Thanks for telling me. I got the 9% measuring with a caliper. If I calculate with a bodyweight of 88kg I get a ffmi of 23.1. I know my weight and height were correct so the caliper measuring must have been off. What would you guess is my bodyfat percentage in the picture?

so you're saying I gained exactly 0 pounds of muscle during 12 months of training? I'd say there is a clear difference between pic 2 and 4.

>>35796379
it's mainly because you have very wide hips and a thick core. good for strength, not so good for looks.

They sure are but i'm serious.
>>35796407
I see a lot of change in lighting, but there's not a whole lot of change in bf. like 2-3% maybe

>>35796442
Do you bounce out of the hole doing ATG squats or pause?

>>35796433
I know it's tinytrip on the pics but why does that mean I'm getting trolled?

>>35796379
how long have you been lifting? are you still making good progress?

>>35796454
>like 2-3% maybe
>I put a difference of 4%
so you called me a delusional fuck for being 1-2% off from your assessment?

I'd say about a year and a half. The first half was spent switching constantly from strength to hypertrophy type training.
I ran SS for a couple months to get some strength up and now I am running Texas Method with some accessories.

Strength progression is now a weekly thing for me

>>35796441
Hey thanks man.
I always struggled like a motherfucker when it came to gaining size.

You think that second pic is 13%? First pic is atleast 20%, probably more.

>>35796478
It's a big lift for normies.
It's alright man. Keep going.

>>35796455
I don't pause like i do on bench but don't bounce either.
Why did you ask?

>>35796442
Pic of your body?
Shit i thought that cutting to 80 kg would be enough im also 177 and have been lifting for a while with similar but slightly lower stats then you.

>>35796486

alright then you're the delusional one. I thought you might actually teach me some valuable information.

>>35796587
not that guy, you were like 23% or more in that first pic.

you are seriously retarded.

why do I even still come here? thank god I'm not a beginner anymore. I might have actually believes such bullshit.

>>35796633
nigger i am skinnier than that, and i am 21%

do i have to take a picture of my fat-ass so you see what 20% actually looks like?

nah, spare the effort. I don't care what you think 20% looks like since you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

>>35796665
that fucking filename

>>35796670
i had a bodpod test, and it came out at 21%, fucktard.

sure it isn't THE most accurate test in the world, but it is way more accurate than shitposters like you.

you remind me of a guy who was literally obese, who insisted he was 20% and no more.

it's like.. i can see your floppy titties, bitch

>>35795964
Those numbers aren't very good for 5 months, but keep going bruh

>>35796567
Miring desu
Whats your routine?
Also did you bulk up to where youre now or did you cut while lifting?

>>35796478
That's because you're fat

>>35796697
>floppy titties
you're either a troll or you need help. have a good one.

>>35796712
did ICF 5x5 and now i'm on 5/3/1 with boring but big accessories (with some more arm isolations because curls are fun)
started at 68 kg (150lbs) skinnyfat, bulked till i was like 75(165lbs) and then cut till i was back at 68 or something, then bulked again from there until now (probably will keep bulkan till march-april) enjoying the ride a lot desu

>>35796704

Thanks m8. Trying to get my lifts properly without fucking up form.
I'll def try higher today's session.

>>35796839
IDK if its an insult or a compliment but you look WAY too jacked to be that tall from the pic and be under 180 or so.

>>35796868
Definitely a compliment for me brah, didn't expect being called "too jacked" on /fit/, maybe it's because my delts pop out a lot? they're the only bodypart i'm satisfied with except my glutes(which i won't post) desu.

atleast he's not a faggot who lifts for women

>>35798818

Doubt they will.

Unlike rows, which have a pretty well established relative strength, there's fuck-all info on either lift (and both are pretty damned rare outside of contexts where the lifter already knows how strong he is or isn't).

>>35796504
When I got over 2 plates for squat I started having issues with getting stuck in the hole. Mostly my left knee buckles in when coming up. Its probably a symmetry issue with my form, but I'm recovering from torn tendons in my left foot so wondering if that has something to do with it.
