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

[Andrew578]

About 20%. At 17 I wouldn't bother with counting calories and eat to hunger.

I would stick around maintenance caloric intake which would be based on hunger cues and not getting stuffed. If you eat mainly nutritional food sources with a solid amount of protein and only a small amount of empty calories (80:20 is a decent ratio) you should be fine.

Based on your previous ED history I would seek further guidance from a trained professional if needed. And not get too hung up on the small details eat enough to maintain your hunger and weight whilst progressively overload on a balanced training program.

Thanks man, also I am currently undergoing TRT. As my levels were super low. I have 125mg does every 3 months. Would this help or do anything?

And would it be hard to progress at maintenance, I have been training off and on with an injury for about 9 months

[Leaky8]

Around 15%

Oh really? I thought I was higher tbh okay thanks bud

[MCrow]

Oh really? I thought I was higher tbh okay thanks bud

I'd put you more at around 18% myself. I would say the torso front is around 15-16% but the back looks higher.

Okay I appreciate it I thought I was higher then 15 tbh

Either way 15-18% doesn't really matter. My advice would be ensure you are not cutting. Either maintenance training or bulking the choice is yours and how long you have been weight training.

TRT may help level the field if your T-levels are below average but won't cause significant advantage above anyone around your age due to the elevated levels of testosterone during adolescent.

As for eating at maintenance, during adolescence you are generally primed to build muscle under nearly all conditions (except extreme caloric deficit) therefore its the best time to utilise this by ensuring you are eating enough. That said you don't need to monitor calories as its not advised for adolescents due to the complex stage your body is in. We just don't know how many calories your body needs during this stage of elevated hormones so trusting your hunger cues are best practice.

Hey peeps,

Can I get a body fat estimate based on the pic please?

I started training a little less than two years ago and I feel like the time has come for my first cut. Aiming for somewhere between 10-15% bodyfat, and would like to know where I'm starting from. According to the Navy method and the bathroom scale, I'm around 20-22% which seems about right to me.

Hello. I'd be grateful if you could approximate my body fat percentage.

I'm 18 1.75m 61.5kg

I've been training about 6 months I was 100kg now sitting at about 80kg

[jourdannick]

Body space.

6’1ish, 163ish lbs

About 7-8 months into strength training program now.

The first few months were spent in a deficit. Still flip flopping between idea of cutting vs bulking. I eat in a college cafeteria so it’s hard to count my calories. Lately I do my best to shoot slightly above maintenance but I eat a lot of unhealthy food.

Can’t figure out whether I’ve been progressing at a decent rate or moving slowly since I probably don’t accurately count my calories. I have some pics from June in my body space as well. I am about the same weight as I was in June. I’ve been down to 154 and have been as heavy as 168.

Thanks in advance.

If you guys could give me an estimate and some advice because I’m honestly not sure what I should do. Right now I’m going the gym 3 days a week, should I go more? Should I bulk or maintain? I’ve been going to the gym for 6 months. The first 2-3 months I was gaining too fast in weight (but I was making great lift progress) but I was getting chubby so I deicded to maintain the past 3 months. I’ve basicaly stalled in a few of my lifts. I want to get rid of that skinny fat look of skinny arms and loose chest.

[Mesut1]

Hello, may I get an estimate ? Flexed !! 183 cm, 76 kg atm

[hardyboysare]

I've been training about 6 months I was 100kg now sitting at about 80kg

At 6ft and 80kg it is time to start building on an effective training program. What are your major lifts like squat, bench and deadlift 1rm or estimate.

Cutting too much longer will just make you look skinny.

How much strength increase has occurred during those 6 months?

Yep I agree on the bf% and you seem to have adequate muscle mass to cut down to that range so aim for 15% then review how lean you feel when you get there.

15-16%. You need to be bulking at 6ft 1. I would advise bulking at a rate of around 1.5-2lbs a month and aiming to get around 180lbs before even considering cutting.

About 19%.

What are you major lifts like (1 rep max) and what program are you running.

[hardyboysare]

13-14% around about

[JohnLeyo]

Front looks about 14%, arms around 15% and back 19%.

Just a touch higher I have you at around 19-20%. Solid amount of lean mass.

Thank you hardyboysore! I’d rep you if I could, but I’d have to rep a bunch of others first. Cheers

Really buddy? Rude af!!

Imo you could have stopped at thank you. There was no need to explain why you weren’t repping. No one asked for it!

Geez, sensitive much? I don't think anyone asked for your opinion on my post either. I don't spend all that much time here, so I'm not constantly giving reps around like they are participation trophies. Therefore I can't rep those who are more deserving of it, like the poster who answered my inquiry, because I've repped him recently.

Hi, can I get an estimate on my bf please? pic in my bodyspace titled 19th Dec. I'm 5'7 and around 147lbs. thanks in advance.

Lol It isn't rude it states on the button when you try repping

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to (insert name) again."

He was just telling me he was grateful for the estimate. Reps aren't required anyway got to keep this thread going and its no problem to me :-)

19-20%

Bf estimate? I’m guessing around 15%? Pictures were taken upon waking. Not flexed. Currently cutting hoping to be 10% around 195lbs.

https://imgur.com/a/gSqQS4N

Between 16-17% would have been my estimate.

You know what I take it back. I read that wrong.

What I read was that “you would rep if you could but you HAD TO, as in WANTED TO rep other people”. I just realiZed you meant that you were on a spread with him.

Apologies bro!!

It’s a great service that hardboysare and others are providing to all of us without asking or expecting anything in return. So got a bit senti. lol
