been a few months, where am i at now?
Hey guys.
I've been cutting for a couple months and I would like to hear your estimates about my bodyfat %.
I have 10 pictures so I'll post a link to my IMGUR page so you can see them all. [B][url]http://myselfmr.imgur.com/all/[/url][/B]
Thank you so much!
PS: The small thumbnails may say that the image is not available, but you just need to click on them to see the picture. I don't know why this happens.
Estimated BF% I've had a guess myself, how accurate do you think this is?
I'm 28, 176lb, 5ft7
[QUOTE=scerpi;1505646271]I'd appreciate an estimate on bodyfat %.

Eventual goal weight is 180lbs-185lbs.
Ok... Looks like I can't post links yet. So I removed the 'img" tags. Hope you can still navigate to them.
Thanks for your help.[/QUOTE]
Ok... Attaching images.
Thanks again for any input. I'd like to guess somewhere below 20%, it's hard to judge since it's me.
Curious to hear your guys opinions on my bf%. I'm guessing 11-12%?

Could someone give me an estimate please? I seem to have reasonably low subcutaneous fat, but think I must have a higher than normal visceral fat, so this makes it a bit more difficult to judge.

[QUOTE=txfireman2004;1505650031]I've been cutting for 4 months now. I'm down 35#. My end goal is to get to 10% bodyfat then begin a clean bulk. However, i dont exactly know my bodyfat percentage. Currently i'm 31 years old 6ft tall and 173#. My waist is 32.5" at the navel. According to an average of my measurements (pollock 3 pt caliper, navy method, and bodyfat scale) im currently around 13%. Judging from the mirror i'd have to agree. I have a slight hint of abs, some visible striations in my upper body, and decent veinage. Today i got a hydro-static measurement done and according to that im 5.7% bodyfat!!!!! Supposedly it's the "gold standard". I'm pretty sure that it's not accurate, but im worried maybe i am sub 10% and im just scrawny? Could it be that i just have hardly any muscle? I consider myself average at least strength wise(330 squat, 225 bench,350dead). I'm currently at 2000cal with a macros of 35%p/40%c/25%f. I do low intensity cardio 2-3 weekly and i am strictly following a ever other day HST strength program to preserve muscle mass while cutting. My profile and last pic in bodyspace is what i currently look like. Do you guys think that i'm right with my bodyfat estimates in the 13% range or am i sub 10% with hardly any muscle mass? I really really wanted abs before i started my bulk, but maybe i dont have enough muscle for them to show???? Help!!!![/QUOTE]
Little odd. Are you tensing at all?
Maybe hit your abs harder, more exercises, and with weights. My theory is despite your work on them it hasn't been enough. You're actually quite leans at somewhere between 13-14% maybe less.

Yep that is hard to judge. You have an atypical fat distribution, I think approx 18 to 19%.

Oh I just saw, apparently it links to the one picture of my back. I will try to link the album. Or seperate photos. [url]https://myselfmr.imgur.com/all/[/url] This link should give you the album first, but I reloaded the page and it gives all, but I will post all the links here.

[QUOTE=maxroegiest;1505855571]There are 10 photos, how can you not tell?[/QUOTE]
I could only see 1 but now I've had a look at all of them, looks to be approx. 18% give or take 1%.
[QUOTE=Tigerzen;1505863361]I could only see 1 but now I've had a look at all of them, looks to be approx. 18% give or take 1%.[/QUOTE]
How is that even possible? The last time I posted here was about 1.5 months ago and you and someone else said approx. 16%.
I have lost almost 1.5kg in that time, I think I look better in the mirror than before. I am even a little stronger somehow.
I thought I would be around 14% or something.

Firstly, it was not me that said you were 16%, I think you were a little higher. I don't see the sort of ab definition that someone who is 14% usually has. Remember these are estimates, others are welcome to chime in.
I agree with most of @Tigerzen's estimates and therefore normally do not add to his assessments, however in this specific case I would have put you down at around 14-15% w/ muscle mass. Albeit I agree that it somewhat hard to tell given how lean you look withput quite having ab definition yet. Is this a cut first or a bulk to cut?
Getting ready to end my long caloric deficit.
I've gone from 240ish roughly to 175-180. Probably could of gone a little leaner, but I ready to put on some size .
This was around late 2015 / early 2016
[img]https://s21.postimg.org/pf9yjxmdz/nlackouted_collage_2.jpg[/img]
This was between Feb and the beginning of may.
[img]https://s21.postimg.org/tzw4yv63b/blackout_progress_collage_1.jpg[/img]
So what do you think im at roughly?
5' 9" / 175cm
184-189lb / 83.5-86kg
How much fat weight do you think I need to lose to be competition ready? Without noticeable losses of muscle or strength? I have never been properly shredded because I'm afraid of catabolising muscle.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Great transformation!
I would have guessed you were around 20-22% in the top pictures and 10-12% in the bottom.
I don't think you could have lost 60lb between photos because you would have had to start at 35%+ body fat, assuming you are 10% in the recent pictures and adding 60lb of fat to make you 240lb.
But not trying to take anything away from you, the results are good.

You're not wrong.
I lost my older pictures, But I started F5 and my deficit early 2015 (January roughly). Had a few breaks inbetween due to life / moving etc. As stated the top pics are from Nov-Dec 2016 to early January 2017. Then the bottom is from January to about now. The first group of pictures I was probably around 205-210 I think
I started at about 230-240 in early 2015 when I got serious about my weight.
But thanks! Glad to know I'm around my goal BF %

This was a bulk to cut. I went from about 62kg to about 74kg, now I weigh 67kg. What do you mean with " 14-15% w/ muscle mass"?

thank you in advance.
15% bf will look different cutting first w/o added muscle mass than around 15% from cutting after a bulk w/ added muscle mass.
Hello friends,
11 weeks ago I uploaded a photo (named 20170307) when I started to lose weight. I was at 76,1 kg (168 lb). The estimation of this forum was that I was at 22%BF (home scale said 24.9% and gym scale said 23.9%)
8 weeks later I took a photo of me (named 20170502), I was 71.8 kg (158 lb) and home scale said 22.8%BF.
Yesterday I took a new pic (name 20170524), my weight is now 70.3kg (155 lb). Scale at home says I am at 20.5%BF but gym scale said 17.8%.
I thank you all if you can estimate my BF% of my last picture.
I don't trust home scale because I have seen changes of 1% of BF% in two measurements of 1 minute apart.
I don't know if I can trust gym scale, it seems much more professional.. but, who knows?.
I know I can trust BBforum wisdom lol!!!!
Thank you all
(can anyone recommend me a good scale for tracking BF%, preferable if it is sold in Amazon, thanks).
@skullbreaker 18-20%
Doable within a couple months
5'9 203ish lb. pant size is 34-36. I have a light history of lifting. my best 5 rep max ever for bench/squat/deadlift was 230/305/410. These numbers have gone down considerable since I have been cutting for over 20 weeks.
Can multiple ppl give me an estimate. I will take the avg of those numbers.
^^30%

I would say 20% is about right, but could be slightly higher or lower depending on your genetics. If you can get below 175-180lb and keep your lean mass you'll be ripped. Good balance of muscle but I think you need a bit more upper chest from an aesthetic point of view. Good luck!

I would guess 25%. 170lb is a good goal and more muscle would look good. Focus on the big lifts and don't forget to train legs.

Hey everyone! I would really appreciate some help with my bf because I have no idea how to estimate it! Photos are on my bodyspace (the last 3). Stats: 1.71 m / 5' 7", 61 kg / 134,5 lbs
Being on a caloric deficit now in order to loose some fat after a long pause from the gym. Before photos are also on my bodyspace, so I would love to know also my bf when I began.
Thanks a lot :)

Hello guys!
Im 25years old 183cm and 88kg currently.
Im on a journey to get a better body and stay there forever.
From march I went from 108 kg to 88
First two pics when i started(i had some lifting experience before)
Sorry for the **** pics but my phone's camera broken
I would really appreciate an estimation of my current bf!
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Very helpful. It's hard to be objective with your own pictures.
I'm getting close to dropping into the 180's, which I haven't seen since '98 or '99.
I've noticed the same about the upper chest and have been doing incline db presses twice a week.
Any other suggestions? I have issues with flys because of mild shoulder pain.
Again, thanks a ton for the input.
178 cm. Lifting and getting fit with multiple sclerosis. Coming off a two month cut. Weighing in at around 67-68 kg. Only have my combined before and after (Or as close to as I have of a before) picture here to upload. Obviously looking for an estimate on the after one :p
