In between 9-10%BF.
Alright BF% experts (looking at you Tucane), below is a picture of when I started my bulk at 129lbs (ew) in December and a few pictures of me currently at around 142.
Need someone to quell my curiosity. What would you quote my BF% to be in both old and my current crop of pics. Thank ya!

At your lowest it's a 6%BF no doubt.
For the current's, it looks like you gained minimal fat and the rest LBM. I'd say still 6%BF and most likely the leanest physique I've seen in this thread^^ Keep up the slowbulk mate!

I knew you'd come through with a quote with the quickness. Thanks pal!
Already feel a lot better being back up to this weight. I'm going to try to get back up to about 160lbs then take it from there. I've been obese the majority of my life so I'd rather stay on the leaner side.
Been going to gym for 6 months
Height: 6'15
Weight: 167 lbs
Should I cut or bulk?

In between 24-25%BF.
How old are you?

Wow, is it really that high?

Yeah, around there... I might be off a point or two as an error margin. Good news is you're old enough to do a small cut and new enough to lifting to build some muscle while cutting.
The important part is gym progress, so stay close to maintenance calories (300-500 below) and work your hardest.

Hi, 43 yr o LF new estimate, Height 175cm 5'9
Weight 65.9kg 145lb
Photos in body space
Currently my scales are avereaging 14% reading, think Ive lost 1-2% BF over my last current photo. Love handles are tightening up.
I have been trying to recomp for 6 weeks after finishing a 3 month cut from 20%, eating surplus on training days and deficit on rest days. I want to avoid cutting or bulking to try and give my skin a chance to catchup with my weight loss.
Was estimated at 15% before
Thanks in advance :)
I'm currently trying to get ripped and have been eating a keto-style diet for the past several months as well as exercising 5-6 times a week, including HIIT.
I feel that I'm still needing to shed more BF, but I also feel that I need more muscle definition.
Anyway I've attached photos of my physique, is anyone able to estimate roughly what my BF % is, as well as any tips on how to achieve a more ripped/toned appearance? I'm 5'10 and weight around 165 lbs.

I agree, in between 13-14%BF.

In the range 16-17%BF.
The best you can do IMO is to create a small deficit of -500, keep protein high and aim to progress im lifts with maximum effort.
Age: 33. Height: 5’6”. Weight: 128 lbs.
Check BodySpace
Tried calipers and Higgi scales. Don’t want to do Dexa or Hydro due to cost.
Trying to decide if I’m low enough to start clean bulking
Thanks!

Definetly low enough for a lean bulk.
In between 12-13%BF.
Thank you! I knew the calipers were lying, I’ll have to get some additional training. Calipers day around 10%, Higgi said 12%, and I’d like to see more abs before I start a bulk, but I’ve been at this weight and bf for about a month.
Going to have to add a second HIIT day I think if I want the “best” results. Maybe adjust the macros a bit more one way or the other.
Appreciate your help.
Hi,

I feel im pretty lean now but want advice if i should carry on cutting to lose the lower back fat or if i should focus on getting more lean mass before i go any further?

Ps. Sorry about the photos for some reason some upload in the wrong orientation
Hi, can i get an estimate of my body fat please? Im 5'7 and 135lbs. Pics in my bodyspace.

Around 12%BF.
Imo you can profitably go on a leanbulk and enjoy the mass gains together with the added calories.
The last remaining fat usually takes a bit more effort/suffering to lose. There are no benefits to it except looks, until you reach the point where you start looking/feeling worse.
Ultimately, regarding when to switch directions, it's a preference call.

Somewhere in between 17-18%BF.
Hey can I get an estimate? I posted before and have gained a bit of weight.
Stats: 5’9 174lbs

Got thunder thighs, some belly and puffy cheeks
Can I get a body fat estimate and also a recommendation like cut/bulk? Thanks!
[QUOTE=Tucane;1584242201]Somewhere in between 17-18%BF.[/QUOTE]
Just to confirm again, it's the pic dated July 18th 2019, since i was around 17-18% before my cut and it's kinda weird im still at that body fat range after my cut. Thanks in advance.

About 25%BF.
I'd say cut, keep a pace of 1lbs/week and work your hardest in the gym.

My before cut pic is the one dated Apr 20, 2019. Thanks again.
Can I get a bf% estimate please?

I have calipers but I'm not convinced that the reading is right. Would like to clean bulk soon.
New user so pictures are in body space.
Thanks.

In around 23%BF.

Cheers, appreciated it.
What would you recommend going forward? Dont feel I've much mass to cut down too. Already feel a bit thin. Doesn't help I'm very tall with big legs. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

If you cut slowly you can likely push yourself to progress in the gym giving it your all. This way you'll get a bit from both worlds. A 300-500 deficit should do it.
