    Bodyfat guesstimate

    Stats
    Age 29
    5'11" 190lbs
    bf% ???

    Just looking for a rough estimate of my bodyfat with the pics I've provided. Those bf% weight scales you stand on I find are inccurate.

    I'm curious at what everyone says. The pic in your Avi looks much different, any reason. I will guess at approx 14 -15 %, So we'll see what the others say. ...crazy mike

    I'm not very good at this but since I can't see your legs, going to be vague and say maybe 12 or under. It could be a bit higher, but hard to tell for me LBM at 115% would be 161.5 vs 167.2 at 12%. I could see you being somewhere in there, but who knows. I use bod pod for readings and even that has factors that can throw it off. And the bioelectric ones are terrible. Had one put me at 29% and one put me at under 21%.

    Now that I have headr the others I will say 12-13 % instead of the 13-14%. I do really think about what I changed to 12-13%. You look good and I'm now at about where you are and I've rough checked (not the pod) and I'm at 12%. with a little old man shin. Good luck again...crazy m

    Off to the gym with my hernia again...........cm I'm being careful not carefree..................

    My avitar is from a few months back. I'm probably 7 lbs lighter in my new pics.

    I was wondering if guys were going to say something about leg pics. I didnt know if i should bother because litterally all of my bodyfat is on my chest and stomach. On my quads and calves its just skin sitting on the muscle. My back, pretty well the same cept for the little I have on my obliques. I could always take some if it'll make a difference in the guessing not really

    thanks bro appreciate the kind words. been a long road to get here but I'm happy with maintaining where I'm at until at least this fall. Then I'll start bulking again.

    I only wish I could make my mid to lower abs pop more. I'm going to start going heavy on weight exercises instead of mainly crunches, hopefully that will make a difference.

    12% seems like a decent guess.

    So there you have it. I had you about right on due to what others said. You're off to a good foundation IMO. If you would drop some carbs and lose the water your abs would come right out, I think. But if no show I'd keep the bulk. Good luck ...crazy mike

    PS: "Papa" I think you have his BF% a little high, and that's my story. ...cm
