Bodyfat Estimation Thread

6'0 // 186 lbs

In the ballpark of 18% IMO. Not much fat at all, but not a lot of lean mass either. Possible candidate for a recomp if you're just starting out.

[SideSteal]

Hey guys, Im about 6'1 -6'2, 185. Im currently doing my first cut and dropped from 195 in three weeks. Any advice as to when I should cycle would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

16% give or take? Looks decent, I think you could go either way depending on your goals. Sounds like your cut is going well (it's going better than mine based on your numbers!) so consider a few more weeks of it before you bulk back up.

Lower 20%s

[rando_commando]

I have handles remaining from before i started working out ( see sig for before pics ).
bf % estimation? how much you guys think i should lose to get rid of them , considering they will be probably the last to leave ( check before pics in sig to see why ).

edit : damn , i seem to store fat the same exact way as bob under me^^

[BOB55555]

Hey guys. Can I have an estimate also? Scale says a little over 25%, but I'm hoping it's a little less.

I'm also open to opinions on if I should keep cutting or trying some maintenance or bulking for a change.

(first pic flexed, second pic relaxed)

[SideSteal]

Hey guys.

Hard to tell, you carry it mostly just above the hips it looks like. I don't think you're 25% though.

I'd guess anywhere from 19 to 22% and if I were you I would keep cutting but that decision is personal preference obviously.

[Crazymix]

what about me guys?

[Leeroy77]

I'm 5'9 and 144 lbs. I've been on a cutting cycle the last 6 weeks and dropped about 14lbs of weight. My measurements have me at an approximate body-fat level of 12% What do you think?

Slight flexing in the front view pic and no flexing in the side view pic.

[XxSuperTrampxX]

I'm 175lbs right now, up 14 from my bulk of 4 months, I think I managed to stay fairly lean
but want a little estimate
All Flexed

Height: 5'9"
Age: 20

Weight: 172lbs
Height: 5'11
Age: 22

Since this is my first post I can't link the pictures here, so they are in my gallery. I've been cutting for three months now, even though the weight has stayed the same I'm starting to see better definition. Four years ago I used to weigh 220lbs with absolutely no muscle at all, so the bodyfat percentage must have been very high. I would really like to get some kind of estimate on where I stand now.

[BOB55555]

Guys, sorry to come back again so soon. My last picture was from jan 31. I got excited about this thread and took more today. Can I get a new estimate?

I think I improved a little bit - was trying to find my maintenance and ended up losing 2 pounds in a month. I think I will keep eating what I'm eating for a slow cut and maybe some newbie gains. What do you think?



Thanks for any help!

[bwest11]

I just started bulking for the first time and thought it would be good to have a reference.

I'm ~5'10" and 160 pounds. BB.com won't let me post full links, so you need to copy and paste the links to the address bar. Thanks a lot!

Hard to tell on most recent pic since arms are blocking part of your midsection but I'm guessing in the 12% range.

Massive as fk too.

EDIT: Stats accurate? 5'11 and 222?

Yeah stats are accurate, I'm honestly more like in the 16-18% range. Just have a lot of muscle and flexing in those pics. Cutting hard though, already down from 258.

At 5'11" and 222 it wouldn't surprise me if you're higher, but either way that's impressive, you look like a monster. I went as low as 12% due to the abs popping in your most recent pic.

yeah man, I'd love to be 12%....I think if I can get myself down to 210 I'll be damn close if not there.

[Edelmania]

hit me up with your estimates!

Sorry for paleness and poor quality haha.

[Offaperry85]

Lyle McDonald has a thread about this over at his forum, and it's working great over there. So maybe we could get something similar going over here.

The idea is: you don't know your bodyfat? Post pictures, and we'll try and estimate it for you. IME this is WAY better than trying to f*ck around yourself with calipers, or using a bioelectric impedance analysis scale, or something like this.

Make sure your pictures are taken in good enough lighting that we can see what's going on. The following pictures are suggested, in order from most important to least important:

-front relaxed/flexed
-back relaxed/flexed
-side relaxed/flexed
-legs relaxed/flexed

BE SURE TO SAY WHETHER YOU ARE RELAXED OR FLEXING FOR EACH PIC.

If you can't get all of the poses - don't sweat it. But know that the more you post, the better of an estimate you'll get.

Also, please don't post pictures that are so large that the page scrolls. Just don't do it.

Hope this helps everyone out!
