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

[QUOTE=ColossalTraps;1541967951]Age: 15

Weight: 68kg (150lb)

Need to know my bf% to know whether i should continue cutting until i reach 12% or start the bulk now or soon.
If you think i'm above 12%, please give an estimate of what weight you think i should cut down to, in order to be at that point.
I should add, over the last 6 months, i have lost 32kg (70lbs) of fat.

You're 15. You shouldn't be cutting at all. Just eat and lift!

Stop cutting. You have nothing more to cut.

Hi,

I have been following the forums for a while and was hoping to get some advice. I am 38 years old, 6 ft tall, now weight 159 lbs, 15% body fat (Fat calipers and Navy method). My goal is to eventually gain lean weight of around 170 Lbs /10% body fat.

6 months ago, I had bulked up to 196 pounds. Unfortunately, I did not do a clean bulk and had gained decent amount of fat with muscle (my guess is that I was 25% body fat). At the time my plan was to bulk up and then cut down to 10% body fat.

Since then, I have cleaned out my diet and have been in a caloric deficit of 20% from TDEE (w comes out to be 2100 calories per day). In the last 6 months I have reduced my body weight from 196 to 158. My waist has gone down significantly (presently 32 inch) and my body fat has reduced down to 18% (measured using calipers and Navy method). Unfortunately, I have definitely lost muscle mass during the cutting phase in the last 6 months.


My Macros are 36% carb, 26% Protein, 36% fat. I had read different theories on workout diets and I went with the idea that if you have protein ( 0.7 g/ lb) and fat (0.6 g/lb) then the remaining calories can be filled up with carb. My exercise include working out 40 minutes 3x/week divided between Bench press, Dead lifts and squats to failure every set. HIIT 10 minutes 1-2 times per week.

I have attached my pictures so you can assess my body fat. As you can see I am skinny with loss of muscle mass.
My questions are:

Do I continue to be in a caloric deficit and get my body fat down to my target of 10% and then try to do a clean bulk to get my desired weight of 170 lbs. My estimate is that I will have to lose another 10 lbs to reduce my body fat to around 10%. That will definitely make me very skinny but if that is the route I have to take to get the eventual goal then that is fine.
2) Alternatively, should I switch to doing a clean bulk (250- 500 calories surplus / day) now and try to gain muscle before cutting again?
3) Am I not seeing results because of macros or insufficient exercise?

I underestimated how much I would have to lose to get the body fat down to my target. I read that if done right (high protein and lifting) then minimum muscle would be lost in the process. I guess I was wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

^^^I would guess 16 or so. Opinions may vary here but you don't look too fat to start a bulk. I would do a clean, slow bulk and put on some muscle first. If you cut now, you will look emaciated at 10%

1. I wouldn't cut anymore. Instead, I would lean bulk. Your bf is around 16%, but your posture's off which makes your stomach appear larger. I would work on that.

2. Hard to say w/o more information, but my guess is your routine could use some work. What have you been doing?

Hey guys looking for an estimate of body fat % for where I'm at. I've been cutting for last few months and current stat's for morning are 6'2/210.

Top photo is about 9 months back. Curious what I was back then for body fat %. I was 235 in that photo. Seems cut has been going well though it has been slow/steady.

Should I continue to cut or maintain/bulk slowly?

Workout Monday: Bench press 120Lb then reduce by 20 lbs for set (each set to failure, total 5 sets) + 10 minute HIIT stationary bike
Workout Wednesday: Biceps, superset with triceps 30 lbs each to failure. Reduce to 5 lbs subsequent sets every set (each set to failure, total 5 sets)+ Dead lift 100 lbs to failure x 3 sets (usually around 6 reps)
Workout Friday: Squats (90 lbs) + calves (90 lbs each, each set to failure, total 5 sets) + 10 minutes HIIT

21 years old
6'4"
207.2lb

Omron bodyfat measurer says I'm 16.6% body fat in the morning but I have a feeling my bf is a lot more than that. I have a rack at home that I use for bench and deadlift twice a week 5 sets of 5 but other than that I dont work out. Was overweight/obese all my childhood until age 18 when I lost 50lbs in 6 months by eating only natural healthy food and water and have maintained that ever since.

P.S. Do you think I have gyno?

No offense, but your program is terrible. Drop that and do a novice routine, e.g. one from the workout program section. Also, you may want to think about getting some workout partners or a coach to help you push yourself harder.

I'd say around 18% but someone better should confirm.

[QUOTE=TheBrave89;1542158331]I'd say around 18% but someone better should confirm.[/QUOTE]

I think I'm about 22%. I just want someone to confirm this lol. I posted pics on this forum in november and people were saying I was 18% , and if I compare the pics I look much fatter now.

I was thinking somewhere in the 20-25% area. Is that an overestimate?

Hard to tell w/ these pics. I'll tentatively say 12-13%.

this ones today was thnking about 12 to 13 thanks

Pics: in body space
Weight: 250
Height: 5'10"
Look pretty fat but feel decently strong with pretty good lifts..bench 275, squat 405, dead 455.. basically been on the SEE-FOOD diet for the past three years looking to get back down to the teens like I was I high school, just need to know how far I have to go to get there.

ill have a stab , would put u about 30% bodyfat.... so to get down to about 13% your looking at a 50lbs loss if u lose no muscle should take about 40 weeks hard dieting
