Body Fat Estimate please

[Scotty21]

Hey could you guys give me some feedback on my body fat. I'm currently bulking for a few more weeks, although I'm really wanting to start cutting ASAP.

6 foot
215 pounds

[austinite]

29%.

[Scotty21]

29%.

Really that high?!

[boxa06]

My guess is 25-28%

[austinite]

Really that high?!

Yes. Being conservative, too because I cant see the wheels. I know it's not what you want to hear. But you're up there. Go into ketosis bro.

Headed to that part of the forum now.

Really that high?!

one big clue is how the "bellybutton" recedes in like that. that means at least a half inch layer of fat in the abdominal wall

[< <Samson> >]

Right around 30%. . . . Just going by my biggest when I was at 27%.

[zaggahamma]

wow guys i was thinking 20

[austinite]

^ I don't think so. I'll pay for a bodpod assessment if he is anywhere under 25.

[zaggahamma]

dont u mean 29%?

[chi]

plus 25% easy

[MuscleInk]

Yes, about 30%. Probably higher than you expected but a lot of people under estimate their bf composition so don't feel bad. At least now you're aware and can do something about it!

[austinite]

dont u mean 29%?

I'll say 29 when I see the legs.

the back can hold alot of fat as well. it's really hard to tell just by a single frontal half shot

True.

OP, I hope I didnt sound harsh, kinds seems like I did from going back and reading. I replied to your PM, if you have any other questions Ill be more than happy to help.

didn't sound harsh to me mate. OP wanted a sober estimate. he was just a little surprised we were throwing numbers at him as high as we were....

[Scotty21]

Yeah no worries about being harsh! It's the truth. Just means I need to work that much harder on my nutrition and implement more cardio... I've already cut my daily calorie limit.

Best of luck to you buddy. Looking forward to your progress.

[MickeyKnox]

difficult to say without more photos. could be 25, could be as high as 30+. need at least one more like Aust said.

[ironbeck]

24%-29%

[Scotty21]

Here are the other shots you wanted. Les are nothing special. Solid and thick with no definition. My backs not flexed in the pic because it took some awkward positioning to get the shot. I don't think my back looks that awful?

[Scotty21]

Also- I moved to a cut diet today. Around 2300 calories with 30 minutes of cardio. Realized it's easier to eat less- the trick is keeping your protein up. I'm making egg whites as I type.

[Scotty21]

And I've taken your guys advice and am focusing more on cutting. Sitting around 2400 calories today, although not as clean I would like to. I just made egg whites to up my protein intake for the day.

25 - 30% range. Here's a decent guide for you with actual pictures:

That was posted on here in the nutrition section too.

I like those pics, they seem quite accurate and give a damn good bench mark. Probably just as accurate as the usual methods of checking Bf% - Bod Pod not included.

[martymcfly85]

I too would estimate 28-30%. Bump that cardio up to 50 minutes minimum. Eat like a champion and watch that % fall
