Can I get a bodyfat estimate? The scale says 22% but apparently

>>40356595
22% isn't far off Tbh

>>40356631
ah ok thanks

>>40356595
I doubt 22% OP.
Maybe 17-18%?

>>40356595

looks about right. Maybe more around ~25% . You got some work to do... fatty

looks like 30-35%

I think probably 35-40% OP

Somewhere around 40-45%, better up your game anon.

>>40356763
Are you fucking blind or just retarded? It's obviously 45-50%

>>40356595
50-55%

wow what a fucking dumb faggot
thats surely nearing even 55%

>>40356595
80%

>>40356595
You're about 15%-16% body fat..

Don't listen to these morons on here, you'll start seeing more ab around 14%, then gradually more as it goes lower..

The scales, if its an electric current one, will be shit unless you're hydrated.. this means if your piss aint clear you won't get the right result.

>>40356595
about 17% lad no meme

>>40356595
20-22% imo

Can i get an estimate? Not sure if i should start my first bulk or wait until after summer

>>40356595
What scale? What does /fit/ think about Tanita scales?

>>40356595
I'll never understand why anyone guves a fuck about their bf%. Just look in a fucking mirror. Do you like what you see? No? Then it's too high. It's so fucking simple and you fucks go out of your way to overcomplicate EVERYTHING.

>>40356891
Alright buddy try not to ree yourself out

>>40356891
Exactly.I don't need numbers to tell me that I don't have the ab definition and veins I want.

>>40356875
start a slow bulk now, you'll look good through summer

>>40356875
23-24%

>>40356948
Retard. That's about OP's number and this guy is a bit leaner

>>40356855
he is not 15 percent.

he's high teens for sure. You can literally see a big pouch of fat at his gut

>>40356891
Lifting used to be a simple activity but internet nerds discovered it and now shit has been made complicated. And not in a good way.

>>40356940
i barely even weigh myself anymore. numbers and percents don't matter. veins and abs matter.

>>40356957
Kek, OP's at least 35%.

>>40356595
Turn off the Instagram contrast filter and stop leaning forward and then maybe we can give you some constructive information.

>>40356960
He has a small amount of ab showing, thats literally SPOT on 16% dude.. and could be less/ more depending on where his body holds fat more etc.

>>40356595
18-20%
>>40356875
13-14%

>>40357035
You have no idea about body fat do you?

I don't think you should even be concerned what your exact body fat is right now, you just need to cut

I'm 16% and I'm far leaner and more defined than OP

He's around 22% like the scales told him.

>>40357386
Yeh, no you're not 16% body fat then lol

The fact you can't recognize ops body fat, shows you shouldn't be estimating your own..

His weight class is 285, i can tell ya that much.

Im thinking 20-24%

>>40357585
He hasn't got the protruding gut, (where the gut starts to hang) and desu he doesn't even look close to that, so yeh I agree at the closer end of 20%

>>40356855
How the fuck would a scale be anywhere near accurate judging bodyfat?

>>40357566

Sorry, i was talking wrestling weight classes. They jump from 220 to 285 at the high end. What i was really trying to say is that he doesnt weigh less than 220. More around 240

>>40357649
8%

>>40357626
Are you just retarded or pretending to be retarded?

They're called body fat analyzers..

they run a light electrical current through the body to measure body fat, bone density and lean muscle mass.

Look it up

Like I said anyway, they're not that accurate, but much better then most forms of fat measurements, like calipers.. so many retards think they're sub 10% because of those.. Sub 10 is comp level and no one stays there for long..

>>40357654
I was agreeing with you tbf, just I think hes closer to 20% then 24%

I have more definition than half of this board, you mongoloid.

>>40357695
they are bad.

the hand held thingy goes from right arm to left, ignoring lower body

the scales go from right leg to left, ignoring upper body

I had my fat% measured in bod pod, which is second only to the bath tub in terms of accuracy, and the number I got there was about 145-160% of what I got on those wastes of 30 dollars.

I mean, you can still track progress with just that tool more or less, but the number is so off compared to bath/pod its not even funny.

>>40357739
You aren't even 10% bra..I hope you're avin a giggle...

You're a good 16-18%

ctrl+f for things like electrical currents going through chest.

I'm gonna give you a simple example. Ya know those electric massager thingies? You stick em to your body it feels good. You put em all around your heart and you are gonna fuck up your cardiac rhythm and die, which what (YOU) should do anyway.

>>40358022
Just to confirm there, the study you linked, doesn't even come close to proving your point.. at, fucking all.

Also the massagers..... aren't a high enough current to effect your heart.. a pacemaker maybe..

whaaaaaat?

Solid 15%.

>>40358360
It has citations. It's pretty amusing see you continue to make excuses for completely being BTFO. Bodybuilders regular compete at BF levels in the 3-4% range.

Here's a very credible link for you since you're so picky about your sources:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074666/

>... these percentages are lower and might reach 3% for bodybuilders
>Three percent is the lowest level of essential body fat needed for males to survive without hazardous health problems

Can you go ahead and just admit you were wrong and move along?

>>40358360
Not him but you can literally see the reference at the bottom you neanderthal. Accept that you lost and no more arguments, you just want to have the last reply like a child

>>40358400
They really fucking dont.. par 5% is pretty much your essential body fat, lower then 5% you've got a pretty high chance of death

>>40358343

>the nig nog guy here

bro bro, I know what bf% is, I am making fun of the picture. like the fucker has no understanding of how mass, density and volume relate, if he thinks he can erase some of the info, but leave enough of other to get what he erased.

>>40358343
This link doesn't prove your point. in fact it suggests that no one goes under 5% as its essential body fat and you die.

>>40358096
Literally all of those pics are 5% higher than they should be except the first two.

>What's your argument

My argument is thinking that someone with abs showing and obviously not geared is 20+% bodyfat is delusional. I know you're not very smart but try to comprehend.

>>40358475
Not at all..

3% is the lowest an individual person may need, but most people require 5%. Its a dangerous game, which is why people tend not to go so low..

Ok I'll bite,

You realize might reach 3% could actually be referring to the only body builder who in recorded history went bellow 5%, so yehs your peer reviewed paper is correct, however the context you're attempting to use it in isn't.

>>40358626
>You realize might reach 3% could actually be referring to the only body builder who in recorded history went bellow 5%
It isn't. If it was it would say that. This is what it says:

>Three percent is the lowest level of essential body fat needed for males to survive without hazardous health problems.
See that? Males. With an S. Plural. It is not referring to one body builder in particular. It is referring to men in general. This is a complete quote from a peer-reviewed research paper that proves you wrong.

Stop posting. Stop accusing me of trolling. Admit defeat and move on.

>>40356595
The scale is right

>>40358648
It says might, you can't take that as 'body builders go bellow 3%' you're quite literally wrong here.

why do you think in the study no one was sub 5%?

If you read the study, it actually proves the points i've been making.. it says a bodybuilder might, which is a very important term within academia..
The peered review paper proved my point.. if you can find legitimate source proving any body builder is sub 5% apart from Munzer, then you'll have won. However atm, you're taking a peer review out of context and wrongly to prove a point you understand nothing about..

>>40358648
Anyway the original argument was stating that the photo you shared was not bellow 5%, which is definitely isnt..

I've also never suggested people don't go bellow 5%.. just that you're retarded in believing people do this often. As a stated, there has been ONE person in recorded history to do this, and he died because of it.

The peer review you posted, also doesn't suggest people do this, just that it MIGHT happen.

You haven't provided any information apart from one study, which suggests people MIGHT go bellow 5%.

Are you in high school? Are you actually 14?

>>40358854
The fact no one IN the study went bellow 5% works against your favour as well, from the study YOU posted.

so im a skinny motherfucker and somewhat short (5'8) and I'm 130lb rn and cutting, but it feels like ive made no progress in terms of fat loss. I cant see myself with low bf% without going to at least 120, and im worried thats too low, am I wrong?
