right around 22% or so. 2nd pick could stand to have your pants pulled up a bit. Sometimes pubes cause me to close attachments and move to the next post.

EDIT: Somewhere in the 21-24% range but you've defintely got a good base of lean mass underneath. Should cut up nicely.
Putting a larger range on this because I'm not quite sure. Looks like you've put on some lean mass in the past 2 months based on your progress pics (chest, arms are looking larger). Either way you're not in a bad spot, you can cut from here and you'll have a muscular physique underneath.

Thanks for the feedback. Most online calcs put me at 25% but I suspected I had a larger lbm from years of on and off weight training and the recent work I've done. I have 2 weeks left on my plan before I focus on the cutting stage and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't jumping the gun and ended up skinny muscle.

Your LBM is just fine for a cut, you wont be jumping the gun at all IMO. Just take it easy to moderate on the cut and don't do some crazy 1500cal diet =)

Could be anywhere from 15 to 18% IMO. Not much fat on you at all, not much lean mass. Would bulk IMO.

thank you, my trainer says there is no fat on me at all, but all that is skin, when you hold it and try to take it out, it goes out with you (sorry not good english) I hope you got what I mean... but what I do first to remove this skin that comes out when you grab it x_x

Body Fat Estimation please. My weight scale has been telling me around 25 to 27 but idk. Thanks. My height is 6'3 and about 237

[steveadl]

Hi guys, can anyone have a guess with me? I'm 6 foot tall and currently down to 189lb (from 240lb). Still cutting in the hopes of seeing my abs one day.

(few more pics on my Bodyspace page if these aren't good enough)

Roughly 17%, good lean mass.

I actually see it lower. You do have some excess fat on you but you've got a solid base under there. I would guess strictly on photos that you're around 20-22%. Of course, I could be wrong but I'm sticking to that guess.

[steveadl]

Thanks for that SideSteal. Will post again for another guesstimate when I've dropped some more.

[Technic]

10-11%. Very impressive physique.

Thanks guise. brb in 4 weeks

Calipers reading around 18%, feels about right
based on past experiences, additional confirmation
/ disagreement appreciated.

Currently I'm bulking. I'm 5'4" 137lbs. Sorry for bad quality.

[jigm]

Hello, back after a month of cutting. Need another estimate please. I'm 5'9 193. Both pictures are relaxed. Hoping below 30%?

[tammekas]

Hard to accurately assess but I do think you're just under 30%. I'd put you anywhere in the 25-28% range.

Can't tell due to pose and resolution, sorry.

Right around 16%?

Cheat day is somewhat ambiguous. There's a big difference between going 500 over maintenance and 4000 over maintenance, both of which are possible depending on how gangsta your cheat day is

I think 18-19% is close. You have extra bodyfat on you but great shape to your upper body. Did you lose a bunch of weight at some point? Very solid upper body, good lean mass.

Ok so i took some new pictures, please note all are non-flexed. Sorry for the bit of broken mirror on the right side of the front picture.

I'm guessing in the 15-17% range.
