What is My Body Fat Percentage? - Post Your Estimate Request Pictures Here - Vol III

[Luclin999]

damn that’s crazy ya pretty sure that’s what would happen to my husband if he actually lost the weight he’s always talking about but he’ll never give up beer, 200ish at 5’8 he’s stocky and has muscle but he’s at 30% right now he loves trump and they have the same BMI lol ������

Do you think the skin will tighten up and really that’s god damn impressive


And speaking of bf my new gym (my 24 hour closed forever) does free dexa scans with my membership level and avatars that show you what you would look like with more muscle or less bf or both

At my age, I really don't know how much the loose skin will recover but I'd 100% rather deal with that than the fat so I'm OK with it either way.

There is a place a few miles from here offering Dexa scans for $75. I am thinking of getting one once I have dropped about five more pounds just to see how much fat areas like my lower back are still hanging on to.

[hardyboysare]

i would say higher than 13 tbh I’m 14% ish maybe lower and I have no jiggle or do you think it’s just skin

Ummmm your female......

Female bf% can't be compared to male bf%. There is usually about 5-7% difference between females to males.

A male with 3-5% bf (visually) would comparison to 10ish% on a female aka very very lean. 10% male around 15% female etc.

Women always have more fat then males for child bearing e.g. bust, hips.

So in terms of 13% for a male that would be around 18-20% on a female so lean.

For you at 14% on a female that would be around 9% on male as a crude estimate.

20%ish ?

However it could be more if you are flexing in all the pictures, as that makes it harder to get a decently correct estimate.

Like it says in the initial post in this thread...

Best results will include full body pictures, in a relaxed pose, taken from front, side, and back.

Any BF estimation? Would guess like 11-12%?

Thanks in advance!!! Can't wait for gyms to reopen...

M/28/173cm/60kg

11% seems pretty close.

[yoyojazzy]

I would agree 13% would have been my estimate



Its a bit difficult to tell based on just numbers I am afraid a pic would be required. At 5ft 7 I wouldn't say its too low being 150lbs I personally would review once I got down to 150lb before considering any further.



I have you lower at around 19-20%. As for the rest of info required best to post that on the workout section.

As for your diet. Your fats are too low for the minimum requirements it should be 0.4 X body weight (so for you) = 66+ fats

So cut down on either or both the protein and carbs to compensate.

Thanks for replying, turns out my routine is all over, I'm reading more stickies now to educate myself.
Would you recommend a good bc tester to purchase?

Thanks for the estimate! Would you think it's better to stop cutting? Also - if bulking without gym access is possible in real life?

you could eat at maintenance or in a slight surplus while doing bodyweight stuff. calisthenics bulking is possible, but progression-wise a weighted vest would be ideal

may i ask what your lifts are/were like?

If you chose tio "bulk" without a gym, I would go with a ~very~ lean bulk at best. Something like 150g of additional protein over maintenance each day. As to training without a gym, there are a lot of videos posted in the past two months about that but essentially it comes down to being creative. Weighted backpack for pull-ups, push-ups, squats, 20# cat litter packages for kettlebells, resistance bands.... Etc.

[BulkingLondoner]

And I think first I should slowly increase calories/carbs, before going full maintenance/lean bulk... This might be shock for a body!

Hmmm... It was ages ago since I had to cancel gym membership. Like at least 6-7 months ago. I remember chest press being 70kg x 8. Bicep Curls with 20kg x 8. Why asking? I really want to do a smart bulk this time. And heard that going below 10% is not good.

asking because i'd like to cut to a similar physique, and i was curious what kind of lifts are "needed" for that body (although everyone's genetics are different)

how long have you been lifting in total?

Not a long time. TBH I do not have a lot of muscles. Mainly just chest. The rest is just low body fat and having a hot shower to pop-out veins. And genes from dad. And dehydrated because of ketogenic diet. I think.

I'm on a cut and uploaded 2 pics, one is 1 week in and the other 3 weeks in.
I'm currently at the end of week 4 of my cut with 3 weeks left. Unlike my best cut ever, which was 1.5 years ago where I got to 11.2% bf (according to Dexa scan) I was all the way down to 173lbs, right now I'm 188.8lbs, my 3 weeks into cut pic was 190 or so.

Can y'all give me estimate on each of those 2 "progress pics". Thanks. I've found this thread to be pretty accurate, in fact I contended I wasn't 14% before then got a Dexa scan and it was confirmed I was 13.9% lol, you guys are good at estimating.

[Amsterdamned]

Can someone please gauge my current fat%? Thanks!

12%

22%

[eod8989]

Kind of fat but whatever lol

[chadwr85]

22%

Sorry, I'm gonna wait to see what HardyBoy has to say.

22? Thats laughable plus I have 2 pics there and even the fatter of the 2 isn't even 20%.

[Luclin999]

Sorry but that is definitely over 20% BF.

The guy in the "20% example photo" on the first page of this thread looks leaner than your current pic.

[chadwr85]

Sorry but that is definitely over 20% BF.

Sorry bud, but you're absolutely mental.
In this very same thread you got pegged at 13% with plump love handles hanging over the side and less rib visibility than me, plus far less chest and shoulder mass. I dont know if I'm 13%, but 20% is so laughable.

Again, I'm waiting to see what hardyboy says.

[Amsterdamned]

12%

I did a 3 points measurement and the sum was 8mm

1. Next to belly button 3.5mm
2. Chest nipple: 2.5mm
3. Upper legg 2mm

This would yield me a fat% of 2%?

Obviously I am not 2% but I don't understand this ****.

12% seems a bit steep - I'd say 10% based on this photo

Look at my edited post above yours and compare yourself to the "20% example" pic.

[chadwr85]

Look at my edited post above yours and compare yourself to the "20% example" pic.

You dont know what you're talking about. You post a pic of a guy you say is 20% that has plump love handles, no chest separation or rib visibility at all and try to say I'm 20% when I have a flat stomach, some rib visibility, you're nuts.

And you think you're 13% but have the nerve to say "Amsterdam" is 12% with so much more visibility than you that its unreal.

Again, I'll see what HardyBoy has to say because if anything he's accurate.

[Luclin999]

You do realize that the person you are saying is "accurate" is the one that said I was at 13% right?

I would agree 13% would have been my estimate

For me personally, "13-14%" is a total guess on my part as it could be higher even up to 16%+. My fat/skin is a mess due to being stretched all out of shape from years of being morbidly obese which causes it to droop and "puddle" down around my lower back and stomach making it harder to estimate. And honestly, I'm Okay with that because it simply is what it is.



You on the other hand...

Amongst the fattest on this thread probably but no shame lol. 5’8 dude down to about 205 lbs cutting from 250 at the beginning of the year. Cut out alcohol and sugar (mostly) and following a pretty strict 7-800 cal deficit eating a whole food diet focused on protein and good fats. Workout wise doing a 3 day bro split with either all body training or HIIT on the other days.

What do you guys think my BF would be? Think I’m probably around 28-30%. Goal is to cut to 15% or so by end of year, hopefully at a weight somewhere around 170 lbs.

Hard to tell because you are flexing in that photo (Like it says in the first post of this thread: " Best results will include full body pictures, in a relaxed pose"), but keeping that in mind probably between 25%-30% (28%ish).

Ayy my bad, missed that, will keep in mind next time. Thanks anyway. 28/29% seems about right.

[Audrawt]

29 % how is the condition??
