Went from around 210 to 190 so far, got 2.5ish weeks left before i start lean bulking. Fell off last august after getting injured and spiraled outta shape to 215 lbs, the first pic is roughly where i was at 9 weeks ago, i mightve been 5 pounds lighter max when i got home from school in may.
Some people in post your pics were saying i was 20%BF+ in my most recent pictures, but i cant really see that i was thinking at most 16-17%...
Before Cut-
Week 9/12 of cut-
Down about 20 lbs, lemme know how you guys think im progressing and anything i can work on, also BF guesses appreciated.

yeah those pics were taken in winter, but my physique didnt change much til i started watching my diet and working out religiously again when i got home from school in may, and thats the only before pics i really had to show how much i fell off from enduring my shoulder injury, mighta been 5 lbs lighter in may when i started, but not much of a difference. not trying to fool anyone lol.
EDIT- Gonna take another pic just before i go back to school to see how much progress i made in total this summer, unfortunately while im away its difficult to cut because im in a fraternity and the environment lends itself to excesssive drinking lol. but ill be eating clean and be back with lean bulk pics some time in feb after these last pics i plan on snapping toward the end of august.My success is achieved by reaching failure.

Thanks man yeah ive been working out for years so i know i have the muscle base to look good after this cut, just never really completed a successful one before. Always been the one in the group of friends that just works out a lot and ate whatever, never cut, just a bigger dude.

The problem with estimating body fat is no one takes a picture of legs. Many people hold a bit of fat in their legs too. You cannot base estimated body fat off of just stomach. I've seen some people at 13% body fat with very nice abs and still have fat on their legs.
From the top look, I'd estimate about 17 to 19. Kind of tough to estimate either way. Just take measurements and follow your results till the look you want.I Rep back always. Put it in comment.
500+ will 100% get repped back.

Also as a quick sidenote, im pretty sure i maintained almost all my muscle, i maxed on BP earlier this week and was able to lift more than i was at the beginning of the summer, hit 275 for 1 twice, so if this lean bulk goes well i should be closing in on 3 plates in the next few months!
