[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1560591601]I'd say 9-10%.[/QUOTE]
Thanks! Seems that all the knowledgeable and fair people are saying this! Some are saying skinny-fat and 15-20% (seems more troll).
My question - how come all the tests (calipers, tape, impedance) overestimate me when from experience of other people they usually underestimate? Also to note, I am not so good with calipers, as it seems that I am using them wrong (used to get about 12.5% before and now getting like 5-7.5% by a different approach - so calling the average of 10% here!).

Hi partyrock its in the gallery photos not in the progress photos but i also uploaded it in the progress photos just now. Thankyou. Still dont know how to post pictures directly here

Good morning, 20 y/o (not 48 like this says lol), I (try to) do athletics, 6'1'' (185 cm.), 156 lbs (70.7 kg.), two months ago I was in 173 lbs. (78.4 kg.), despite my hips, I think I'm skinny, and getting skinnier as time goes by.
Photos from now, after I had dinner (let's assume % will be a bit, not too much, higher). My weighing machine told me I was at 14.0% when I woke up, but I do not trust it at all. Let's see what do you think, 'cause you know more!

15% and little muscle mass, or 17.5%.

Hey again! :-) Considering that you are flexing hard, I would say 12.5% at best! Consider dropping some water weight (cut salt, carbohydrates) for better aesthetics. Good luck.
-
[QUOTE=DvoycY;1560601861]15% and little muscle mass, or 17.5%.[/QUOTE]
I would say even no muscle mass as I run long distance and I am not in my best muscle shape.

Hey i wish i was at 12.5 percent lol. But i am currently bulking and the last time partyrock gave me an estimate is i am at 16 percent. Hoping i am still 16% so i am sure i am minimizing fat. Still thanks

15% is a fair estimate! Seem to have decent muscle mass as well (guess this is explained by the weight).

Ok, I think these six photos are better than the last six. Maybe they do not change the guess, but I think they are better, I have not eaten a lot this night and I've done 90 minutes of cycling so this is almost how I look when I wake up. No core exercise , not even flexing , clean photos.
Weighing machine gave me 14.0%, I do not think if it is real in global. I have fat in some zones while in others I only have veins or tiny muscles I did not know they existed.
As I said, 186 cm in the morning, 185 rest of the day ,like 6' 1.25 '', and 70.7 kilograms (155.7 lbs). 20 y/o .Thanks!

id say 14-16 percent is pretty accurate..
you could gain a lot of muscle mass though.. not much definition..

Picture in body space. I have a feeling I’m skinny fat. 151 lbs, 5’9.
What do you think. What do you suggest I do moving forward? I’m afraid to lose more weight and get into the 140s but I still feel fat.

Anything "mini" is useless, being less than a (couple of) month(s); otherwise, you shouldn't call it mini.
Yes, cut to 10% in like 2 months (moderate deficit to preserve muscle - 500 calories), then bulk to 12-13%, then go for the 9-11% (6:1 months) cycle.

about %16

[QUOTE=LethalPYT;1560656711]about %16[/QUOTE]
That’s what my scale says. Am I skinny fat? Should I keep cutting another 5 pounds or so?

Got some luck with the scale then, wouldn't rely on it too much though; on top of the value still being approximate (+/1% probably). Cut another 5-10 pounds to lose 2-4% but 10% should be the goal.

Well, today I'm in exactly 154.6 lbs as I lost one due to fasting for 12 hours for a blood extraction. Only water lost. In these photos I'm posting, from 2015 and 2016, I was between 148 and 155 lbs., so muscle mass was not so different (basically because I was in a lower weight than now with less body fat), I started in 132 lbs. so very skinny and doing only gym machines and abs, and although I looked very skinny, I gained a lot of definition and looked stronger (despite my height and weight) than in 170 lbs. My only goal is to discover my abs, as my legs (I do athletics) are already pretty cut, and I do not want upper body extra mass.
I think in these photos I would be in the first two over the 10% (¿12?, don't know) and in the third, in which I had 4 pounds less, and less muscle, probably somewhere between 10 and 12. I'm maybe in 14-15 and still not showing byceps veins. Starting in forearms as you can see.

You are posting very bad quality photographs and do not state exactly what do you want with all the story. Given the context of the thread, we will focus on the body fat percentage. Post a (at least a decent quality, no blur) recent photograph of your bare chest (preferably more - including the waist and neck) together with your height (will take 155 pounds/70 kg as the current weight - no need to go into grams and water retention; you are not at that stage to micromanage). Looking forward! :-)
At the moment I would give you about 12.5-15% skinny-fat, as it does not seem that you have the effort to be lower (seem to be focusing on other things instead). Hopefully I am wrong, please prove me! :-)

Hey. I would say about 9%. Plenty of muscle mass as well! What is your waist circumference, like 31 inches?
I would cut another 5 pounds at a slow deficit (250-500) for a couple of weeks to reach an ideal physique, together with flushing out the water with reduced carbohydrates and sodium.

Hello ,
I am 24 years old 6'1 and 190 pounds. i used to be very fat in the first picture its me after an agressive cut where i lost 60 pounds, after that picture i have been eating in a calorie surplus and traying to build some muscle for 3 months now, please see the second picutre.
I want to hear some opinions in my progression if there is one , because of my lack of experence i cant notice the changes , and please estimate my body fat.
Sorry for my bad english.
The picutres are in my profile.

Definitely cut to 10%. Provide height, weight and waist size. Now you are 17-18%.

It comes down to how skilled the person is at using the caliper (some people underpinch their fat and thus get an estimate that's too low) and it also depends on which formula the person puts the numbers in.
IME, Calipers are better for measuring changes in body fat than they are giving absolute numbers.

You're bulking too fast/putting on too much fat. Bf is about 20% Cut and next time bulk at a slower rate.

Very difficult to estimate visually-only from the photographs provided, given that you have definitely gained sufficient fat. How much did you gain during your three-months bulk? I would guess thirty pounds (1000 daily calorie surplus). If you trained at least decently and have sufficient rest (including sleep) helped by a diet as a beginner you were ought to make some gains (more difficult not to make any) - judge your strength gains by the lifting numbers. Having said that, definitely cut - would not expect MUCH definition but it certainly will set out a path for a better bulk next time (like it has been mentioned make it lean the next time - 250-500 maximum!).
