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

You're right the lighting sucks, pics looked way better on my phone. I'll have to retake them soon. Thanks for the response!

Ty brother

It’s a little more strict than that now since I’m doing Lyle McDonald’s RFL until Feb to kick start things and then slipping back into just plain old eating less and lifting

I’m a fat lard now and doing RFL is some quick and easy lbs while I’m here

I dunno what RFL is but if it says ‘eat no carbs’ that sounds like terrible advice

[dweeegs]

It’s a short term crash diet and I am aware. He’s pretty up front about what it is. It’s a take on a PSMF

Uh, but you said you’ve been doing it for like 10+ weeks... aren’t PSMF’s supposed to be very very short term?

I broke a week for Christmas to eat at maintenance. Was right around thanksgiving through Christmas, break a week then back on

Depends on your leanness. For lean people yea. He puts his users into 3 categories based on how fat you are and I’m definitely in the last category. He has lean doing it for 12 days max before breaking, that in between doing 6 weeks max, and then my category for 12 weeks max before breaking. I can’t remember the bf %’s off the top of my head for each category but I want to say sub 12% for 12 days, 13% to low 20% for 6 weeks and then above that go longer

There’s different variations on a PSMF but from what I’ve seen of others it’s feel free to go longer if you’re fatter basically. That wiki mentions modern takes on it can do 6-16 weeks but if I was leaner I would not think about that

You dont look any different than the last time you asked. Changes come slowly, unless your weight has changed significantly over the last month don't expect your bodyfat percentage to change.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. When do you think it would make sense to repost? I know I'm being impatient. I'm just worried that my motivation is dipping.

What are you trying to do, because you lack muscle. If you are trying to build muscle then spend at least a year just focusing on that and getting stronger and stop worrying about a bodyfat estimate.

When you see significant changes in the mirror then come back and ask for another estimate.

About 17%

Intermittent fasting is just a eating schedule. It doesn’t burn extra fat.

I’d say closer to 32%

[phattytophitty]

5´8
Left picture is 204, right picture is 175

Dont be misled by the lightning and angles, the right picture is the best i look with the right picture. How far down should i cut cuz my abs arent showing, probably due to the fact that i never train them (should work on that).

Likely 21-22%, but post another photo, relaxed pose, with your arms down to sides.

Based on THAT picture, your height, build, and estimated lean mass...

I'd put you between 25% and 27%

Chest is 51" at the moment, waist is 37" if that matters. Arms 18 1/2"


I'll see about another pic.

I’m basing more on peak muscular potential at your height.

A 6-1 or 6-2 natural bodybuilder on stage totally maxed out at like 6% BF would be like 190 on stage... which means about 178lb peak LBM shredded.

If we assumed you’re carrying a decent amount of extra water and food in your system compared to a stage ready lifter, we might estimate your current total lean mass at around 185.

So if you had 185lb of lean mass now at 245lb, you’d be about 25%

However, assuming you haven’t totally peaked your natural potential, it might be a little higher... so I just gave the 25-27 range.

Cool. I won't be stepping on stage, just cutting a bit for summer. I am 238 as of this morning after a few weeks of 2400 cals. I'd like to end up around 215-218, so I'm assuming I'd need to be closer to 210 before going back to maintenance.

Since I have been lifting for just shy of two years, there is a zero percent chance I am near nat limit, so I'd say you are probably pretty close.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what I look like with 20 lbs less fat. I think I started early enough, so time will tell.

[Lana4242]

Can someone estimate my body fat percentage? want to know where I'm at and if I should continue my cut or do a maintenance phase to build some muscle.

height: 5'6"
weight: 115lbs
measurements: 23.5inch waist, 36/37inch hips

age 18.

thx in advance

[Lana4242]

Been cutting for almost 5 months. Should I keep going 'til the end of Feb or bulk now?
I think my BF is somewhere 16-18. What do you think?? I wear mostly smalls now

Age: 25
Height: 5'10


Thanks in advance!

I think you're already quite lean. I'd recommend doing a maintenance phase to focus on building muscle because if you've been cutting that long it's likely your metabolism has adapted quite a bit and it's usually a good idea to do a maintenance phase every few months. I'm in the same situation, I've been cutting since July 27th (Actually 6months damn) with some refeed days or diet breaks here and there but I'm not sure what to do either. I just got an acc here and I posted, if u could give me feedback too i'd appreciate it.

Your BMI is only .1 points from being clinically underweight....

No, do not cut more....

The fact that you're even asking is kind of concerning.

thanks for the feedback. I think I'm body dysmorphic because I honestly think I could lose 5-10 more lbs of fat. do u think I look lean or skinny fat?

You definitely have some concerning thoughts about your body... you don't have fat to lose right now without risking serious damage to your health.

The fact that you can't see how tiny/lean/and fit you look is shocking to me...

You are leaner/fitter looking than 99.99999% of the population. Try to focus on more important things... you're young... try to enjoy life, enjoy food, don't worry about the small things.

Thanks for your feedback. Not the most knowledgeable here but judging from your pictures, you have an incredibly fit physique and most people would call your body their dream body. Your quads are really well developed. Your waist to hip ratio is damn near perfection. Some would say you’re competition ready. And the fact that you’re only 18! Personally, I don’t think you should lose any more weight. You could maintain or bulk up if you wanna add some muscle.

this is my goal bodyfat% though, do you think I'm anywhere close to her?>>

Stop idolizing other people's body's, it will lead to serious issues.

You should not be losing any more fat...

thank you!!! I'll probably end up cutting a bit more, and then start a maintenance period, I can't help myself, I still feel a bit fluffy lol.

Jesus Christ... seriously... did you listen to nothing I said?

You're knowingly becoming anorexic... you're walking into a terrible lifestyle right now... fix it before it ruins your life.

I've just had stuff going on lately, I'm stressed. Normally, I have a healthier relationship w/ my body and care more about getting stronger and building muscle than being really lean/skinny. it's just temporary i think. I appreciate u tryna help but I'm good honestly.
