I'd say slightly below 30%, but you have lots of muscle underneath and will look great leaning out.

Thanks! I used to be ~215 @12-15%. I never stopped going to the gym but I was drinking and eating too much. Back on the grind. How long do you think it would take to be ~230lbs at 15% bf? I value my muscle mass so I don't want to sacrifice a bunch of muscle just to make the number on the scale lower. Thanks!

Did you see the link? Not just pics on bodyspace or pfp

Pretty hard to address. I'll leave it to someone else more experienced to help you out.

Reason being that at your height, being 12% @ 215 lbs seems very unlikely, and the same goes for 15% @ 230 lbs. It is also difficult to estimate how much someone will weigh at a certain bf %, due to water weight and loss of lean mass. All you need to do at this point is decide whether to cut, bulk, or maintain. Trying to figure out a final goal weight etc., is very difficult and more or less pointless.

[B]Tucane[/B] or [B]Tigerzen[/B] can probably provide better insight.

Good luck.

[QUOTE=Tigerzen;1492323951]Approx 32%[/QUOTE]

Haha... ouch. Intellectually, it's consistent with my final goal, but hearing it is another matter.

Back on veg and plain meat for me.

From your current ≈30%BF and ≈250lbs it's reasonable for you to be 220-230lbs @20%BF and subsequently 200-210lbs at 12%BF and finally 190 lbs in competition shape aka 5%BF. This is based on your height, assuming you are at genetic maximum in terms of muscle (FFMI 25), while obviously assuming you are a lifetime natural athlete.

It might take around 6 months to 15%BF, with a consistent approach and a chronic deficit.

[QUOTE=needgainz25;1492296351]21 years old, 193 cm/6'4 tall, 86 kg/190 lbs. Currently planning on cutting for at least another month, but would like to know where I am at. 3 point measure test with calipers says 8%, but that seems way to low. Pics are in my bodyspace gallery, both are relaxed.

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

Looks about 10%BF from those photos, front@ 9-ish% and back@ 11-ish%.

About 16%BF.

In between 13-14%BF.

81kg, 180CM or 5'11 in freedom inches....

I'm guessing 18-24% bf ?

Trying to decide whether to cut or bulk

I'm 5'11 160 pounds and I have pics in my imgur link. I'm guessing 15% but id like the opinion of others. imgur(dot)com/a/zjpU3 replace dot with . I don't have 50 posts yet

Lower.... around 16%BF, if you ask me. Cut down for summer season, bulk over autumn/winter maybe? or just do what you prefer:-)

I want to cut... but not like there is a lot of muscle there. Thats why I can't decide

can you check my bodyfat percentage? My pics are on the previous page (18) under my user name, hhhshovel. There are some questions on my earlier post I hope u can enter to the best of your ability. I just want confirmation on what someone else told me my BF was.

Hi Tucane,
Could you post an estimate for me as well? I've also attached one picture from 1 month ago
( rsz_dsc01445.jpg, where I got an estimate of 25% at 70.5 kg). Thanks.

Tigerzen, thanks for your help.

Yup, 15%BF seems about right, top-torso is leaner (common), while you do have some more to lose from the lower parts... like abdomen.

I'd say ≈30%BF and I agree on the approximated target weight of 175lbs @12%BF. You will lose some lean mass (waterweight) dieting down, it's inevitable. This is also why mileages vary (and forecasts suck), some people lose less water, some more... too many decisive factors.

Looks like chest fat, but you really should see a doctor if you suspect gyno.

Looks like you lost 1.5%BF or so... which also is normal for a months progress. Note that you lose fat around organs (visceral fat) at this point, which is why you look the same but smaller.

I'd say 23-24%BF.

[QUOTE=jacemano;1492398881]I want to cut... but not like there is a lot of muscle there. Thats why I can't decide[/QUOTE]

Don't think too much:-). Take my advice. Cut down to ≈12% first, then bulk slowly (300 cals surplus) when you feel ready.

Only flexed minorly in back.

6 foot, 171.6 avg from last week

Any help will be appreciated

I went to a local place to get my body fat% taken and the results were all over the place. 1 test came back at 14% and the other came back at 16%, then they told me that they could be off by 3% and the numbers are anywhere from 11%-18%. So I just wanted to see what you guys thought my body fat% could be around.

I am 5'6 .5 162lbs

height: 6'1
weight: 185 lbs

Could i get an estimate, i feel I'm 12-15%, pics taken today in body space both relaxed and flexed. New so i would like to know where my base is, thanks!

[QUOTE=Katlynnn;1492485011]160cm, 60kg

About 30%BF.

About 13%BF. Looks very lean, but needs more mass.

Looks to be 15%BF.

The best body fat scale is able to set better fitness goals because you’ll have better information available to you every day.

Swallowing my pride a bit here....

Photos in my bodyspace. I am 5'11"

Jan 21 Photos - 243LBS
April 14 Photos - 225LBS

If possible to get an estimate on both, that would be great. Trying to document fat loss journey a bit.

Thanks in advance!

Nice progress man!

From ≈36%BF to ≈30%BF.

[QUOTE=bodyscale;1492545411]The best body fat scale is able to set better fitness goals because you’ll have better information available to you every day.[/QUOTE]

False, even the best of bf%-scales aren't accurate enough to be trusted. As a matter of fact, there is currently nothing publicly available that is good enough.

Just for info's sake.

[QUOTE=Tucane;1492565901]Nice progress man!

From ≈36%BF to ≈30%BF.[/QUOTE]

Thanks so much! I'll check back in a few months!

Thanks! I'm starting a clean bulk soon when I drop to a slightly lower body fat, should I cut cardio down at the gym, or maintain working on it while trying to put on muscle?

I'm 22 years old, 5ft 10.5inch and weight of 187 pounds. Please can you guys tell me what my body fat percentage could be? Online calculators say around 24-27% but I heard they aren't accurate.

Hi Tucane,

I'm a 26 year old female. I have dropped over 90 pounds earlier and the weight has been constant for more than a year now, seems like the loose skin hasn't gone anyway.

Can you please analyze my BF% in the two pictures. Since they're just a month apart (I was eating junk the past month) it confuses me even more, so I'd really appreciate your measurements. Feel free to also comment on my composition and any programs you'd recommend. Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Hello,

I was unhappy with my former weight maxes and decided to bulk up.
Even though my lifts improved a little bit , I think I did a great disservice to my appearance. Unfortunately, I seem to store most fat in the belly area.

My stats:

*5,9 "
*184 lbs
*Roughly two years of consistent training
* BF: ?

Keep doing cardio if you like. You might need more calories though, so as always, let your scaleweight average guide you.

About 33-34%BF.

Awesome progress!

One doesn't lose/gain much in terms of BF% in a month. What normally happens when eating "junk" aka salty carbs... is temporary water retention, which can cause swings in scaleweight of up to ≈10lbs. Also waterweight tends to fill out loose skin.

Looks like you are in between 22-24%BF.

Yup, you might have "bulked a bit too far". Good mass gains though:-)

Around 27%BF.

[QUOTE=Zisk;1492698201]Would I be able to get an estimate of these? Cutting, currently at 169.5 lbs @ 5'7.
Do I have a decent enough base to look good once I hit 10-12% body fat without looking too small? fat on my sides bothers me but hopefully that should shift soonish.
Quality isnt that great as it seemed easier to set a timer on laptop camera rather than phone[/QUOTE]

Looks like you have enough muscle imo, aim for 12%, then reassess.

Currently in between 21-22%BF.

Thank you, assuming im at 21.5 currently that would take me down to like 150 lbs @12% which is lighter than I wanted to go initially but I'm sure it'll be worth it
