What's my bf?
Hi! I've been working out for two months and intermittent fasting for over 4 months. I'm doing cardio 3x a week, eating less carbs but having much more protein. Nothing radical.
Lost lots of fat and I have now much more definition but the stubborn belly fat still hangs, so I'm getting a fat burner to speed things up. Sometimes I don't even think it's pure "fat", it just feels like my inner organs pushed outward in my belly XD. My marks are:
height:176cm (5,77)
weight:80kg
age: 30y old
These pics are from 20 days ago. I'm slightly better now but it's irrelevant to evaluation.

around 25% is my guess though

Height: 6'2" / 189cm
Weight: 210Lbs / 96kg
Trying to figure out what to do next. Went a bit too far on my bulk, and gained weight too fast. Aside from bodyfat estimate, any suggestions on what I should do next?

I would guess 24%. And would recommend that you cut.

What's my percentage?
I have a Renpho scale. I'm wondering how accurate it is.
I'm 5'6.75
140.6 pounds
My goal is to look like Diego Schwartzman (top 10 tennis player) since he's my height and weight (listed as 5'7 141 pounds). Not sure his body fat percentage and how long it will take me to get there from my current shape.

What would you say Diego Schwartman is? I'm a tennis player and he's the same height and weight as me. Wondering how much fat I need to replace with muscle to look like that, thanks.

My guess on that guy would be about 14%, but he could be leaner (some guys don’t have visible abs unless they flex)
Btw his bones may weigh more than yours in which case you will need more muscle than him to attain that body composition at his stats. Not all fat free mass is muscle.

[QUOTE=ConquerMyself;1486171311]I'm 30 lbs in after 5 weeks or so, pretty happy with the rate that I'm losing at, haven't ever been 'in shape' in my life so I figured I might as well do it now.
Starting to see body changes, here I am currently relaxed.
Calculations tell me that I'm 20%~21% but I feel like I look higher than that maybe? Estimates please?

[QUOTE=EiFit91;1643261723]If you take your waist measurement every morning and track it over time, you can watch the trend. Doing this will take care of the noise problem as noise cannot explain the measurement trending up over time. The bias in your tracking will remain constant as long as you are measuring in the same way every time (e.g. at the navel) so the trend is a reliable measure of fat gain. If it is trending up quickly you are gaining fat, if the trend is flat you are essentially pulling off a perfect lean bulk.
Probably it will slowly increase but you could for instance use a rule of thumb like whenever your waist increases by 1 inch you diet that 1 inch off back to your baseline waist measurement. Your weight should be higher when that inch is off and then you will know you have gained some good muscle mass.
And if your weight is higher and your waist is back to baseline, your BF% will be lower![/QUOTE]
Thank you for the response!
I do have one more question to ask and I'm fully aware I'm a bit late in replying to your post lol.
Can I also just start to cut down to around 15% body fat right now or less (based off what you see on my pictures) and continue eating at maintenance? (If my exercise progression is still going up.)
If not, how do I know I've built a good base before beginning a cut?
My squats are reaching close to 200lbs and what's bothering me the most of my fat percentage is the noticeable gut I have on my stomach. Some people have pointed it out and it's been bothering me for a long while.

I don’t remember your pictures but based on that squat number I doubt you have enough mass to be happy at 15% yet.
Post a current pic and I may be able to give accurate advice?

Originally I was going to wait until the end of my cut to post here, but I am so close to the end of it and had a refeed meal yesterday, that the results that I have now ought to speak well for my physique without "diety" manipulation like volatility from fasting, water levels, etc. Currently I'm on a program to retest my maxes that will last one more month. Past that, I'm not sure if I'd rather continue cutting or train at maintenance over the fall.
An honest bodyfat estimation would be appreciated. Was aiming for 20% but I'm most likely still above it. If so by more than a little bit, I'll probably continue cutting until easily 18%.
6'2"
239lbs as of this photo, upon waking up hydrated and well fed the prior day
Note: I am standing with good posture but not actively flexing like for a pose.

These stats are from a couple weeks ago but should be close enough:
Measurements taken cold to time stamp for reference:
- Bodyweight 238.3
- Waist 38.5"
- Shoulders 52.5"
- Arms 17.5"
- Thighs 25"
- Forearm 14.5"
- Bust 45"
- Neck 18.5"

My best guess would be something like 22-23%. The side shot is blurry so it is hard to judge and there is no back shot which would help. You have a lot of muscle and holding the weight extremely well IMO. I’d probably cut to 220 lbs if I were you.
Your forearms are almost the size of my biceps LMAO.

I've started an aggressive cut after not working out and eating crap for almost 6 months. I've lost a lot of mass in the meantime, so I'm eager to go back on a bulk to recoup the lost muscle. I plan to cut to 14-15% and then start a lean bulk.
Where do you think I am now?
Height 188 cm
Weight 95ish kilograms.
Note, I have very, very underdeveloped abs, causing a pelvic tilt, if that makes a difference.

bf?
Hey!
What would you say my body fat is? Started lifting weights about 4 months ago, I have been obese for a long time and then lost weight to about where I'm now.
My upper body looks a lot leaner than my lower body, especially the thigh and butt area.
I'm currently cutting because IMO I look fat.

Thanks for the estimate. Yeah, 220-225 is the next target. I think I will end this cut now to focus on retesting my maxes and then in a couple of months aim to drop down to 18%.

So I’ve been working HARD for 4 months, and my weight hasn’t changed which is fine because I was adding muscle, but my scale BF% is exactly the same at 32.5% which is obese for women… I am achieving all my goals except no longer being obese
I think I’m closer to 27/28%… can I get a second opinion please? I 100% understand I am no where near going on stage at a low percent but I don’t want to be unhealthy fat anymore.

Hello there, I have been bulking for 2 months now and wanted to check if I was still under 15%. I had to diet for god knows how long to get down and I'm setting 15% as my max now to keep it in smaller chunks
Pic 0 was my starting in early July, around 170
Pic 1 is current, unflexed, around 178
Pic 2 is current, after a pump (also around 178)
I think 13% ish?
This is my first true bulk and I would appreciate feedback on how it's going as well or how the physique is (and what's lagging), even though that's outside of estimating bf%
