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

[QUOTE=bittersalt;1627464273]Hi guys, I've uploaded 3 of my most recent pictures in my profile.
I think I'm developing a mild case of body dysmorphia. I'm not satisfied with how I currently look and I get anxious whenever I look in the mirror every morning. A girl just told me that my abs sucks and it destroyed my self confidence. Currently, I can only see my abs in good lighting but my dream is to be able to see it in any lighting. I'm so confused about what should I do next. I'm 169cm and 60kg and I think my bodyweight is already incredibly light for a guy but should I diet down? What is my bodyfat percentage? and can anybody please give me an objective opinion on how my abs look? can it pass as a legitimate "six pack"?

I apologize for any grammatical errors, english is not my first language
Thanks you[/QUOTE]


Going off topic here and this just an estimation, but that girl could have been giving you a fitness test because she liked you and wanted to see if you buckle or maintain frame. If anything that means your doing good work and I wouldn’t let it shake you (that’s what women want to see as well that they can’t shake you). Internalize the changes your making with your body for YOURSELF or else you will never be happy unless you receive validation from others, which makes you dependent on others for your own happiness.

Good luck buddy.

Thank you for the estimate , sorry for their quality . I had the impression that I was actually closer towards 14-16% , in any case , should I drop a couple of pounds , or just straight out bulk in your opinion ?

Thanks, you don’t think I could cut further I was going to try and get to around 10-12% and then run at maintenance with 100-200 surplus and hit and the compound lifts. Incline press, squat, OHP, pull up, trapbar deadlift, and wide grip rows. Your physique is fantastic and would like to work towards something like that as a natty.

Thanks for the feedback

I think you can cut further, part of my BF assessment of 16% was also partially based on your height and weight, most people unless they have extensive strength training history aren't going to be that lean at 6'2" and 197, for you maybe around 185 to be down around 12%? Thats just a rough guess...

Hi guys! thank you for all your support and encouragement. I know that I shouldn't have taken a random girl's words seriously. Really appreciate you guys. I'll keep on grinding for me and myself only. Thank you!

You could cut but getting lower is dangerous cause from experience. Your mind will phuck you over and you'll just rebound. Everything starts tasting like candy and hormones go out of whack. Ultimately it's up to you but gaining will make you look bigger and better after a cutting phase.

That pic of me was at end of cut. I was 157 lol after glycogen refill and hormone balance I was up to 170 lol I did leap from 9% to 12% but I look way better than at 9% and can function properly again.

So as I said. In your case. I recommend going into a lean bulk then cutting again in 8 months and repeat.

Are we even looking at the same photo? He's getting lean, but he's nowhere near "dangerous" territory.

what do you mean 'keep eating'?

[QUOTE=AdamWW;1628271983]what do you mean 'keep eating'?[/QUOTE]

So specifically, I mean if I should keep trying to gain weight while lifting or if I should start cutting. I know it's completely subjective but I've heard it's not very efficient to bulk with 18%ish bodyfat.

Hey everyone, last time I posted in here they said I was ~25%. I'm 6'2 ad 18, started a cut at 232 on November 1st and currently ~215 lbs, around 8 lbs lost when I posted the other pictures. The new pictures are in my bodyspace and I was looking for a bf% estimate for where I'm at right now. Thanks!

Honestly, you look like 25% right now.

Hi all

Hope you all are doing alright, I have a question and I need your advice and help. I’m a 25 year old man who weighs at 180lbs with a 34% bf and is 5’8 feet tall.
I started cutting in September 16th, I was 196lbs with a 42% bf. I’m happy with my steady progress so far. I have two questions so bare with me please, first question; Can you estimate my bf percentage, I’ll post pictures, because I’m basing my bf % on the inbody scale at my local gym, which I know isn’t accurate at all. Second question is I want to get down to 14% bf by august 2021 and maintain it for awhile, then maybe lean bulk once I get to that digit. Judging by my pictures and progress thus far, is it possible? I eat below maintenance which is (1900 cals) at the moment. I’ll lower the calories as I lose more weight.


Thank you all in advance.

I put you somewhere in the area of 30% but in that range it's hard to really give a specific number.

You have about 25-30lb of fat to lose to put you in the low teens for BF... so yeah... losing 25-30lb in 8 months (32 weeks) is doable for sure.

If you're in a true 500-700 calorie deficit or so, that should get you there.

May I have an updated BF percentage please? I was making some coffee and walked past a mirror noticing my gut is finally completely gone.

5’8” 175lbs.

I’m thinking I’m around 17%. Maybe 16? But I’m not sure.

Thanks!

Hey y'all. Put on a bit of weight and exercised less during 2020 because of lockdown and all, but I'm looking to get back on track again. Here's where I currently stand. I'd like to slim down and get a bit more toned this year.

Stats:
6 ft, 0.5 in
168 lbs
waist: 35

Any estimates or advice as to where I should go next would be greatly appreciated! I'm also attached these to my bodyspace/profile, if you'd prefer to view them there.

Oof just realized all my pics are horizontal. Also I'm not 51 like my profile implies, I'm 20. :/ sry abour that!!

You need muscle, badly, its pointless to even give you a bodyfat estimate since you have no muscle at all on your frame. You should not be cutting or attempting to lose anymore weight, you just need to start strength training on a good program and ensuring you're eating enough protein (around 1g per lb of bodyweight daily).

5 foot 8, 160 pounds, 19 years old

I'm hoping I'm around 15-16% but I doubt it after reading this thread.

I’d say 15% is a good estimate

I've been training (with heavier lifts) and watching my nutrition consistently since I last posted. A frank honest BF% would be much appreicated

TIA

Hi was just hoping for an estimation so I know how much more weight too lose before I start to bulk.
I don't know how to post a pic so will give as much info as I can.
5ft 10 175lbs down from 230lbs waist is 34 inches down from 42. Still have protrusion in the stomach region so I expect I have a way to go yet.
If anyone can direct me on how to post pic it would be greatly appreciated.
Just uploaded some photos in my gallery not sure if people can see them?

Hello fellas, I'm 10 weeks into getting back into shape. 212 in the first pic starting and 192 this morning (I'm on no carbs so a bunch of that is probably water too)

Am I below 25% yet in the second picture? It is from this morning

Much appreciated ahead of time

What do you mean you’re on no carbs? Why would you do that?

Your current looks like around 23-25% to me

Ty brother

It’s a little more strict than that now since I’m doing Lyle McDonald’s RFL until Feb to kick start things and then slipping back into just plain old eating less and lifting

I’m a fat lard now and doing RFL is some quick and easy lbs while I’m here

You dont look any different than the last time you asked. Changes come slowly, unless your weight has changed significantly over the last month don't expect your bodyfat percentage to change.

[QUOTE=Nos06;1629405073]186.5lbs, 6'0, 20M (Pics on profile)

Sup guys! My goal is lean down to 10% to bring out definition and face gains. Lifting 4x a week, although I don't care much for putting on massive size as I think achieving that lean fighter type physique would look cool on my frame, but then again I've never been super lean before so I'll have to play it by ear. Cutting at ~1800 calories currently and will up to 2000-2400 soon since I started a job that's very physically demanding. Anyways, my best guess is 17-18% currently since my waist needs to shrink a ton but at the same time obliques and top abs are starting to show definition. Assuming that, goal weight should be ~170 lbs. Does that sound about right?[/QUOTE]

Your lighting is very bad and your photos are pretty far away (try framing just yourself in the photo instead of your entire room), but 17-18% from what I can tell might be close.

Hard to say where you'll be at a certain bodyfat percentage because lots of variables in play, but somewhere between 160-170 is a best guess.

You're right the lighting sucks, pics looked way better on my phone. I'll have to retake them soon. Thanks for the response!

Uh, but you said you’ve been doing it for like 10+ weeks... aren’t PSMF’s supposed to be very very short term?

I broke a week for Christmas to eat at maintenance. Was right around thanksgiving through Christmas, break a week then back on

Depends on your leanness. For lean people yea. He puts his users into 3 categories based on how fat you are and I’m definitely in the last category. He has lean doing it for 12 days max before breaking, that in between doing 6 weeks max, and then my category for 12 weeks max before breaking. I can’t remember the bf %’s off the top of my head for each category but I want to say sub 12% for 12 days, 13% to low 20% for 6 weeks and then above that go longer

There’s different variations on a PSMF but from what I’ve seen of others it’s feel free to go longer if you’re fatter basically. That wiki mentions modern takes on it can do 6-16 weeks but if I was leaner I would not think about that

What are you trying to do, because you lack muscle. If you are trying to build muscle then spend at least a year just focusing on that and getting stronger and stop worrying about a bodyfat estimate.

When you see significant changes in the mirror then come back and ask for another estimate.

Hi everyone! nice to meet you
