Bodyfat % Estimate?

[Jfew44]

Just trying to get a rough bodyfat % estimate from you guys. Stats here: 25 years old 6'3" 235lbs

I realize it's not a great picture btw

11-12%

I would guess just a hair over 10% possible 11%.

[Jfew44]

I swear I can get to this point fairly easy but anything lower and I lose more muscle than is even worth it to me. 11ish% is what I was thinking. I don't have a leg shot but I can see all 4 sections of my quad, hardly any fat at all there. My lower abs are always the last to go!

Yah getting close to 10% is definitely easy compared to getting under 10%. If you want to get there you will need to really tighten up your diet and count all macros. Maybe you already do? I would suggest posting your complete diet with specific meals. Include your TDEE and your goals and let the diet experts dial you in. You are oh so close to shredsville, just gotta clean diet up a bit.

Ya I got all my macros down. I was actually thinking about carb cycling. Never done it before so I'm gonna do some research on it. Thanks for the insight tho!

Join the club. If I try to get below 11-12% I lose lots of muscle and strength. My avatar is about as lean as I've gotten - but still I lost a lot of meat. Don't know how to do it, unless losing lean mass is part of the territory.

[Back In Black]

Losing lbm is almost inevitable below 10%. Also, you need to measure weekly to make sure that the loss is minimal rather than what you think the mirror tells you. Most people have far less lbm than they think they had after they diet down.

I've noticed that! I have a little something planned in the next 8 weeks. I'll post some pictures after hopefully @ around 6-7%

I'm worried BIG TIME about losing mass when I end the current cycle I'm on. I'll be moving at the same time to an island that has no gym. I can run and do push-ups, but starting a new physically demanding job, routine, etc. - along with no gym means I'll likely only be doing cardio for a few months. Even eating cleanly will be hard - there's only a small market, no Costco!

fireguy is the one you want in here for this, he is pretty good at it, but hard to tell with out back and leg shots.

[Jfew44]

I just wanted a general estimate. I'm running a prop/mast/npp cycle and trying to drop a couple more %'s. I'll post another pic here in a couple weeks and y'all can check my progress

natrual or not?

be inventive, eg: monkey bars for pull ups/chin ups, 2 buckets of water for dumbell curls/squats or lunges, push ups, etc....
