body fat guess!

galioth13 · Mar 15, 2010

well i just turned 21 in november... ive been lifting for about 4 years... but only got serious into body building about 2 years ago.... i'm 5"6.5 i weigh about 175 ish..... i just tried something different with my diet and bulked from 165 to 175 in a few months... and this is where i;m at today... i had a guy that competes at my gym tell me today that i was around 19 to 20 percent body fat.... i was thinking that i was around 13 or 14... so i figured i would ask yalls opinion.. i;m not to worried because i am a naturally lean person.... it was so hard to gain this much weight for me natural... i also wana know if yall think i should cut? or just continue what i;m doing? i plan on doing my first cycle... but i dunno if i should cut first or what... the cycle is a test only cycle... at 400mg per week.
i call myself natural... but i have done 2 cycles of pro hormones... once when i was a stupid teenager... at 17... and once about a year ago... i didn;t gain anything off the first... cause i was a dumbass... and the second time i was 20 and had gotten my diet down pretty good and gained about 10 lbs and lost about 5 afterwards...lol
my arms are also around 16.75....also i havn't done abs in about 8 months.... or longer... i really hate them...
sorry about the quality of pics... the lighting is horrible...thanks for any advice you can give....and i know my legs are tiny....23 inches... thas why i;m embarassed to post them..lol

but i have been working hard on them lately... well the past year really

I think he is off, I would say your guess is closer...

14.57%....err i meant 14.75%

Pushinw8s · Mar 16, 2010

18-20% from looking at the pics.

HawaiiMuscle · Mar 16, 2010

the first pic you look close to 18%, but the rest closer to 14%. Its hard to tell with these tiny pics and the light quality.

Thebigone · Mar 16, 2010

I dont know how some people come up with such ridicously high #'s. You are not even close to %20. Your more like %13 maybe 14 tops

17-18 if you hold fat as I do.

robot · Mar 16, 2010

This is what I look like @ about 12-13% for example

robot · Mar 16, 2010

This one about 6 weeks ago looks fairly close in bf % to your pics.. I'm 209 in the first picture and 220.8 in the second with a bf of about 16-17. So I was probably a tiny bit high with 17-18 but 16-18 is a good guess.

You tell us: 10%

pesty4077 · Mar 16, 2010

I hate you. Are you hiding the 12% in your back and legs.

kscowboy · Mar 16, 2010

Im guessing that pesty is about right on. I would say 15 to 16%. Im about 16 right now and look about like you. Actually i might be a little leaner than you but i am guessing we are about the same.
