Hey guys! Longtime lurker. Starting to get real serious (downright nerdy even.)
Over the past 6 months I've lost a total of 35+ lbs. I was doing mostly cardio with a calorie deficit diet. A little training at the end.
Stats
Height: 5'9'' (or 69 inches)
Weight: 158
Age: 33
Daily calorie intake: 1700ish
I picked up a caliper, it seems I am thin in every area except my Mid-section (stomach, under armpits and sides are the worst.)
After that and comparing pictures, along with measuring my waist... I feel like I am in the 16% range.
I now want to move into strength training and have the dedication. I was thinking of a "recompisition/transformation" program.
Right now, to me, it looks like strength training 3x a week with an extra day to hit the abs/core hard. 2200 calories on a workout day w/ macros fulfilled, deficit on rest days. Or would I benefit from something else?
Thanks!
[QUOTE=KCMann;1539696611]where would you say im at now? still good to keep bulking?[/QUOTE]
17-18%. Yes, but keep your eye on the mirror. I would stop bulking in 3 months or so.
[QUOTE=vonlester;1539698361]should i bulk more?[/QUOTE]
Yes, but no more than 2lbs/month.

About 16% Plan sounds fine.

Thanks for the help! Greatly appreciated.
[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1538924151]You can’t change the shape of your abs. You can make them bigger and you can get leaner, but they’ll always be asymmetrical.
I’d focus on building muscle tbh.[/QUOTE]
Late reply but I was more talking like will I always have only 5 visible or if I cut will I see the 6th?
Hey guys, really need some advice on what my BF levels are looking like and if my fat loss plan/goal is realistic, I've been using this app and it says 10-11% but I'm not sure. Before you all say BULK you're skinny, I just need to cut down bodyfat to the 8-9% range for my last season of track and am hoping, this cut will shave a couple of tenths of my times. Regarding fat loss, do you all think it is realistic to go from 11 to 8-9% in 3-4 weeks if I am losing 2 pounds a week with 1g of protein per bodyweight and 0.4 grams of fats and the rest carbs, I already weigh very little so I think it will be very fast. I have been cutting for about 3 1/2 weeks now. The torso pic is completely relaxaed, but the quad is flexed(i store a lot of my fat in legs).
Thanks.

Thanks in advance, requesting bf%
5'11" - cut from 230 lbs to 163 over the past 12 months via a 3 day lift split/ 6 days of cardio. Wondering how much further I should cut to weight-wise to get down to at least 15% body fat. Guessing I'm 22 - 23 or so. TIA.

Im thinking of starting bulk training as ive been on a fat loss diet for a year now.I was 24 stone 1 year ago.Im now 14st 7Ibs.
Im i ok to start bulking up or do i need to keep on my low calorie fat loss

You’ll need to bulk and cut to know for sure. Right now, it looks like you don’t have enough muscle to make that sixth ab visible, even if you do cut.

Don’t lose 2lbs/week. You’ll lose muscle. I wouldn’t lose more than 1% of your bodyweight a week.

IMO, your bf is still too high to bulk. I would cut down to 180.
What percentage do you think though? Is my estimation correct?
[QUOTE=400mrunner63;1539914811]What percentage do you think though? Is my estimation correct?[/QUOTE]
It’s close enough. I would have said 12%, but that’s like a 1lb difference. Can’t gauge that in photos.

18-20%. Not sure what the end goal is. If you cut to 160, that would be around 12%.

You’ll need to cut 5-7kg to get good ab definition.
Hi
Can you please give me an estimate on my body fat
40yrs
164lbs
168cm
I used to be 216 lbs. Did a lot of cardio and lost weight and now at the gym for the last three months. Seen some improvements but hard to remove stubborn belly fat and love handles.
Do you think I should lose more weight? I am new so can't put links into here, you need to put www . Dropbox . Com in the front of the link

I’d drop another 10lbs and re-evaluate
[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1539956991]You’ll need to cut 5-7kg to get good ab definition.[/QUOTE]
do u think i have a good amount of muscle? so i should be at 12% ish bodyfat at 74-75kg?
Anyone want to take a guess on my BF here?
43 years old, 6'5", 195lbs.
Hi guys,
I recently underwent a 51 lbs fat loss, did it over the course of 18 weeks. Low carb, IF, fasted cardio; the whole shebang.
I'm 25, Formy weighed in at 240 lbs, weighed 188.5lbs this morning.
Was a rugby player in high school but hadn't worked out seriously in 4-5 years,
I joined a frat in college (which we all know means too much drinking and pizza) and got a girlfriend (lol).
I'd appreciate an estimate so I know where I'm at. Also, any tips on how to progress would be appreciate
My guess is 18-20%, I hold almost all my fat in my torso/lower chest, so you could say that it looks like I am fatter than I am.
I also have bad gyno, I'm aware and will be looking into surgery sometime down the line.
Second part of my question is, should I do a diet break and possibly a lean bulk? Or should I keep cutting?
I have not lost any strength, in fact I feel very strong and have broken past my PR's on all fronts
Thanks guys and hope to get some constructive responses.
Henry

Thanks for that.
Hey guys,
What do you reckon my body fat % is?
5 foot 9, 140 pounds
Thoughts on whether I keep cutting or start a bulk?
Cheers

You’ll probably look good w/ a shirt off, and look skinny w/ a shirt on. Once you get down to 74-75kg, I would lean bulk

About 15%
[QUOTE=craigtylersmith;1539990811]Hi there!
I'm 165 lbs and I am 5'10". I'm using an ACCU measure caliper to do a skin fold measurement at my suprailiac. The reading is 9mm pretty consistently which the chart says would be 9.5 body Fat % for my age.
Thing is, that seems impossible as what I see online for 9.5% body Fat, people are ripped. What am I doing wrong? Is the measurement wrong?
Thanks![/QUOTE]
You’re more like 16%.

I would take a diet break (1-2 weeks at maintenance) and then finish the cut (I would cut down to about 175).

About 16%. You don’t really have much to cut down to, so I would bulk for a few months (4-6) and then cut.
