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

[calvilloIsGod]

Well keep in mind you are asking for a very close BF tolerance without any pics of your legs.

Legit 9% you start to see feelings, so yeah the calipers are gonna caliper. JMO throw the calipers in the trash, it's one more thing to worry about you don't need. If you said 14% I don't think anybody would argue with you much about it.

Still, even if the number isn't relevant, calipers are still useful to track whether you gain or lose body fat, no? Even if we're just talking in terms of skinfold MMs...

[EjnarKolinkar]

It's not a good indicator though. It's just good to track progress.

Why? If it's not a good indicator, and we already have many other much simpler and faster indicators its fluff and a waste of time.

40 years from now will we look back at our caliper logs and feel they were a good use of time? Who really is 10-15% BF and does not have a general idea from the pics in the OP?

[numberguy12]

FWIW if you just started training recently it's uncommon to have low BF. BF is in essence a ratio of muscle to fat, influenced by both muscle and fat. IMO the less training history the harder to estimate BF. It gets into real guesswork. People try to fix untrained status with all manner of diet and exercise gymnastics. Becoming trained is the main thing, and managing any significant BF overage.

Tricks are all bullcrap, almost everyone has to work steady in the gym for 1-2 years.

I see your point. I do think there is some value in knowing ones body fat % in the absence of resistance training though. It wont always be very high, it will still depend on the calories (fat) they intake and expend I assume.

First two pics are unflexed. Third pic is obviously flexed and last pic is where I was roughly 6 months ago. I'm 200lbs 6'3. Thinking about doing a 4 week IF cut because while I'd like to keep bulking I'm tired of the gut and bitch tits forming. Thoughts?

Yeah i dont believe in the 9... even under the measurement of a caliper...

You asked the legs, so here they comes lol.

I request a more precise feedback just to clarify to me, where i'm compared with the buildlean bodyfat images

(i cant link images yet... so just google buildlean in the google images to see the male scale of body fat)

thanks again

[Tucane]

Hi Tucane! Would love to have your approximation on mine a bit higher!

I'd say 14-15%BF.

About 12% for arms, 11% -> Torso and 14% @ legs.

I'd say ≈12.5%BF overall.

Around 21%BF, with uneven fat distribution.

I say cut away, then hop back on the slowbulk-train when you feel ready.

[amartin315]

Back again, after about a month. This time I went for gains. Do the following pics (January vs March) look like good progress for a month's work? (January wasn't a gain month so I don't count that.) Am I adding fat here. That's gotta be substantially muscle. My pants still fit the same. Good? Because I'm considering going to 4 or 5 workouts per week up from 3. And this will influence my decision. I figure I might go back to cutting sometime around May 1 and try to lose 8 lbs in that month for summer.

I am 190 in the first pic, 195 in the second. Same body fat percentage?

[calvilloIsGod]

I'd say 14-15%BF.

Thanks! I think I limited my fat gains in this bulking phase. This is the first time ever I commit into a clean bulk so I'm pretty pleased with the results, though I feel like most of the mass gains have been distributed in my legs (huge progress on squats lately)

Firstly, welcome to BB.com!

As for an estimate; you look to be around 20%BF.

[Poyerm]

Hello,

I am trying to get an estimate on my body Fat %. I am approximately 5'9 and about 175lbs. I have been trying to get a six pack now for quite sometime. I consider myself to be very active. How long should it take me to reach that goal do you think? I am a newer member so my pictures will be on my profile gallery if someone could take a look. My main one is my main profile picture. Thanks!

[fuuuark]

Anyone?

183lbs 6'0

[Dsrt]

5'8" 160lbs (started +170lbs) been cutting for ~8weeks now.

Dunno how much more I need to cut until six-pack, whats my bf?
Should I still continue my cut or go back to growing more muscle. Dunno if I have enough muscle to look good @ low bf yet.

6ft3 236.4 pounds - About to Start Cutting

Not sure how much I need to cut to reveal Abs. Have been training around 5 years, full natural (obviously). Never cut, always been on the perma bulk lifestyle (lol). Training at home for a few months now. These pictures are a few weeks old, but Ive been carefully keeping the same composition and weight (finished bulking, was maintaining before start of cut + a bit of yoyo'ing).

Last time I measured at this comp with calipers, It said I was around 17% but I don't believe it, I was thinking atleast 20?

Any opinions would be appreciated, would like an estimate of my bodyfat before I start my cut.

Couple of questions:
What do you think my current BF is? 5'9 / 168
What do I need to do to get visible abs? And how far away from that am I?

Cheers

[Tucane]

Should be about 22%BF, so I'd say cut further.

About the 6-pack, it will take time and you might not have it (well defined) cutting down the first time. In that case you need to build your core (and other muscle) first... then cut again.

Bodyfat around 16%.

It will take months, how many depends on how big of a deficit you're running. Also this assumes your core is already built.

Around 25%BF.

I'd guess you have about 40 pounds to lose.
