Donnie I'd say around 12-13%.

Thanks
Closer to 12 or 13? :O

[Donnie_Darko]

id put you nearer to 14%

Really? damn... lol...

[casey234]

Could no-one give me a good guess? It's just interest, I know I am way too skinny there but I also know I won't ever get so low again, so I won't be able to measure it with a caliper.

Really? damn... lol...

Donnie, different guesses here. I would honestly go with 12-13%, closer to 12%. 14% is WAY too high. You're starting to have visible abs. At 14%, you have outlines, but not really separation.

Cheers for the insight man...Yeah the pictures doesnt really show it but my top four abs are starting to pop out...

I think il go with 12.5%.

Thanks guys.

Not sure why you want people to guess. It doesnt look healthy and actually quite frightening. Im not even sure if those pics are even serious or trolling.

Put on some mass, eat everything in sight then post some pics after you gain a good 20 lbs or more.

12-13%, probably 12%

thanks, I was actually thinking closer to 13%, good to see i'm not too far off!

Can someone look at my pics and estimate my body fat? Around what body fat percentage should one start bulking?

[Insight]

Front relaxed. I'd place myself at ~24%. 5'10 188lbs

you're about right, low-mid 20s. I started cutting about where you are and looked the same. 23-24% is a good guess.

6'1

205 lbs

Exscuse the acne...dang genetics.

first pic is unflexed, second is flexed.

Low-mid 20s as well, a bit lower than Maakk

high teens getting close to mid teens

[Insight]

Sorry to hop in but I'm just wondering because there don't seen to be many female 'guidelines'. I've recently started bulking, what do you think my bf% was before? This was right before the end of my cutting cycle:

you weren't "cutting," you were becoming anorexic. The point of cutting isn't just to lose "weight" and get your ribs to show. The point of cutting is to lose fat while keeping muscle. I have no idea what your BF is because I'm bad enough at guessing for girls anyway, but you are in serious need of help if you let yourself get that unhealthily skinny.

I recommend going to the female BB board and asking over there, they might be able to help you out.

Anyone have an idea for me?
Thanks alot guys... :P

low teens

[Insight]

hey guys... BF% guess? cuttin for summer, just like 99.9% of the bro-ulation hahahah. anyways, coming from 27% BF @ 267lbs to what you see in these pictures, @ ~205lbs, 6' 3".

One was taken immediately upon awakening, just to make sure I didn't have any fluid retention or bloating going on. The second, from PWO that day! Thanks again. Sorry for the bad pics! (relaxed in both!)

damn, the difference between pre and post workout is striking.

I'd mark you up near around 13-14% or so. Interesting to see how you store fat compared to me. You get the inner ab separation first but not the outer. I get the outer first but not the inner. You're a bit leaner than I am though, I think I'm 15-16%. Can never quite pin it down.

the only photo of yours i see is in your avi and it's really about what you feel comfortable with. i'd peg you to mid-high teens. You could start bulking now but keep the surplus low so as to not put on a ton of fat. or you could try to lean out first. or you could eat at maintenance and "recomp" slowly.

a lot of people advocate the latter approach but i'm lazy and like rapid change. which would you prefer?

abs are flexed.
