Need a progress update!
So I’ve lost around 8lbs from my last estimation which was around 20-22% Just wondering how much I am now. Also how far am I from the six pack picture? Current weight 80.7kg how much will I need to get down to for me to look like that? Pictures in bodyspace
Thank you!Last edited by shahzoo; 02-13-2020 at 05:49 PM.

Looking for some advice about bulking/cutting/recomp as well as a BF % estimate. (I'm thinking ~20%)
I've only been working out consistently for about 1 month. I'm 157 lbs currently and have been cutting the whole time, down from around ~162. My ideal weight is right around where I'm currently at except.. lower body fat and more muscle obviously lol. I'm thinking of bringing calories up to maintenance and just recomping. It seems a little counter intuitive to me to cut down to maybe 145-150ish and then bulk right back up to the weight i'm already at.

Hi All,
6ft, 180 lbs.
Looking for a bf estimate. Navy tape test puts me at 13%.
(Before pic) Returned to training after a long time off, started cutting at -500 cal, high protein, while just compound lifting 3 x pw, 6 weeks ago at 181 lbs.
(After pic) 6 weeks later weighing almost exactly the same at 180 lbs!
Looking for before and after estimate and advice on whether to continue at these calories or reduce further. Cutting until abs before lean bulk.
Cheers

I never said it was all water weight but some will be some will be fat. How many calories are you eating below your estimate maintenance TDEE. As what % is water vs fat no-one will know 5 weeks is just not long enough on a cut IMO as the first week or two you may still technically be in a surplus/ maintenance of calories over a prolonged period (e.g. caloric average for fortnight/ monthly). Switching to a deficit takes time for your body its not a on off switch.
If you want to lose more fat just keep going. I am in the same boat I have lost 5-6lbs since beginning of January and the effects are not massive yet. Although I know for me the next 10lbs will be massive changes just keep push foreword and ensure your workouts aren't suffering.

Hey there.
Been doing this thing for a couple of years now... I'm somehow interested by bodyfat % estimates, but even more about second opinions on what I plan to do in the coming months.
Right now, I'm 5'11 and 185 pounds. I try to eat around 3000-3250 calories a day, pretty much all of which is clean food. I'm working out 5 to 6 days a week, mainly in an bodybuilding fashion (never going quite under 6 reps per set, and going with good form/focusing on muscle contraction more than lifting the weight up).
I plan to keep eating 3000, 3250, even maybe 3500 calories of 6 to 8 more weeks to gain as much mass as possible, and then cut down a good 5 to 10 pounds for the summer.
Is it something that I should be doing? I gotta say it's mentally challenging. I feel fluffy as **** right now and I know if I don't get out of my comfort zone I'll never build any new muscle at the point I'm in in my training journey.
Thanks for your help!

Body Fat Estimation
Just wondering if anyone can give me a body fat Estimation..
I am currently 89kg, 6 ft 5, 22 year old male.
I haven't been in the gym for well over 9 Months and just started training again this week and wouldn't mind a plan if anyone has any suggestions.
Before all of this I cut to 79 kg and looked extremely thin whilst still holding a fair amount of fat around my hips :/
I honestly feel like my body type is a bit weird due to fat around my hips and lower stomach not really sure what to do about it
Pretty devo I let myself get back to this state but my ex and working 3 jobs contributed to me having no spare time.
Hoping its not that high. Honestly really want abs but feel like I am wasting my time because even when I cut right down I still have bad fat around my hips

Around 19-20%. You should start off with eating maintenance calories and following a progressive training program such as Fierce 5:-

As you previous bf% request was around 13% and you have gained 9kg since then I would say the 19-20% mark is close:-

If you haven't been to the gym or weight trained the likelihood of building muscle will be minimal. You should attempt maintenance training for a while and get back to regularly weight training.
I would say weight train around maintenance calories for the next 4-6 months then review your progress and see if you need to focus on one direction or the other.
