    Fat!

    Can anyone else in the low teens pinch fat like this? Unless I am mistaken and am in the high teens.

    Your is most likely more of a skin issue. Have you lost a lot of weight/fat?

    My skin is quite spongy. Im also on cycle so I am not sure if water retention can feel like fat. I was 215-220 in the 20-25%ish range before a cut. Here is my before and after. Not sure of previous bf. Just wanna make sure I am not high teens because this planned bulk cycle might not be wise if thats the case.

    You definitely look lower teens in the second pic.
    Great work btw.

    Some people just have loose skin.
    I would say thats mostly what you are pinching

    Looks like a lot of loose skin with some minimal subcu fat, and you’re grabbing handfuls so looks worse. If you narrow the pinch and get get a thin bit between thumb and finger it’s skin. When there’s fat there you can’t help but pinch it and it’s 3/4” - 1 or 2” thick. Weird images compared to the before/after you posted in which your skin looked taut and your muscles were filled out. It’l like an in between pic or you’re older now. Hard to say % with the limited pics you posted this time.
    Google skin fold test and look at images.

    Only reason I showed up on this thread is because I read the title and thought someone was calling me out.

    The black and white after pic is from about 5 months ago. The current color photos are from 2 days ago. I have gained 7 pounds since the after pic.
