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

Great, thank you. Do you think I should continue cutting while lifting? Cut to 12%? Then bulk?

About 16%. Strength training is more relevant in terms of body composition, but it’s hard to give advice without actually knowing what it is you are doing.

[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1534854521]I would say 23-25% from that picture. If you have one from the front, that would be helpful.[/QUOTE]

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. That sounds about right. I will try and take another photo,

Cheers

A little back story. I started getting serious about my health and fitness at the end of July. I am 5’6” and weighed in at 180.1. I had a BIA reading of 40% body fat. (I am learning there are many variables to BIA and the inaccuracy of them.)

I have continued to have a BIA scan each month to try and help track my progress. In October my body fat was reading 35.4%.

I once again had a scan done today and it went up to 35.8%. I know this can’t be accurate (at least I am really hoping not.)

I have been putting in hard work at the gym and following a clean, protein rich diet. My current weight is 158, for a total of 22 pounds down.

I am currently looking into other methods in my area to hopefully get a more accurate reflection, but want to post here to see if I am just crazy in thinking it should be less? 😖

I would cut about 10lbs

I'd say around 27%.

I am 5'10.5

Pic on the left was me last year. I weighed 165 pounds and I guess I was around 24% BF? Any guesses would be appreciated because I never measured it when I first started.

Pic on the left was a few days ago. I weigh 160 pounds. I get a different reading every time I take my BF % so idk what it is really.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

[QUOTE=squesto;1524224971]Hi all, thank you so much for doing this. I have been on a cut for ~1.5 months and am wondering if I should keep going or start bulking. My goal is to get stronger (Bench / Squat / Deadlift 2.5 / 2.5 / 3 plates, currently 1RM at 220 / 215 / 275 lbs) and achieve an athletic physique. Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Hi again everyone! I continued my cut from 10/29 and am now ~135lbs and am still on 5/3/1 triumvirate. However I don't think there's anything noticeable with how I look and am hoping to get your advice regarding what my body fat % is and what you think my next step should be.

I don't know if it's a matter of not having enough muscles to show even as I get light / a loss of muscles / combination of both and whether I should continue cutting or start a lean bulk. If I continue cutting, should I reduce my cal intake? It is currently at ~1,700. If I go on a lean bulk, I am thinking ~2lb gain per month would be good, at ~300 cal surplus (i.e. ~2,500 cal).

Thank you very much!

I’d say about 16% now and maybe 21% then.

Around 11-12% Time to lean bulk IMO.

Just finished an 8 week cut, lost about 10kg ( 22lb's ). Just wondering where i am at body-fat wise, image attached.

Height: 179cm
Weight: ~85kg ( 187 lbs ).

That sounds good. I’d aim for 6 months. Pay attention to the mirror.

Sorry when you say pay attention to the mirror, what should I be looking out for? Should I am to stop when I am at ~16-17% (assuming that means I lose any abs outline?)

Thank you again, I really appreciate it.

I am 1m65 cm , with about 62 kg. Can you help me calculate the fat %?

I’d say about 15%. How long have you been cutting?

About 3 months

measure your waist right now. go to fitwatch.com and use the body fat calculator there. once your waist gets up to the point it's saying you're like 14% then stop and cut back down to what it says you are now. rinse and repeat.

[QUOTE=bhicks3712;1535143711]About 3 months[/QUOTE]

I would start maintaining.

Hi, was hoping someone could give me an estimate. However I’ve not been a member long enough and don’t meet the link posting criteria, so if you could check out the gallery photos on my profile, that would be smashing! 195 lb’s, 6 ft 1.

Not me obviously.

John Krasinski claims he went from 24% bf to 9% in 4 months.

What do you guys think?


Also, what do you think Spiderman/Tom Holland's bf is?

It's been a while since I checked in so would be good to get someone elses opinion on where I am at now.

Im 5"10, 167 pounds.

Would also be nice to know how many more pounds you think I should drop before considering bulking (im thinking I should go to around 15%). I've been cutting for about 3 months now, down from ~194.

Hard to say what Bf they actually are. In movies, they’re using the best lighting possible, special effects/editing, and they’ll do a pump workout before getting on set.

They’re probably around 10%, maybe a bit leaner.

About 20% Get down to 15% at least. 12% would probably be better, but depending on how well you retain your LBM during the cut, that may not be the most feasible.

Thanks, do you have any idea how much that would be on the scale. I'm guessing 150 would be around 15%, and 140 12%? Would be good to know roughly how many pounds I still need to drop.

If you're 5'10" and you cut down to 150 or 140 (unless you currently have zero muscle), you'll be Ethiopian. Not to mention, it would be hard to get there and still have proper nutrition. If you get to 160, I'd consider heading the other way from there. You'll start to sacrifice muscle pretty soon.

I personally think I still have quite abit to lose. At least 14 pounds anyway, if you look at my current pics im holding alot of fat still. I've been 154 before here:

And I didnt look too thin, even then I think I could have lost more weight. Not even a sign of abs there at 154.

I’d guess around 155 for 15% and between 145-150 for 12%.

[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1535179251]I’d guess around 155 for 15% and between 145-150 for 12%.[/QUOTE]

Thanks again, at least having a rough estimate gives me a goal on the scale to shoot for.

If we assume that your 20% at 167, and as long as you eat right and lose little to no lean body mass:

167 * .20 = 33.4 pounds of body fat
So losing half of that would put you at 10%: 33.4 /2 = 16.7 pounds. And losing half of that would put you at 15%: 16.7 / 2 = 8.35 pounds

So to achieve 15%: 167 - 8.35 = 158.65 pounds
to achieve 10%: 167 - 16.7 = 150.3 pounds

What is my body fat percentage, thanks.

Of course, you are the only one who knows what's best for you...we all have opinions of how we look in the mirror. Unfortunately, sometimes we go a little to far when it's not needed (I know I do). It's always frustrating when you've made so much progress, just want to begin the bulk process, but still feel like you need to cut another 5 or 10# more. Either way, you're on the right track regardless of where you go. I know that 155# would be way to drastic for me (just the way I'm made), and I'd love to already be where you are now. Good luck...you got this.

Hey, anyone estimate my bf?
Pics are relaxed and then flexed, not very good lighting.

Hey guys... posted some updated photos from earlier today (link below) let me know where you think I am in terms of body fat % and if the four pack is almost within reach . I'm thinking I'm within about 10 pounds. 6'1-6'2. Previous photos are in bodyspace. Plan is to get the four abs showing relaxed and then do lean bulk.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and don't think I can post pics to this thread yet, please go on my profile and look at my gallery pics (they're all recent) and tell me what you estimate my body fat to be
.
I'm 6'3" and weigh 189 lbs, I recently took an inBody scan and it estimated me to be at 14.2% body fat with 44 lbs of lean mass and 27 lbs of fat. I know these electrical impedance scanners aren't always super accurate and should be taken more as an estimation rather than absolute truth,

So any estimations are appreciated!
Most of my remaining fat is located in my mid-section, lower stomach area

Awesome progress! We have comparable stats ~220 and 6/1-6/2. I've been at it for a while with both gains/losses but that is remarkable with consistent loss of almost 75 down in 1 year and not far from 15%. Keep it up!
