Think I'm currently around 22% and have a solid base to cut down to but looking for opinions from people much more experienced than me.
Want to get shredded before our first child is born in October.

Plan is to start a 12 week bulk from the 29th June.
I think my body fat is about 22%, what do you think?
I'm 28, 5ft8 and 166lbs.
I've just recently started to cut down and hoping to go down to about 155lbs with a lower body fat. Planning on cutting for 8 weeks to start with and see how I progress. Let me know any advice you have.
I've posted some non flexing pictures below.
Thank you

Around that maybe a bit less at 20-21%
You need to follow a progressive overloading balanced training program so ensuring your weight train will be essential I advise this one:-

don't want to create my own thread so i'll ask a quick low effort question here: 5'7, 160 lbs @ around 18-19% bf... do you guys think it's fine to cut down to 145-150 lbs?
just want to make sure that i have enough muscle (based on those numbers) to warrant cutting down to 13-14% bf
Please critique my diet and bf%
should I keep cutting or bulk/lean bulk?
I'm 40yrs, was almost at 200 in July last 2019, at the moment at 166.7
I've been changing my macros as I went along my fat loss,
my current macros: pro: 189, Carb: 198: Fat 37
it's my guess that my bf % is at 25% so I'm assuming my lean mass at 126 x 15cal --goal 1890
three time 250 cal cardio per week,
current workout:
Mon
barbell bench press 5x5
barbell bent over row 5x5
overhead shoulder press 5x5
t-bar row 4x8
pull ups 4x8
barbell close bench press 4x8
barbell curl 4x8

Its a bit difficult to tell based on just numbers I am afraid a pic would be required. At 5ft 7 I wouldn't say its too low being 150lbs I personally would review once I got down to 150lb before considering any further.

I have you lower at around 19-20%. As for the rest of info required best to post that on the workout section.
As for your diet. Your fats are too low for the minimum requirements it should be 0.4 X body weight (so for you) = 66+ fats
So cut down on either or both the protein and carbs to compensate.

If you are answering in regards to me...
Six years ago I was carrying about 100 more pounds of fat than I am now and because of that the lower back/abdomen skin is fairly loose and sags down a bit as well.
Right now that "jiggly" skin definitely still has some fat to it but is also very loose so it makes for a sloppy mess below my waistline. Which is why I am still planning to lose another 5-6 pounds to attempt to deflate that area even more.
For comparison, this is what I was like when I was just 40 pounds heavier back in March 2019 versus last week. (I don't have any pictures from back when I was up close to 250 pounds).

Do you think the skin will tighten up and really that’s god damn impressive
And speaking of bf my new gym (my 24 hour closed forever) does free dexa scans with my membership level and avatars that show you what you would look like with more muscle or less bf or both
I’m 6’2 and weigh 178 lb. I have no clue what my body fat percentage is. Ideally, I’d like to lose a little more body fat, but don’t want to drop too many lbs. My profile picture is old, so here’s a newer picture:

At my age, I really don't know how much the loose skin will recover but I'd 100% rather deal with that than the fat so I'm OK with it either way.
There is a place a few miles from here offering Dexa scans for $75. I am thinking of getting one once I have dropped about five more pounds just to see how much fat areas like my lower back are still hanging on to.

Ummmm your female......
Female bf% can't be compared to male bf%. There is usually about 5-7% difference between females to males.
A male with 3-5% bf (visually) would comparison to 10ish% on a female aka very very lean. 10% male around 15% female etc.
Women always have more fat then males for child bearing e.g. bust, hips.
So in terms of 13% for a male that would be around 18-20% on a female so lean.
For you at 14% on a female that would be around 9% on male as a crude estimate.

20%ish ?
However it could be more if you are flexing in all the pictures, as that makes it harder to get a decently correct estimate.

If you chose tio "bulk" without a gym, I would go with a ~very~ lean bulk at best. Something like 150g of additional protein over maintenance each day. As to training without a gym, there are a lot of videos posted in the past two months about that but essentially it comes down to being creative. Weighted backpack for pull-ups, push-ups, squats, 20# cat litter packages for kettlebells, resistance bands.... Etc.
And I think first I should slowly increase calories/carbs, before going full maintenance/lean bulk... This might be shock for a body!

Hmmm... It was ages ago since I had to cancel gym membership. Like at least 6-7 months ago. I remember chest press being 70kg x 8. Bicep Curls with 20kg x 8. Why asking? I really want to do a smart bulk this time. And heard that going below 10% is not good.

Not a long time. TBH I do not have a lot of muscles. Mainly just chest. The rest is just low body fat and having a hot shower to pop-out veins. And genes from dad. And dehydrated because of ketogenic diet. I think.
I'm on a cut and uploaded 2 pics, one is 1 week in and the other 3 weeks in.
I'm currently at the end of week 4 of my cut with 3 weeks left. Unlike my best cut ever, which was 1.5 years ago where I got to 11.2% bf (according to Dexa scan) I was all the way down to 173lbs, right now I'm 188.8lbs, my 3 weeks into cut pic was 190 or so.
Can y'all give me estimate on each of those 2 "progress pics". Thanks. I've found this thread to be pretty accurate, in fact I contended I wasn't 14% before then got a Dexa scan and it was confirmed I was 13.9% lol, you guys are good at estimating.
Can someone please gauge my current fat%? Thanks!
