    Yet another BF% check

    First off, should I post flat or pumped up pics?

    They look VERY different.

    Flat looks like 15-16% and pumped looks like about 12%.

    I figured I would hear that, I need to take some current pumped ones in the same light as the flat ones then.

    Can't do that until Friday today is a leg day.

    Lighting sucks where I took them.

    Well that sucks considering the amount of work I have been putting in.

    Here is a pic from 2 weeks ago with the lighting right......

    I'd put you at 15% - 16% based on that pic. Don't get discouraged bro; some people are able to cut that last 5% relatively easily, for others it's a struggle. I haven't been able to do it either, and the last time I focused on cutting, I lost LBM and kept most of the bodyfat.

    Just keep doing your thing, slow and consistent. Eat at maintenance and rely on cardio to create a deficit, or eat 200 calories or so below maintenance and then widen the deficit with cardio. Just don't go too low like I did, you have a base and don't want to lose all you've worked hard for.

    I hear you. It just sucks because I am not a big guy really, guess as you get older it gets harder.

    I have been doing cardio every damn morning for the last 3 weeks and while I have dropped about 5lbs I am not really seeing that much of a difference. But it is hard looking at yourself every single day so who knows. My stomach has dropped a 1/2 inch though it is just going sooo slow.

    I just can't believe I am going to have to cut down to 190ish to get where I want, I am 200 right now.

    You're bigger than me, so imagine how I feel - being this small and STILL having to worry about cutting bodyfat (and having a helluva tough time doing it too)!

    Dude look at his stomach, it is literally hanging over his shorts like an inch. No abs visible at all.

    None of that on me, not even close. Mine is pretty flat and damn sure aint nothing hanging over.

    Here is a little more variety.....

    http://www.naturalphysiques.com/cms/...php?itemid=144

    BTW I am 5'10 200 and have a 34 inch waist.

    This calculator puts me around 13%. For 20% I would be about a 37.5 inch waist.

    Not sure what all the carrying on is about - now it's turning into a 'my d*ck is bigger than yours' - but really guys, who gives a shit? We're all here for the same goals, so let's help and support each other to achieve them instead over bickering of some dumb ass numbers that are close guesses at best.

    Haha thanks bro, I wish you were right! I just look leaner in that pic due to the pose - honestly i'm about 15% right now. Working on getting down to 10% but also want to build more... still haven't been able to commit 100% either way, so i've been traveling the slow and steady road, trying to balance both goals.
