Took my time to do a background check here, as I remember you from a few weeks ago. You have lost more fat allover and currently I have you at ~13%BF.
Now it might be a fat distribution matter, but to me it looks like you are retaining water in the abdomen area... both are common so it's just an additional notice. Big visual difference incoming^^~ Feel free to PM me if you have any questions ~

Thanks, and good eye for that catch. Big visual difference as in more visible progress per pound since I hit that fairly lean catagory ?
Also, I am carrying more water as the pics I posted before I was strict about not going above 4k sodium, but recently i’ve been relaxed and using a bunch of high sodium toppings and foods. I’m trying to enjoy the cut and I’ll taper down sodium again when it stops raining where i am next weekishJuly 2019 Stats

Yes, it's the range 8-12%BF where changes become more evident as you progress. Sodium plays a part relative to water intake, by the same principle as carbs do but at a leeserscale. I'd personally up protein and lower fat for cutting past 12%BF, becomes much easier to shed the extra pounds with additional waterloss, with raised TEF and improved fat turnover. Don't go too low on salt/water/fat though, just be sensible in your approach.

Been cutting since the beginning of February. Before and current pics in my bodyspace profile. I am still learning the website/forums, so I apologize if the pictures are sized strangely. Started at around 190 lbs. and a waist of 37".
Current weight: 161 lbs. Height: 5' 9" Waist: 32"
Been following more or less a Fierce 5 program since I started. I have basically been treading water on my upper body lifts but making good progress on my lower body as it is catching up.
Bench: start 190-5 / now 185-5
OH Press: start 100-5 / now 105-5
Squat: start 185-5 / now 235-8
RDL: start: 155-5 / now 255-8
I plan to keep cutting a couple more weeks till vacation, take a break and enjoy the time with the family, reassess and then take it from there. Any and all recommendations welcome. Thanks.

Right now i’m just doing iifym approach with high carbs and calories vary each day depending on how much cardio i do. My weekly average this week is 300c/170p/45f. The water weight is largely because I love seasoning my food and using mustard and hot sauce so when i don’t care I can easily consume 10k worth of sodium

hey guys i'm about 6'1 181-182 in the morning right now and i can feel my ribs and see them if i suck in my stomach but i feel like i'm not too far away from 12-14% bf. Should i keep cutting if i can feel my ribs or am i too skinny? I feel like i will be pretty lean if i lose 8 more lbs but i am kind of scared to do it lol
Losing 8-10 lbs would put me at like 171-173
