you think it'd take to reach 10% bf considering I'm cutting cals, weight lifting + doing abs & cardio?

Much appreciated.

Loose skin man here again for another estimate! Slowly upping my calories now until I reach 10% for a smooth transition into my first bulk.

@Tucane, Hey buddy, hope you're doing good. You last estimated me at around 12-13% around a month ago when I was 3lbs higher, but I didn't really include my legs very well in the picture and they seem to carry most of my remaining bodyfat. My legs are also the strongest part of my body by a country mile too though, just something to bare in mind.

Could I get an estimate when you get a chance? Thanks!
