Hey guys, I am currently bulking and have reached a point to where I am not sure of what to do.
6'0, 185 lbs. 20 years old.
I will include a few pictures below, I am looking for a general body fat estimation, and also an opinion on whether I should continue bulking to my goal of 190-195. It is a lean bulk and I am eating just above maintenance to gain about 2-3 lbs. per month. Thanks for the help and feedback in advance.

Thanks for the feedback, was expecting a number a bit lower than this however. Any second opinion or someone confirming this would be great, thanks.Originally Posted by WorldClassDBag

Id say ~22% but could be higher. I personally would cut, I can tell you have some muscle and would look more aesthetic if you did a mini cut. Depends what your goals are.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I was thinking bulk up 4-5 more pounds but after seeing these responses I will definitely consider cutting.Originally Posted by cosm0

Definitely below 20%. I would estimate around 18%
A short cut could be beneficial, but keep calories just slightly above maintenance would be my reccomendation.
You could certainly use more mass then cute while keeping strength up to maintain the mass you gain going forward.

I'd say around 18-20%.
I would go on a lean bulk and add more muscle before embarking on a cut.

I myself estimate myself 20-21%. I think we are the same BF composition. I'd say get more muscle, its amazing how easy it comes if you work on it consistently for like 1-2 months. Then start cutting (what im doing at the moment).
Attaching a pic just for comparison.
