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

Sorry but that is definitely over 20% BF.[/QUOTE]

Sorry bud, but you're absolutely mental.
In this very same thread you got pegged at 13% with plump love handles hanging over the side and less rib visibility than me, plus far less chest and shoulder mass. I dont know if I'm 13%, but 20% is so laughable.

Again, I'm waiting to see what hardyboy says.

[QUOTE=Luclin999;1608388371]12%[/QUOTE]

I did a 3 points measurement and the sum was 8mm

1. Next to belly button 3.5mm
2. Chest nipple: 2.5mm
3. Upper legg 2mm

This would yield me a fat% of 2%?

Obviously I am not 2% but I don't understand this ****.

12% seems a bit steep - I'd say 10% based on this photo

Look at my edited post above yours and compare yourself to the "20% example" pic.

[QUOTE=Luclin999;1608391261]Look at my edited post above yours and compare yourself to the "20% example" pic.[/QUOTE]

You dont know what you're talking about. You post a pic of a guy you say is 20% that has plump love handles, no chest separation or rib visibility at all and try to say I'm 20% when I have a flat stomach, some rib visibility, you're nuts.

And you think you're 13% but have the nerve to say "Amsterdam" is 12% with so much more visibility than you that its unreal.

Again, I'll see what HardyBoy has to say because if anything he's accurate.

[QUOTE=chadwr85;1608391571]Again, I'll see what HardyBoy has to say because if anything he's accurate.[/QUOTE]

You do realize that the person you are saying is "accurate" is the one that said I was at 13% right?

[QUOTE=hardyboysare;1607987861]I would agree 13% would have been my estimate[/QUOTE]

For me personally, "13-14%" is a total guess on my part as it could be higher even up to 16%+. My fat/skin is a mess due to being stretched all out of shape from years of being morbidly obese which causes it to droop and "puddle" down around my lower back and stomach making it harder to estimate. And honestly, I'm Okay with that because it simply is what it is.

You on the other hand...

Amongst the fattest on this thread probably but no shame lol. 5’8 dude down to about 205 lbs cutting from 250 at the beginning of the year. Cut out alcohol and sugar (mostly) and following a pretty strict 7-800 cal deficit eating a whole food diet focused on protein and good fats. Workout wise doing a 3 day bro split with either all body training or HIIT on the other days.

What do you guys think my BF would be? Think I’m probably around 28-30%. Goal is to cut to 15% or so by end of year, hopefully at a weight somewhere around 170 lbs.

Hard to tell because you are flexing in that photo (Like it says in the first post of this thread: " Best results will include full body pictures, in a relaxed pose"), but keeping that in mind probably between 25%-30% (28%ish).

Ayy my bad, missed that, will keep in mind next time. Thanks anyway. 28/29% seems about right.

29 % how is the condition??

New pic in bodyspace, i think it is around 25%.
203 cm/108 kg

That is lower than 17%.

Assuming that you aren't flexing in those pictures and taking the terrible lighting into account, that is more like 12% maybe.

Reposting with relaxed front for more accurate estimate. What do you guys think? My personal guess is 28~%

For those who missed earlier post, I am 25, 5’8 and weigh 205 pounds~. Cut down from 250+ in Jan based on high protein diet and consistent lifting. Been lifting on and off for the past many years but only dialed in routine and diet this year.

No, Relaxed it looks like you are over 30%. 33%ish.

You have about 50 pounds of fat to lose to get into the "lean" percentages.

Well **** me hahaha. Thanks mate, better not to live in delusion I guess. Kind of painful to think I’ve been living like this, watching everything I eat for half a year and am still 30%+ body fat. But turning back is not an option obviously!

"Watching what you eat" isn't accurate. You need to buy a food scale and weigh/measure/log literally everything that goes into your mouth because anything else is just guessing at how many calories you are actually eating every day.

To be clear, I do log cals and weigh my food. The rate of loss is ok. Just a bit disheartening to still be so fat. But what’re you gonna do that’s life. Takes time to make improvements.

Pics on my profile; if anyone is able, I'd really love estimates so I can find out if there's a real difference or not. I just worry if what I'm doing isn't working since I feel I look exactly the same despite losing pounds and haven't actually lowered my bf% at all

However you do look a little smaller overall in the "after" picture than in the before.

Start recording your measurements when you weigh/photo yourself as it can help to determine progress.

Thank you! I have started to record measurements now so I hope it's just my mind playing tricks on me. When I compare the two I can't see a difference so it's nice to know someone can lol.

Also if I may ask, when you say "smaller", do you mean a little less muscular? Or a little less fat? I just wanted to make sure I'm doing this right haha. But I appreciate it!

Slightly less fat in the torso.

Going through this right right now. So I’ll drop a couple words. PM me if you want to talk more.

I went from 200lbs to currently 163lbs. In my eyes I couldn’t tell the difference till I got to 180lbs. So
180vs 200lbs I can see difference.

Since 180, I’m now 163 and I still don’t see a difference. I know I’m getting stronger cuz I can lift more weight. and there are days when I feel leaner in the mornings. But during the day I feel the same old me. Even though people tell me I’ve lost weight. Some get concerned if I’m sick or something. Lol. Intake that as positive feedback cuz that means weightloss is happening.

You need to trust this and keep going. Keep dropping that weight and keep lifting weights, eat 1g per lb of body weight, 0.5g fat per lb and rest in carbs and follow a proven weight lifting program (Deload and reset as the program says).

There were days when I would feel real sluggish and body was screaming for food. I wouldn’t give it to the body. Listen to your body. If you feel real down for a day or so, eat two days at maintenance. You will feel like no, I’m full. Don’t need to eat all this. Trust me. Eat at maintenance for 1 or 2 days and go right back to your deficit. 1lb per week or so. If you need a couple days at maintenance every 10 days or so, that’ll be fine. I take 1 day personally every 7 days and I dropped 50 calories a day to make up for it.

Do not quit loosing weight cuz later you’ll regret it (I quit twice and went to maintenance once - that was the greatest waste of time. Once I went into a bulk. I wish I had just cut till 13% to 14% before going to bulk).

Goodluck!! If weight is coming off and your lifts are progressing or you can lift the same weight as last week/month, you’re on the right track.

Edit: I can see difference in your fat specially on the side moobs and slightly in the lower stomach. So it’s working :)

Can anyone give me a bf% update? I like to check in occasionally on here to track progress. At week 6 now.

Thanks!

15%ish

What is my current bodyfat?

Do you see any improvement anywhere compared to my last pics? And where are the improvements?

I feel like I look the same (but I am lighter and stronger :))

How many more pounds to loose you think to get to 13% to 14%?

Some days I look lesser fat than others. Each pics is one a day over the last few days

My plan is to cut to 158lbs and then start a slow bulk gaining 2lbs a month for 7 to 8 months. That sounds fair or should
I switch to bulk now?

Thank you. I feel like I always have a hard time cutting down my body fat to where I want it to be. Ideally, I would like to be around 10% body fat or a little less, but I'm 6'2 and weigh 175 lb, and am not really looking to drop too much more weight at this point. At the same time, I feel like I still have too much fat to start a bulking cycle. I'm also going to be restricted to doing home workouts for a little while longer, obviously because of Covid.

Hi there! First time posting and i would love some advice. Last summer (for the first time in my life) i got quite fatty. The last four months i started a strict 500 caloric deficit diet with some lifting exercise. Male, 34 years old, 6 feet high (1,84), starting weight 207 pounds, now 175 pounds. Everyone around me, family and friends (no one with a dream body which i would admire) telling me i got to skinny but i want to be leaner i guess. I would like to get some bf estimates from the beginning to now. I try to link imgur pictures. Thank you.
