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

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1593182011]25% would be my estimate.

I would say your bulk has been a pretty good success you have gained 5lbs in 6 and a bit months which is pretty much on point for a female at 0.75-1lb a month. I would also say your bf% has gone down since your previous bf% estimate:-

As to what you should do. It depends on when summer is where you are. You currently look good with a nice structured female physique therefore I would think you would need around 3 months to cut to get sub 20% if you lost 1lb a week. Therefore I would work back from there, if you plan to be summer ready by June (I am guessing you are North American) then 3 months back either February or March to start cut.

That means I would personally carry on at a very small surplus (around 150 calories) or maintenance calories until then aiming to do a small recomp or gain around 2lbs between now and March.[/QUOTE]

Thank you very much for the thorough advice and feedback, it is much appreciated! Nice to get an objective look, I agree with it all, too. I'll continue on in maintenance with some surplus days. Looking forward to the cut results this spring!

Would appreciate some opinions.

M 5'11" 171 lbs what am I at? Bulk or keep cutting a little more? Strength has gone up just a bit since starting cut a few months ago.

[QUOTE=NoNodyFat;1593246911]Would appreciate some opinions.[/QUOTE]

Near 13% would need to see with your arms down.

18% would be close estimate. Personally cut a bit more probably to 160lb then bulk.

Can I get bodyfat estimate for before and after please, pictures in bodyspace. How long will it take to get down to 10-12% body fat and how much weight would I need to lose.

Before:- Around 30%

After:- 20-22%

I would say around 10kg would have you there.

Around 24-25%

Looking for an updated body fat estimate. Was previously suggested to be at 19-20% body at the peak of my bulk when I was around 90.4kg and was recommended to take about 14 weeks to cut down to around 77kg.

Been cutting for 7 weeks now after a maintenance phase. During this period I've dropped a total of 4.9kg at an average rate of 0.69kg per week and waist size has gone down by 10.7cm during this time.

Ultimately I'm wanting to get lean enough to able to see properly defined abs. So wanted to get a body fat estimate to see where I am sitting at currently, at half way into that 14 week cut to see if I need more weeks to cut or if I'm on track and should just keep things the same?

I am afraid to say it but I would believe that the previous pic was a tad under estimated on my behalf compared to these (no offence more of lighting)

[url]https://imgur.com/a/83RFCYc[/url]

Due to the darkness you seemed a lot leaner then I estimated. I would say you are around 21-22% here in your current pic. So in order for you to have abs it will take longer then 7 weeks. As for a number most likely close to if not less then 70kg.

Darn I'm going to be tiny by the end of this cut lol.

But no worries at all about the underestimation. I shall continue to take my photos from this current angle and lighting then and check back in a month or so. I appreciate your feed back and advice as always!

Been cutting since 11/9, curious to see what I'm estimated at currently.

5'7", 168lbs. 30" waist, 14.5" neck, 32" hips if that helps. Was 176 prior. Dr. says I'm carrying 3-5lbs of loose skin (used to be >300).


Front/back/side attached. Keep cutting?

Based on your previous request (170lbs) I said 13-14%:-

The lose of 2lbs puts you solid at 13%. As for cutting more you have the mass so completely up to you depends on your own goal.

I am 17 years old
5'5 and 125lbs (57kg)
I don't know what to do to. Cut down a little then go on a bulk. Or just continue bulking.
I have gained 7kg in about 2 months (had extreme hunger in an eating disorder recovery)

About 20%. At 17 I wouldn't bother with counting calories and eat to hunger.

I would stick around maintenance caloric intake which would be based on hunger cues and not getting stuffed. If you eat mainly nutritional food sources with a solid amount of protein and only a small amount of empty calories (80:20 is a decent ratio) you should be fine.

Based on your previous ED history I would seek further guidance from a trained professional if needed. And not get too hung up on the small details eat enough to maintain your hunger and weight whilst progressively overload on a balanced training program.

Thanks man, also I am currently undergoing TRT. As my levels were super low. I have 125mg does every 3 months. Would this help or do anything?

And would it be hard to progress at maintenance, I have been training off and on with an injury for about 9 months

Either way 15-18% doesn't really matter. My advice would be ensure you are not cutting. Either maintenance training or bulking the choice is yours and how long you have been weight training.

TRT may help level the field if your T-levels are below average but won't cause significant advantage above anyone around your age due to the elevated levels of testosterone during adolescent.

As for eating at maintenance, during adolescence you are generally primed to build muscle under nearly all conditions (except extreme caloric deficit) therefore its the best time to utilise this by ensuring you are eating enough. That said you don't need to monitor calories as its not advised for adolescents due to the complex stage your body is in. We just don't know how many calories your body needs during this stage of elevated hormones so trusting your hunger cues are best practice.

Hey peeps,

Can I get a body fat estimate based on the pic please?

I started training a little less than two years ago and I feel like the time has come for my first cut. Aiming for somewhere between 10-15% bodyfat, and would like to know where I'm starting from. According to the Navy method and the bathroom scale, I'm around 20-22% which seems about right to me.

(Sorry about the dirty mirror)

I've been training about 6 months I was 100kg now sitting at about 80kg

Body space.

6’1ish, 163ish lbs

About 7-8 months into strength training program now.

The first few months were spent in a deficit. Still flip flopping between idea of cutting vs bulking. I eat in a college cafeteria so it’s hard to count my calories. Lately I do my best to shoot slightly above maintenance but I eat a lot of unhealthy food.

Can’t figure out whether I’ve been progressing at a decent rate or moving slowly since I probably don’t accurately count my calories. I have some pics from June in my body space as well. I am about the same weight as I was in June. I’ve been down to 154 and have been as heavy as 168.

Thanks in advance.

If you guys could give me an estimate and some advice because I’m honestly not sure what I should do. Right now I’m going the gym 3 days a week, should I go more? Should I bulk or maintain? I’ve been going to the gym for 6 months. The first 2-3 months I was gaining too fast in weight (but I was making great lift progress) but I was getting chubby so I deicded to maintain the past 3 months. I’ve basicaly stalled in a few of my lifts. I want to get rid of that skinny fat look of skinny arms and loose chest.

Hello, may I get an estimate ? Flexed !! 183 cm, 76 kg atm

[QUOTE=Leaky8;1593748831]I've been training about 6 months I was 100kg now sitting at about 80kg[/QUOTE]

At 6ft and 80kg it is time to start building on an effective training program. What are your major lifts like squat, bench and deadlift 1rm or estimate.

Cutting too much longer will just make you look skinny.

How much strength increase has occurred during those 6 months?

Yep I agree on the bf% and you seem to have adequate muscle mass to cut down to that range so aim for 15% then review how lean you feel when you get there.

15-16%. You need to be bulking at 6ft 1. I would advise bulking at a rate of around 1.5-2lbs a month and aiming to get around 180lbs before even considering cutting.

Geez, sensitive much? I don't think anyone asked for your opinion on my post either. I don't spend all that much time here, so I'm not constantly giving reps around like they are participation trophies. Therefore I can't rep those who are more deserving of it, like the poster who answered my inquiry, because I've repped him recently.
