    BF% esitmate

    hey guys...juts lookin for some help and encouragement. need to get soem guesses on my bf% right now. i'm starting to track all progress and need this for a "starting point" refference. i know i look like shit but im still proud. As a 125er all my teen years to be up to 160lbs @ 5'7" is better than sex. thaks in advance guys, and dont worry about being all nice about it...i can handle a little or a lot of criticism, whatever will benefit me the most.

    CHEERS!

    thanks for the guess pheonix . i was guessing 16-18% as per the new gut but i know i can lose that in a week... im just scared the scale dropping will put me in depression! i cant seem to find much fat on me other than the mid-section

    Back looks not bad, slight defination in arms, none in legs, fairly big gut, mabey you bloated that day I dont know? but i think 16% without the gut, 18% for you with the gut

    just to throw a little contrariness into the discussion I'm thinking with the definition in your upper back you might be be down closer to 14-15, you might be sightly cursed with a concentration of fat around lower abdomen [ I can relate!] which could mean that even at lower BF you might have that pesky little pocket, hope not bro!

    Yeah may play a part. My family has a pattern of potbellies but I think I can reduce it fairly easy

    When you dont have ALOT of lean mass, your final low bodyfat weight is MUCH lower than you would otherwise think.. which is why I'd be forced to
    say your not 15% but closer to 18-19% IMO.

    Regardless, its the progress that counts man

    I'd go with about 16% but I may be slightly out. Try adding some muscle and bulk up a bit, it won't hurt and you can cut and look twice as shredded after you've put lean mass on.

    Yea I'm workin on that now, but it's a slow go. Diet was a whole lot worse that I thought and I'm having trouble eating as much as I need to in order to gain weight. This fitness game is a real heartache if you don't have patience! Lol

    I can't even imagine what I would look like if I didn't run the trimmer EOD.

    Fvck yeah, when the GF is pissed and doesn't hit up my back it looks wooly after a week.


    Sometimes I just wish I could stop caring what I look like and just fvck it all. . . . But, that ain't gonna happen.


    Keep at it man, when you thinking about juicing again? How long has it been since you finished your first one?

    Well I'm just getting everything all lined up and ready now actually. It's been very hard not to rush back into it, and to follow the old time on = time off standard. I had my last shot mid march and finished pct in April. Last thing I need before the cycle begins is a blood test from my doc which is easy for me because I have no thyroid therefore some t levels get checked regularly. Don't want them to be all wacky and out myself to the doctor.

    Hopefully all will be ready ASAP lol.

    Cool, I totally hear you wanting to jump back on. Thankfully I am my ginormous size preventing me from juicing again for quite a while. . . .Funny, thing is I have all my shit lined up for another cycle

    Now I just measure my gains on my cycles. 2 more to go, lol
