Thanks! Your estimate made me very happy, and makes a lot of sense (almost every time the scale changes these days I notice some visual difference in the mirror). Legs are also quite lean (I can see my quads when standing relaxed and some separation when I flex them).
The fat distribution is annoying as hell and probably rules out "bear mode" as a possible look for me to aim for. I was watching a form video I made the other day and my first thought was "wow, I am starting to look really lean", until I turned around in the video and I thought "...that's a dad bod".

I agree with Adam's estimate and yea that's a very interesting fat distribution pattern. It definitely rules out "bear mode" with being predisposed to that upper abdominal fat but your back looks quite lean & you do have a very solid V-taper even at that size, which is probably the most important part of an "aesthetic" physique imho. Still, I'm thinking 17.5 or maybe even as low as just 17% overall.

Whats up guys, I'm new to the site, could you help me out giving an estimation about my body fat % ? pictures in my bodyspace or whatever is called (sorry if image quality is not very high, let me know if that cheap phone just won't make it)
A bit more about me:
Age: 36
Height: 5' 7"
Current weight: 170 lbs
I have been obese most of my life so I started cutting 6 months ago, I have lost about 50 pounds so far. I guess I still have to lose about 15 pounds more before I'm lean however I don't want to go too low because I'm also very lacking in terms of muscle so I want to lean bulk a bit once I'm somewhere between 15%-18% body fat, thanks a lot.Last edited by jaguarmx; 04-16-2021 at 01:24 PM.

Totally.. he could very well be 17%.
I know for my part, even though I still think i'm about 10-11% max, when I don't flex my abs, I just don't have deep insertions so my stomach is almost flat/smooth.
But as soon as I flex or tense, you see all my abs... some people have abs while sitting down and hunching over because their insertions are just super super deep in.
So in fact, he may have more definition than I can even see there."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

Hey All,
Stats: 5ft 9.5in 169lbs
I recently posted on this forum exactly two months ago to get estimates, and I was pegged at 12-14%. My goal was to get to a no question 10%. I have dropped 8 more lbs in the last two months and was wondering if I could get another pair of eyes on my photos in my gallery to see if I'm there yet. I have been cutting since March of 2020, so well over a year, and I am down from 207 lbs.
Thank you!

Body fat percentage update
Don’t notice a lot of difference from when I was given ~15% body fat about a month ago, but wanted to have check and pics in my profile and see if there were any changes. Lifting weight and trying to cut. Plan to stop between 10-12% and start Lena bulking. Just trying to be a bit more cautious as I move lower.
6’2”
Weight 196-197 lbs
Age 33
Thanks

Thanks man!
Generally 10% is a good low threshold for most people because going lower than that you'll likely feel pretty crappy if you try and sustain it, and gaining strength and muscle get's hard if you cut below it. Plus, really, it's not going to help you in terms of appearance to almost anyone."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

Hey guys! Would appreciate your opinions of my %
6ft 3

Been out of thr gym for circa 3 years due to shoulder issues. Had surgery last August and now ready to go back to the gym, can't wait! Love handles are embarrassing.... Been doing pull ups and push ups the past month to build a little strength up where I can...
As I typed this I realised I can't attach pictures, I have added them to my gallary. Thanks for the help
