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

Height: 5'7''
Weight:166-167
I'll post a pic of when I started and one from about a week ago since that is the most recent one I have. I have some loose skin. Not sure if the old pics would help or not. If the pics don't work, I have them on my profile.

^I'd say about 20%.

Okay, thanks for that. I've still got ways to go then for a bulk ;(

How much time between those pictures? I'm not an expert by any means, but you've been working hard...Good Job! I wouldn't think you're 20...maybe upper teens. What are your goals?

In sept. it'll make it 2 years exact. The first year though, I didn't really do any weight lifting and I thought that low carb was the answer. I didn't know chit about nutrition. Once it started to get into about a year or so, I started to weight lift. Thanks! I've been trying. My goals weight wise were to get down to 160, but since my bf being a bit higher, I'll prbly cut down to either 155 or 150, depending on how I look in the mirror.

Right on. I'm a beginner, so I have no place giving advice, but you look great...good work.

*I posted a thread specifically for this mistakenly cuz I didn't see this one, so I'ma re post here.

Hey,
I'm a guy who weighs 140 lbs and my height is 5'8".

I did a body fat caliper test and it resulted as 14.3% body fat (15% the second time). I did the 3 site method.

The problem is I very much doubt that number. In my opinion I'm way higher than 15%, but I'm new to the bodybuilding world, so I need assistance determining my body fat percentage.

I attached my most recent pictures. Thanks for the help.

Would love some guesses. Just added a photo to my progress photos with relaxed front, side and back view.

5'3 and 130 pounds.

Thanks man appreciate it.

No way, I'm 6ft and 82kg also...

Your abdomen/upper body looks incredibly similar to mine - Fairly lean but a bit of fat on lower stomach / sides. I'm guessing you're somewhere around 17-19%.

Slightly off topic but I wonder if you have the same problem as me. Stood up I look fine but, sat down, my lower stomach fat comes together and looks kinda unappealing.

Yes haha I do have that problem aswell kinda but I think it's just because there's still fat there. 3 months ago I was 98kg so lost a lot of Weight and plan to go down to around 76-77. I never work out just play football sometimes.

Hi, looking for estimates on my bf % please. I've been actively losing weight for around 8 months. Started out in September at 240 pounds and I'm now down to 160 as of today. I'm 5'10 and 19.
Still have a bit of fat around stomach area but I can see top 2 abs in the mirror if the lighting is good (if this makes any difference lol).

Would you recommend I continue losing weight until around 140/145 or start a bulk now? Thankyou

Sorry low posts so had to miss the h out of link.

so i posted some pics 2 weeks ago where i weighed 159 at 180 cm (approx. 5 11.) Again, i am 18 years old and i just wanted another estimate since i weighed about 156.4 this morning. So the pictures with the pink towel are from 2 weeks ago and all the other ones are new. am i lean enough to go on a long clean bulk or should i continue cutting? Thanks!

Height 5'10"
Weight 181
Age: 28

I started lifting 6 months ago. I did lift in high school and tend to put on muscle easily and consider myself a mesomorph. I get Inbody body scans done at my gym, you step on the machine and grab the handles ect. I went from 13.3% BF to 8% on a 6 week shred, up to 9,6% in a 12 week hypertrophy. The past six weeks I have been in a roughly 500 cal deficit, lifting heavy the 3 big lifts, maintaining my strength, and dropped from 186lbs to 181 pounds resulting in an "apparent" 7% current BF. I find it hard to believe, my abs aren't defined like I feel 7% would be, but maybe they just aren't developed enough? I honestly can't decide if I should keep cutting before going into a surplus or start now. Thank you for any feedback!

There's also a pic of when I was about 230 pounds last year for fun.

Bump for more opinions, thanks.

I've been away from the gym for like 2-3 years. Eating anything/everything and went from good shape 150lbs to bad shape 150lbs. Guide me please some small advice


I have been 150 pounds for 10 years, but i've lost a lot of mass. I am weak as a child. I just started lifting this week and jogging 2 miles. What is my body fat at the moment? I have saddle bags. you can see them forward on. Also, should I be cutting or bulking? Or just eating at a deficit and lifting/jogging anyway? I would like to get back in my prime, in the dog tag photo i am still 150lbs but I had no fat, and I was able to rep 225. I literally am lifting 8x145 tonight bench, and 8x145 squats. Thats how bad I am off. Its just sad. I've slacked for many years... Not sure how long it'll take to cut the fat and tone up.

It'll come back I hope.

Whats my fat and any suggestions at the same time? I am 5'8 150lbs currently, and I was 150lbs in the dog tag photo 7 years ago as well.

18 Years Old
6ft 1
159 lbs

Thanks

6ft 1 and 181lbs

What's my bf, couple of pics in different lighting, bf seems to fluctuate a lot dependant on time of day and type of lighting.

Warning: Disturbing images ahead ( one of the best examples of skinny fat and one of unfortunate genetics)

age: 32; ht = 5'8";wt = 132 lbs; waist = 34.5 " ; biceps not flexed = 10.5"

I guess my bf% to be around 28/29, I would love to know your opinions based on pics I provided below. I guess I did right thing by deciding to go on a deficit although many suggested me to bulk first.

Gonna do this in stages

Couldn't see the first picture. Looked around 16% in the second picture. I probably wouldn't cut anymore. You're not fat, and you don't appear to have anything to cut down to. Instead, I would lean bulk for 6 months or so and then cut.

Those handheld machines are not reliable at all. You look to be more like 12-13% bf to me. You could go either way. In the future, though, I would bulk for longer cycles. 12 weeks isn't a lot of time to build muscle. Instead, I would bulk for 6 months (probably at a slower rate to minimize fat gains) and then cut for 8-12 weeks before bulking again.

I'm guessing 8%. Life is miserable btw. I just entered all my goal info for the profile and it said I am ~4% BF. I feel kinda dead but not that much so.

Looks like 17-18%. I would recomp/cut slightly, e.g. aim for 2-4lbs weight loss per month. You should be lean enough for a bulk in a few months.

I think you're right. I would cut, but you don't have much room before you're underweight. I would lose 10lbs, slowly bulk for 6 months and then cut again. You'll have to repeat this process a few times.

So just eat clean and lift, should recomp pretty decent. is 17 hard to get down to 12 in all actuality? this is me not doing anything for like 5 years. Just hate being so weak and same weight just recomped from toned to, well. pure pudge. I thought recomp was only something new lifters could do. But i guess i am new again since ive had so much time off.

For the same reasons why a 5'9" professional bodybuilder can be 7% bf @ 245 pounds, but a sedentary 5'9" person can be 30% bf @ 190 pounds.

Well ideally a good idea of what my bf is.... Tthats what the sub is for, I can then use that to see how much progress I've made and gauge how long I potentially need to keep cutting before reaching my goal.

Since you're returning to lifting (vs. being a new lifter), it shouldn't be that hard for you. You should be back to form in a few months, IME.

Hey, everyone! To make a really long story short, I have completely changed my life. Between January 2016 and yesterday afternoon, I have lost nearly 102 pounds! I went from 300.4 to 198.6 in the span of 18 months. I did this entire lifestyle change on my own, and received a lot of misinformation along the way; as a result, strength training only recently (as of May 2017) became part of my daily regiment. I was focused so much on getting down to a "healthy" BMI number that I completely ignored what my BF% was.

What would you all estimate my BF% to be? I am 6'2", 198.6 pounds. Also, do you think that I could potentially lose this excess fat by next summer? Thank you in advance for the information!

EDIT: I'm not sure why that first picture is turned sideways! I certainly didn't take it that way.

Gonna bulk but whats my current bf? 5 10 and 120 pounds pics below

I can't seem to break this plateau/barrier. I feel like my body composition hasn't changed in a couple of years! Perhaps if I can start with a bf%, I can set some more concrete goals.

EDIT: I'm about 5'8.5", 180-185lbs

Probably about 10%. You need more muscle to get better definition. I'd lean bulk for the next year at a minimum (maybe 18 months).

I'd say 30%. You're just eating too much. Hit the weights hard and cut at least 30lbs. Then you'll be in a much better position to put on more muscle.

Hi

i've been cutting for 2 months now.

At first i was doing keto in a bigger deficit and right now i am maintaining my weight at around 2500cal/per day eating mostly fats and protein (and a lot of veggies) and carbs ONLY AFTER weight training.

My plan is to maintain this for a couple of months (maybe shreed down just a little bit with clen in a month or so,but will see) and then go on a lean bulk.

What do u guys think about bf,please opinion on this..thanks

BTW i am 177cm/75kg on this pic
