Body fat percent estimate help?

[BlueAce11]

I'm sure this question gets asked a ton so sorry in advanced... I tried a body fat hand held scanner and the results came back at 14.6 percent. Does this sound about right?

Looks about 15% to me.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve heard people say get to a low body fat percentage like 10 before starting a bulk however I don’t believe I have enough muscle mass to support a low body fat percentage... is where I’m at right now alright to start bulking at?

You do have some muscle. If you lean bulk you will minimize fat gain.

Would say higher 10%

Sorry, I’m having a bit of trouble understanding what you were trying to say

I'd guess anywhere from 14-16ish. When I am 15% and I flex I can see my top 2 abs, but its a little different for everybody. heres a pic of me at 15% from awhile ago

Thanks man, appreciate the input!

I'd say you're at 15-16% right now. What you should cut to prior to bulking will depend on your priorities, but starting at 10-12 and ending around 15 is pretty common.
