Thanks for the input guys. I was thinking I was in the 10-12% range myself.
 
Listen bro dont listen to these guys..you are well below 10% not anywhere near 12%...im sorry but if you said 12% you do not know shit about th ehuman body or bbing...just my oppinion. I have cut many times and trained many people as a Pt...LMFAO..12%

im guesing beween 6%-8%
You people never cease to amaze me.. Its sad that ther eis so many people giving bad and totaly of base advice on this board. IF YOU DONT KNOW THE ANWSER DONT SAY SHIT!
 
The reason you dotn look fully in the range i see you are is you are holding a bit of watter and you might be flat(depleted)...
For you genioouses that said 12%...a fucking six pack will not show fully like this bros did at 12%...im realy gettign sick of bs posts

Bro....lol...i think Nelson Montana is needed in this thread..to clear things up..lmfao
 
When I heard 10 -12 % BF I almost shit. I am not as cut and I am under 10%.

Totally agree, you are sub 10!
 
i go by 8% you can see all abs flexed
6% you can see all abs while not flexing them
4% and under, you can see striations in your legs
so for you, i'm guessing 8%-9%
 
Hey Alexmichael....another oldie like me and almost the same size. I am 5'9" and 180 even. I'm thinking you are at about 7-8%, just from what I can see.
 
Dude get the body fat calipers. If I remember correctly you measure in 3 places. Back of arms, stomach side, and on the quads. You then average out the three.
Hard to tell from a picture, but I think Polfajelfa is on the money

he is probably 8 % , whoever said 10-12 % has no clue on bodyfat % whatsoever .

Im 12% and you can only see my top 4 WHEN i flex them Id say he's 6-8 easy
 
I'd guess 10%... maybe 11%. I'm 12% atm and can get pretty close to that if I manage my fluids really well for a day or so. I drink 2ish gallons of water a day though, so I'm kinda perma-watery.
 
to clear this up, im shortstack, and im always right, he is at 8% +- lol
another thing you guys might consider (the ones that have their own bf measure and refferd off their own) is that diffrent people who use calipers come up with diffrent answers. there were 21 trainers at my gym, and we all were a little diffrent, sometimes up to 3% diffrent in our measuring. btw there is a 4 point caliper pinch and i 7 point caliper pinch. the 4 points are bis, tri's, sub scapula, and 2 inches above hip bone. your at around 8% buddy
 
What Shorty said. Use 7point man, 4 sux

Isn't the watertank the true gold standard? The speed/strength guy I work with has an electronic scale. For some of his guys, he'll do a few watertank measurements and compare them to the scale. Once we know your relative difference (i.e. Joe Blow is normally 2% higher on the scale than in the tank), he can use the scale exclusively and just adjust the number. What's wrong with that approach?

Also... it seems that calipers are often optimistic (or is it just me). Don't get me wrong, I love the results you can get with calipers, but a watertank that says 12% and calipers that say 9% won't actually make your abs look any tighter -- i've tried! :)
 
not sure on bf, but regardless of bf- youre in awesome shape- good work

no way, there's only 1 of a kind like shortstack...
 
whatever body fat is you look good. kind of natural look going. too little body fat may look good for contest but that superdry look is otherwise unnatural and ugly. plus at your age (and mine :o) too low body fat makes you look older.

i dont really know how to guess bf% but people always tell me i have low body fat and ask me what it is. see avatar. you don't look overly low. your skin is good and a have a healthy not too skinny look.

I have never had a bodyfat test done. I wanted to get some estimates from you guys on what you think my bodyfat is. I'm 39 years old, 5-10 185 pounds. The first pic is about two weeks old and the second pic I took today. Thanks.

Thanks to all that responded. I'm giving Karma to all. This would have been a good motivational tool for this upcoming week if my Steelers hadn't gotten their asses kicked!
(Sorry to the last few replies. It wouldn't let me give out any more Karma.)

I gotta agree here; you don't even start to see lines across the abs until about 10% BF. You're definitely below that.
 
You've got to be under 10% if you can see your entire ab set...According to the calipers Im at 7% and you can only see all 6 of mine when flexed. Granted, calipers tend to say lower than actual, but even with a 2-3% error margine, still definately under 10%.

caliper measureing lower, has nothing to do with the caliper itself, but with the person using the calipers.

Whats your diet look like?
Click to expand...
I hate to admit this on the board but my diet sucks. It is so bad that if I only eat fast food once in the day and kind of eat healthy things the rest of the day, I consider it a good day of eating. The only thing I'm good at (other than taking 3-4 IU's of growth and 200mg primo per week for the past 7 weeks) is doing cardio on a regular basis. I have a Precor machine at my house and I do 20-25 minutes per day at high intensity about 4 times per week. I also go to the gym and lift about 4 days a week.
 
3-4 IU's of growth


theres the answer...........you can eat pretty much at will.............careful though, dangerous stuff.....

What do you mean by dangerous? Do you think 3-4 IU's per day is dangerous? I recently went to a very well respected sports doctor here in Ohio and he frowned on growth hormone also, but condoned steriods. I didn't ask him why he disliked growth but plan on asking him when I go back in for some more bloodwork.

cause he must not know much about it.... growth is very safe, just not as common as test, so people tend to be talk a bunch of crap when they dont have any knowledge. now if you were taking 6-16 iu's a day then maybe you would want to take a closer look at whats going on.

AAAh , you're starting to realize you have to consider the source of the information before you accept it.

1. If your abs look like that I doubt if you have any fat on inner thigh / ass So you are definitly under 10% 6% however may be pushing it

2. 3IU a day of HGH... I think the cost/benifit of HGH is the issue. Hyperplasia sounds kewl , but I have yet to hear anyone rave about the power of hgh. You probably can get better results from AAS with the same $$$. I think there's an issue with joints holding water with HGH other than that I don't see any danger

He just used "approximate" "about" and "8POINT5" in the same sentence!!!

Gotta love the Boogeyman! :p

Thanks for that Plat thing bTW ;)
 
We used to have an option of calipers or reading device when i was Pt'ing. I always ysed the reader as it was far more acurate 3-4% error vs the callipers which have a 5-9% error rating ( combined human + mechanical) according to the manufacturer.

Bf calipers are good for nothing.

well if you want to get into calipers, there are actually 4 diffrent kinds. the ones that are at your locate health club, were the majority of trainers work, are pieces of shiat. now i bought my own caliper for my clients, it was $200 and it's been tested within 2% of measuring bf in water (the most accurate way there is).
 
Shorts bro im trying to concentrate on your post but i keep geting distracted by the bitches ass in your avatar.... ya im sure if you paid 200$ for a set they must be better than the shity plastic wobly kind they supplied us with.

I just meant that the method generally gives a lower reading than is the case. Im sure there are some caliper experts out there though :)

having low body fat and good abs can be just good luck and good genetics, despite imperfect diet and exercise habist. sort of like having a good head of hair. some guys have it, and some guys don't.
 
wow i've done body fat analysis to many clients and seen many water displacement tests for ncaa wrestling rules and you are definitely 8% or so, give or take 1%
 
Everyone holds their bf differently.. thus... it is impossible to speculate and be accurate by looking at a picture.
That said. I had a seven point test done a month or so ago... I came in at 7.5%. I think it may have been a bit low... but... look at my avatar. You are at least wher I am if not better!
Nice job... keep it up.

I agree here. growth has a lot to do with this. For me, at 12% bf I feel fat, can barely see top abs. At 10% can see abs well and veins start to show on hips. At 8 I see abs unflexed and see several veins in lower abs and hips. I stay around 10% and after only 2ius ed I was at 8% in 2.5 months, no diet change. I upped it to 4iu's and can eat anything and I have very little fat on me. Haven't measured, but way less than my last test which was 8.2%. The only fat I can pinch in right behind each hip. Caliper show's like 6-8mm there, and 2mm or less on the rest of my torso. The only thing I'm really carefull about is the sugar. I basically eat like a diabetic, so I don't end up one!

Looking good bro!
 
Definitely under 10% guys - id say about 8% I had a chat with Pro BB Lee Haney about 8 month ago, he was visiting Dorian Yates temple gym in Birmingham - he told me that to measure b/f as best as poss by sight to use the following 'formula' -

Top 4 abs only are visable when flexed = 10-12%

Full abs are visable when flexed = 8-9%

All abs visable when relaxed = 5-7%
 
When i was 6-8 % bf, my abs looked like that. I'm at 9-10 right now, so he's definitely way under. you're looking great , esp. for your old age! LOL. j/j
