[QUOTE=enomismile;1514686301]I am 5'11'' (180 cm)
136 lbs (62 kg)
I would like to gain in the long run, but I don't know if it would be better cutting for a while before bulking.
what do you think my bf% is?
many thanks![/QUOTE]
You have no business cutting. Your ribs are visible. Bf is around 13-14%. You are lacking muscle, which is why you don't have good definition. Lean bulk for at least a year. You may be able to go for 15-18 months given your starting point.
Hello! what would you say is my body fat %? Also I started lifting weights around 2 months (did some crossfit a year ago but quit after a month lol). I've been eating at a 1800-2000 kcal (I'm almost 5.10ft and 165 lbs and in theory my TDEE is around 2300-2500kcal). I notice some muscle growth (weird because i'm on a deficit) but the lower abdomen and love handles have me worried and I don't know if I should cut, lean bulk or body recomp at this stage. I'm very confused!!
I'm doing a 3 day x week training with compound movements and progressive overload (is that what it's called?).
what would you guys do? Thanks!

About 16%. I would start with a small cut (8-10lbs). When you're new to lifting, you can build a bit of muscle in a deficit. I'd take advantage of that, and then start a lean bulk.
Hi guys could someone make me an estimate?
My scale says 37% I dont know really. The image is my last progress pic.
Thanks
[QUOTE=ripper529;1514695511]What's my bf%, though?[/QUOTE]
I'd say 15

Around 30%
Can someone give me a body fat percentage estimate?
The pictures are in my bodyspace, they're the most recent ones. I am wearing blue shorts.
How long will it take to get to 10% body fat healthily?
Estimate of how much lbs I would end up weighing?
Height 5'7
Weight 178 lbs

23-25% Will need to lose about 30lbs to get to 10%, maybe a bit more depending on how well you retain LBM. Healthily, you can lose 30lbs in 20 weeks, though it may take longer. That depends on how consistent you are with your diet.
Hi all,
can you rate my BF %?

Any tip for improvement? I plan to lean bulk up to Feb/March then cut for 3 months.
Thanks!

Looks to be about 15-16%.
Age: 18
Height and weight: 5'9 and ~152.
Can anyone help me guess what my bodyfat is? I'm guessing around 16%. Photos are on my profile.

I'd say closer to 14%

Thanks, now I can stop worrying if I need to cut and continue bulking

Definitely keep bulking. If you keep the bulk lean 2-3lbs/month, you should be able to keep going for another six months.
Two pictures in the bodyspace. 6"1' 169.
Also, do I "have abs"? I think not but dunno.

Around 13% IMO. You're starting to get abs.

Some of these angles are a bit odd. You look 16-17%. I don't think you look fat. You just look like you need more muscle.
Hey! Looking for an estimate... I honestly don't have a clue even after looking at example pics. Maybe around 23%? Who knows. Open to suggestions. LOL

I'm 4'10", 33 yrs old, and last I checked (about a month ago) 104 -ish lbs (I don't have a scale so can never weigh myself in the mornings). I did a body fat calculator machine a while back that said 22%, but I know they can be inaccurate.
I've lost about 8 lbs since I started body building and now it always fluctuates around 102-105, I think because I am building muscle.
Really want to get down to 16-18% just as a personal goal.
[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1514616901]Looks to be about 15% to me. Multiply your weight by your lean mass % and divide by the % you want to end your cut at. Then you'll have your goal weight.
E.g CW*.85/.9=GW.
How long it takes will depend on what rate you can handle cutting.[/QUOTE]
Hi how can i calculate it? Im having a hard time calculating it. 195lbs 22% bf. Lean body mass% is .78. Its for my friend
Hi my name is Juan I've recently lost 15 pounds I now weigh 145 im about 5'5. I want to start bulking soon but not sure if i should continue losing weight first any help would be appreciated thank you.

13-16 maybe. But i'm no expert. I'd cut 5 pounds at the most and start a lean bulk to get to around 155/160 for your height.
Stats:
5'6
195lb
*I'm currently on a deficit eating about 2200-2300. Before that, a month ago I was eating 2400 and lost 5lbs. My goal is to get between 160-165. The last photo with a tanktop is after a back/bicep session.
Looking for A bf% update currently 6' 169lbs started bulking a few weeks ago hoping to be close to 190 by spring.

GW=195*.78/.9 This will give you his approx. weight at 10% bf.

About 16%. I'd probably give it another 5lbs.

Around 17% I'd cut a few more kg.
@Partyrocking, you estimated my body fat at 12% Thanks by the way :). how long will it take me to get full shredded? This is currently my 7th month progress. Or do I need to lose more fat? (cutting)?
