5'6" 180lbs - Am I anywhere near 20%?

Anyone?

[juggernaut74ia]

Anyone?

I'd say slightly over 20%

[gloreNx]

thoughts? 5'9 168 lbs 17 y/o
cut or bulk?

[derivxinteg314]

I would say 14-15% right now, I personally would try and cut down to 200 which should put you somewhere around 10%. It really depends on why your cutting and what your goal is though.

Oh wow, I was thinking more than that tbh. Ive had ranges from 11%-17% which these pics and other pics, so I guess in between. (14-15) would make sense. Thanks

[FrizzleFry008]

Weak, skinny fat. Curious of body fat estimate, and opinion if I should bulk or cut the fat first.(Noob lifter)

153lb 5'9

[derivxinteg314]

Whats your height and weight? Also I say bulk personally (with not knowing your h/w)
As for bf% I couodnt guess that. Im terrible doing that with pics, let alone my own pics. Maybe 20-21%

[derivxinteg314]

I stopped training for 2 whole years because of severe depression. I am so grateful to be back on track. I started training again 11 weeks ago. I REALLY fat and extremely unhealthy. Anyway for 3 weeks I basically just did prepping, or getting used to weight training and diet again. For 8 weeks ive been cutting now. Anyway, please let me know what you guys think my bf% is. I'm 5'11" and 210 right now. I know its only been 2 months of cutting, less than 3 months of overall training again, but I'm just idk. Not happy with my results I guess. Let me know bf% please. And how much more i should cut. Was 242 now 210. Thanks bros.

Btw, I just ate a meal before I took pic 1. So my stomach is full. :-/

Anyone else?

Id say about 20%. However I would still bulk, albeit clean bulk. A lot of that fat will actually go away initially with "noob gains". Also once you develop some more muscle, the fat won't be nearly as noticable. Plus if you cut weight now, you will end up a twig. Good luck man! Just my opinion.

what do u think about mine?

[derivxinteg314]

You serious? lol.
Maybe 10-11% tops, maybe (probably) less? And bulk. But you know this. You'll be huge in no time.

u think that im about 11 bf on pics that i posted above? i thought it looks more like 15

[derivxinteg314]

No. I'm almost 100 certain it's lower than 15. The pics...yeah around 11% at most. It's hard to tell with pics though. I mean look at mine above. Someone said I was 14-15 and i swear I was more. I do have a lot of muscular development, but still.

i have like 4 pack ,and u cant see it without good lighting. Thought that 10-12 bf means a decent sixpack

[derivxinteg314]

Only if you have a developed six pack to begin with. Like on my pic..you can see my "4pack" along along with my belt showing....with a layer of fat, water and full stomach (just ate).when I'm.down to around 12% my abs show through really well becauae my abs and belt are pretty big and developed (almost too much if that makes sense).
People who need 10-11% or less for their abs to show more is because their abs arent as developed as much. In some cases abs won't show until less than 10% depending on ab development. Generally rule is around 10% for abs to really show, but like I said, depends. I know someone who is around 8% bodyfat and has hardly any abs. It's a flat surface basically. No development at all.

Looked more closely. Pic 1 looks that low. Pic 2 a little higher looking, not much though. Maybe 1.5-2% more.

[Derekcerva]

My torso gets lean much slower than the legs ):
estimate plz, thanks.

[Louisedge123]

Need help. 137lbs 5'10 male. Been cutting for 7 months ...yeh ..ages I was about 25-26 percente when I began this journey now I am here. to get body fat down to 10% was the goal where am I now 12...13...14? Electric impedance said 12.6 I don't know how accurate that was!

[glybera]

Hi week 9 of cut (started 5 '9.5" 148lbs, now 139lbs, literally 1lbs lost per week on 1700kcal 150g protein, 60g fat, 120g carbs) My legs are ridiculously skinny, all my fat is concentrated on the lower abdo, I probably have an inch of fat as I can feel abs under there. I think part of the problem is my lower abs are very untoned making the area look even flabbier.

As I'm stalling on lifts now and looking ridiculously skinny in clothes I am planning on recomping for a period.

Any guesses? I'm thinking 17/18%.

17% maybe (probably alot few % lower). Hard to tell. Looks like a bit of excess skin. Great work man.

More accurate than posting pictures and asking here tbh. And it's probably about right.

I think it's higher than 17-18. More like 20%. However this is another situation where you really need more muscular development. So I would start bulking muscle (clean bulk) asap. You can cut all you want, but if you don't have muscle to show for it, you will remain soft, no shape, or end up a stick. Usually when people are smaller and "skinny fat", I still recommend bulking and Strength training for a while before you start cutting. Start muscle building man.

Hello, 5 11 160 lbs. Can check my bf please

[Postmanmatt]

I'm thinking about doing my first show at the end of October. Firstly do I have enough mass to be competitive? And do you think I would be able to get into competitive contest shape in 10 weeks? I am 6'2 215 at the moment

Im also looking for a body fat estimate. Thanks in advance

Relaxed


Flexed

[zimmer89]

5'9" at 179 lbs I have some loose skin around the mid section and lighting isn't great. any input would help

[MouthForWar]

12-14%.

Thanks for the estimate, thought I was much fatter than that to be honest. Here's another pic, do you guys still think I look below 20%?
