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

[IriniTs]

Hey everyone! I would really appreciate some help with my bf because I have no idea how to estimate it! Photos are on my bodyspace (the last 3). Stats: 1.71 m / 5' 7", 61 kg / 134,5 lbs

Being on a caloric deficit now in order to loose some fat after a long pause from the gym. Before photos are also on my bodyspace, so I would love to know also my bf when I began.

Thanks a lot

Anyone willing to help?? Thanks again

Finished my first cut, could I get an estimate please. Three relaxed photos attached. 6'4, 185lbs.

Hi Guys! This is me. I didn't know this thread would exist, I only found it after I searched "estimate my body fat" to see what subforum was best.
So first I took not exactly relaxed photos.

Instead, on the left two of flexed.jpg, I got a very slight pump (mostly arms) and I wasn't really happy so on the right one of flexed.jpg I pumped my abs and chest and arms just a bit more. In all three of flexed.jpg I'm flexing! (additionally you may want to note that the angle is from a bit high (cuz it looks better).

However, after i found this thread and saw that it requested unflexed, natural poses, I took some natural ones, which I'm including as unflexed.jpg

This is completely relaxed. (Though may have a slight pump from the steps I took above) - I'm not flexing at all.

My height is 5'10.5" (179 cm) and my weight is 181 lbs / 82.5 kg.

So this is me. So I have two questions:

* What is your estimate of my BF%?

* WHAT WORKOUT (AND DIET) REGIME DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR GETTING ABS THAT SHOW! (I'm flexing my abs in all of the first pictures, as you can see to no avail!)

Could you suggest SPECIFIC exercises as well as whether I need to cut very drastically? Right now this is what I do: I do leg lefts; planks; bicycle crunches with a lot of extra weight, and, sometimes, use an ab isolation machine in the gym. Obviously this is not enough. So if you know how to get me abs, let's hear it. Also thanks for any estimate of my BF%. I know "abs are made in the kitchen" so this is why I'm not sure if I need to be cutting more or working my abs out more!

Thanks, everyone.

I'd say about 26-27% in the older picture and 22-23% in the newer picture.

Approx 16%.

[Michael3011]

Sorry for the poor photo (and the horrendous PJ shorts...), but keen to hear from this photo people's estimations on the abs.

Thanks in advance guys!

5ft11, 32" waist, 28 years old.

I'm not thick replying to my own message, but I wondered what people think now? It's 3 months on. One big holiday of eating and drinking, and wondered what people make to the progress? If any? And what I'm looking at now in terms of body fat.

It's slow progress - not meant to have a 6 pack.

Like most - I'm after the abs for the summer holiday...

20% (thinner for woman than 20% for a guy.)

I didn't get any opinions here but in another thread (where I referred to this one) they suggested that I'm probably at 22%. This seems a little high to me. Can I please have a second opinion (based on my attachments above)? Do you guys also think it's 22%?

[Abeadrian2220]

Can i have estimate please 6'0 175lbs. Coming from 260lbs. Thanks in advance. I figured out my weighing scale is broken. I was 2lbs heavier in all weighing scale i tried. So i guess my weight now is the correct one

Pretty close 20 to 21%.

[Abeadrian2220]

Thankyou sir

You're welcome, keep up the good work.

Hi guys

Newbie to the forum but I've been on low carb for a while and started lifting a few months back

182cm tall, 83kg.

My tanita says 19% but keen to get your view on how accurate that is, and maybe how far to try and cut, etc for the best outcome. Thanks!

[justinlmd]

Hi all, first post. I appreciate any help you can give!

I am 5' 9.5" and started the year at 162 lb. I have cut down to 144 lb (as of this morning), but still think my bf% is quite a bit higher than my goal of 12%. My questions are:

1) Can you all help with an estimate of current bf%? I have a few pictures in my Bodyspace

2) I have been doing P90x to cut and am almost done with week 9 now. I am obviously lacking in muscle, so I'd like recommendations as to whether I should continue working towards 12% before I begin bulking, or if I should start now.

144 pounds seems pretty low for my height. I have a long torso and short legs, so I tend to store fat around my midsection. Legs have hardly any fat at all (I am also a runner). Thanks in advance for any tips!

[Dlifter2106]

Hi
Is there anyway to get a bf percentage if I haven't posted 50 posts yet?

[Dlifter2106]

Forget that... I've added them to my body space. They are the only two photos in the gallery.

Please could I get a body fat estimate?

I'm 30 years old, 212 lbs and 5'10. Both photos are naturally relaxed.

Thanks in advance

Ignore tanita. Looks more like 13% to me.

I'd say around 16-17%. I wouldn't cut much further as you don't have a lot to cut down to.

35%

[justinlmd]

Thanks! (Was hoping for 15% but I'll take it, considering I was well over 20% to start)

Would you recommend relatively short bulk/cut cycles for a beginner such as myself? I would hate to regain the fat I've lost, since I will be starting at a higher bf% than what I typically see recommended for bulking to begin.

[Partyrocking]

I'd get down to 15% and then slowly bulk. No more than 2lbs/month for at least 6 months. Then when you cut again, you'll have more to work with. If you bulk at 2lbs/month for 6 months, and then cut at 1lb/week for 3 months, you'll be at the same weight you started at, but should have more muscle and less fat.

[Dlifter2106]

35% is a killer. Gotta get started

One quick bit of advice and then I'll not post again about it on this thread if you will. I don't have much lbm and have too much fat. What approach should I take in terms of nutrition (I know how to calculate macros etc - that's not what I'm asking). Should I cut because of the fat or should I build because of the low lbm?

Thanks

Cut first. No doubt about it. Lift weights during the cut to retain what LBM you have, but you definitely want to cut first.

[Dlifter2106]

Thank you very much. I did think this but needed someone else to confirm it as I found myself between the two. The journey starts here!

Hi

yes, you are allowed to post attachments. (This is what I did above). Just click "go advanced" and then attach your photos directly to your post.

[Ally2]

What about now ?

[Partyrocking]

What about now ?

I'd say 21-22%

[Brisfitgirl]

Can some members please estimate my body fat %? The scale told me 25% but have been informed the scales are not accurate. So far one member said the scale looks like it actually gave me a lucky guess, but would like to head a few more estimates to know where I am at, then I will udate my body space in about 4-6 weeks.

Height 5'3.5, waist 26.5, abdomen at navel 28.5, hip 35.25, bust 35.5
Weight 57kg/126 lbs
