Looks like about 15-17% to me...good base

I would say 17 is a high estimate for where you are at now. I worked as a personal trainer for almost 5 years and did tons of bf tests. If you were 17 you would have overhang in the gut are which I dont see. I would have to say 13 or 14 percent in my guess and maybe 17 when you started.

ok........ the last couple of people who said you were 13% or 14% are on something !!! (bigp3 and muscleup). Oak, or the guys that said you are 13% or 14% Look at the thread above you "mikeyboy604" who wants people to estimate his BF% and people are saying he is about 13% or 14%, now i think he may be a bit lower then 13% or 14% but look at his pictures and then tell me if you are as lean as that, because then if you are that would make you about 13% or 14%. Now in my honest opinion i think you are between 20% and 24% BF Range !!!

Now have you been low carbing it like i suggested ? what is your diet like right now ?

Nuff Said

I got sick and could hardly eat for two weeks so I didnt get a chance to low carb,now my diet is high pro,mod carb,low fat,but I have decided to bulk up after talking to some people,and worry about cutting when I finally decide to do a show,this time I plan to keep it very clean and possibly lose bf while adding lbm as I will be roughly 500cals over maintenance

im getting my bf tested soon to be sure since I have never had it done and I have been told I will look fatter then a taller guy since I have less places to store it

edit- I do keep carbs low at night and only have carb to kick off my day and pre and post workout,and those are oats and whole wheat wraps,the rest of the day I eat tuna,and other meats and shakes

you can disagree with me if you want and I agree that it is hard to tell from pics. All I know is I have done hundreds of BF tests and that would be my best guess from the pics. I could be completely wrong though.

In my general experience when guys get above 16 or 17% they have guts that hang over their belts which I dont see on him and when you get in the 20's there is serious over hangage in the gut area.

Alright lets split the difference here. You said he was between 20 and 24% BF. He said he weighed around 210. If he was 22% at that weight that would mean he has 46.2 lbs of fat on him. Go to the butcher shop one time and look at a lb of fat. It is about the size of a junior league footbal. Now ad 46 of those to someones body and imagine what that would look like. There is no way he is that high IMO.
