[QUOTE=JustCallMeJonny;1626119333]Hey guy’s I’ve posted here previously and just wanted to give an update. So far I’ve lost 5lbs and am currently 6’0 195lbs. I can definitely tell my face has gotten noticeably leaner as it tends to be the first place I lose fat. However abdominal area seems to be the most stubborn.

[QUOTE=yuggincho;1626142583]hey guys, i've been in a perpetual cycle of never fully committing to a bulk or cut until this year. At the beginning of the year, I pretty much gave up and ate like **** and gained lots of fat and got up to 200 lbs (Im 21M, 5'11). I got back into working out consistently in september and made it down to 163 lbs now. My goal is to get to 10% bodyfat before lean bulking. Can I get a bodyfat % estimate of me now? Thanks[/QUOTE]
About 20%
I wouldn’t suggest a traditional cut...
You don’t have much muscle mass at all right now, and it sounds like you’ve been losing fat extremely rapidly...

thanks. my goal body is definitely not to be huge and im looking to have a lean model type body. That being said, I still do need to put on more muscle but I figured it's best to cut down to low bodyfat (10%) before lean bulking since it is easier to bulk from a leaner state. I also don't care about looking small and actually prefer to look on the thinner side. My lifts have been improving slightly: currently 1rpm deadlift/squat/bench is 285/225/185 and slowly going up so I don't think I have to be too worried about muscle loss. Thoughts?

If you did that, you’d be like 145ln before you started gaining....
I maintain my previous statements... you don’t have enough muscle mass for traditional cutting IMO.
But it’s up to u...
[QUOTE=JustCallMeJonny;1626121883]I figured that’s a good goal to reach, maybe even high 170s. Strange part about this is my waist is at 30.5 inches. Can’t imagine how small it can get with 10lbs fat loss.[/QUOTE]Are you trolling here too, Johnny? lol

Cut down to 5'9" and reassess.

18% or so. You seem to hold a lot on your low back area.

You are well over 20% You should lift as heavy as fuk and recomp, you'll have to be such a low weight to remove them, it doesn't honestly make sense.
I had to lose 20lbs+ to get down to 12-15% lol and then everybody thought I was anorexic, cause you get super lean in your face and upper-body but it all sticks to your hips till the bitter end.

Yeah, that was my plan a week back to cut to 158-160lbs and then bulk, but now I have decided to do a recomp.
Any tips about the diet on a recomp? I know lifting wise you are supposed to progressively overload on a recomp, but what should be my calorific intake? and is the macro split the same as when you are on a cut (1g-protein/per-lbs body weight, 0.5g-fat/per-lbs body weight, rest carbs)

I would just focus on eating majority protein and the rest will fall into place. Once you build your width uptop they will appear smaller but you have to deal with them for awhile. But once you build some mass. You'll have a 6 pack at a higher bf% I see my abs at 20% lol
Hi all I have pictures in my body space from June and pictures of me now. Could you estimate my bf in June and estimate what it is now. Current weight is 190 and I was 196 in June. Currently recomping. Thank you

You need better pictures that don't block your entire frontal view... and back pictures that aren't 100% blocked by shadows...
sup guys back for an update been almost 2 months since my first bf check so I figured I'd see where I was at going into Christmas! Uploaded progress photos to my bodyspace rn.
thanks as always. forgot to say I was ~193 when I started and weighed in at 183 this morning

Hard to say because your abs etc are under the shadow of the lightning... I can see an outlines but because of the darkness it’s tough to tell...
I’d say around 13% maybe? Better lighting would help

You should gain some weight. Hard to tell cause low lbm. Maybe 17ish. Great job on fat loss!

Great job on fat loss. You are plenty lean to bulk once again always hard to tell with low lbm 14-16% if I had to guess.
[QUOTE=meloncap78;1626406383]6’2 188. Avi is 8 or so months old at 182 for reference.[/QUOTE]
Confused on pic or great angles in avi lol. You gained 6lbs and look night and day difference.

I look about 20% now right? Don’t think that’s possible though. Would have had to lose pounds of muscle and replace it with fat for that to happen.

That avi pic looks really different than pics you posted...
