Hi! I've been working out for two months and intermittent fasting for over 4 months. I'm doing cardio 3x a week, eating less carbs but having much more protein. Nothing radical.
Lost lots of fat and I have now much more definition but the stubborn belly fat still hangs, so I'm getting a fat burner to speed things up. Sometimes I don't even think it's pure "fat", it just feels like my inner organs pushed outward in my belly XD. My marks are:
height:176cm (5,77)
weight:80kg
age: 30y old
These pics are from 20 days ago. I'm slightly better now but it's irrelevant to evaluation.

Hope your not serious, you have been doing a standup job at it for yrs please keep it up. I have been negging and blocking those that get thru for yrs as well and I get tired but I hate those spammers more lol, Just wish I had the power to remove and perma block them but I don't have the time or patience to be a mod lol
Most of these guys in this thread NEED some brutal truth. Skinny with no muscle does not equate to low bf lolLast edited by charlievanriper; 10-17-2022 at 12:35 PM.

What's my percentage?
I have a Renpho scale. I'm wondering how accurate it is.
I'm 5'6.75
140.6 pounds
My goal is to look like Diego Schwartzman (top 10 tennis player) since he's my height and weight (listed as 5'7 141 pounds). Not sure his body fat percentage and how long it will take me to get there from my current shape.

My guess on that guy would be about 14%, but he could be leaner (some guys don’t have visible abs unless they flex)
Btw his bones may weigh more than yours in which case you will need more muscle than him to attain that body composition at his stats. Not all fat free mass is muscle.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Thank you for the response!
I do have one more question to ask and I'm fully aware I'm a bit late in replying to your post lol.
Can I also just start to cut down to around 15% body fat right now or less (based off what you see on my pictures) and continue eating at maintenance? (If my exercise progression is still going up.)
If not, how do I know I've built a good base before beginning a cut?
My squats are reaching close to 200lbs and what's bothering me the most of my fat percentage is the noticeable gut I have on my stomach. Some people have pointed it out and it's been bothering me for a long while.Last edited by acruz7439; 08-24-2021 at 01:42 PM.

Originally I was going to wait until the end of my cut to post here, but I am so close to the end of it and had a refeed meal yesterday, that the results that I have now ought to speak well for my physique without "diety" manipulation like volatility from fasting, water levels, etc. Currently I'm on a program to retest my maxes that will last one more month. Past that, I'm not sure if I'd rather continue cutting or train at maintenance over the fall.
An honest bodyfat estimation would be appreciated. Was aiming for 20% but I'm most likely still above it. If so by more than a little bit, I'll probably continue cutting until easily 18%.
6'2"
239lbs as of this photo, upon waking up hydrated and well fed the prior day
Note: I am standing with good posture but not actively flexing like for a pose.

My best guess would be something like 22-23%. The side shot is blurry so it is hard to judge and there is no back shot which would help. You have a lot of muscle and holding the weight extremely well IMO. I’d probably cut to 220 lbs if I were you.
Your forearms are almost the size of my biceps LMAO.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

I've started an aggressive cut after not working out and eating crap for almost 6 months. I've lost a lot of mass in the meantime, so I'm eager to go back on a bulk to recoup the lost muscle. I plan to cut to 14-15% and then start a lean bulk.
Where do you think I am now?
Height 188 cm
Weight 95ish kilograms.
Note, I have very, very underdeveloped abs, causing a pelvic tilt, if that makes a difference.Last edited by Sapien148; 09-07-2021 at 08:07 AM.

bf?
Hey!
What would you say my body fat is? Started lifting weights about 4 months ago, I have been obese for a long time and then lost weight to about where I'm now.
My upper body looks a lot leaner than my lower body, especially the thigh and butt area.
I'm currently cutting because IMO I look fat.
21 y/o

Help please
157.5#
5’4”
33 years old
Pics in body space (I think? I hope lol)
So I’ve been working HARD for 4 months, and my weight hasn’t changed which is fine because I was adding muscle, but my scale BF% is exactly the same at 32.5% which is obese for women… I am achieving all my goals except no longer being obese
I think I’m closer to 27/28%… can I get a second opinion please? I 100% understand I am no where near going on stage at a low percent but I don’t want to be unhealthy fat anymore.Last edited by vventure23; 09-11-2021 at 09:57 AM. Reason: Added age

Hello there, I have been bulking for 2 months now and wanted to check if I was still under 15%. I had to diet for god knows how long to get down and I'm setting 15% as my max now to keep it in smaller chunks
Pic 0 was my starting in early July, around 170
Pic 1 is current, unflexed, around 178
Pic 2 is current, after a pump (also around 178)
I think 13% ish?
This is my first true bulk and I would appreciate feedback on how it's going as well or how the physique is (and what's lagging), even though that's outside of estimating bf%ChemE in education, SoftwareE in job
Live slow, Die whenever SLOTH LIFE
