Quick Question about my BF%

[jleeno_911]

Aight guys ever since I got out of the military I've been slacking off alot with weight training. When I came home from Iraq I was a solid 185 around 12-15% BF. Now I look in the mirror and see a fat ass. I was wondering if you guys had to guess what BF you think that I'm at? I am currently 240 at 6'1" (Doesn't look like it though). I just got back on a consistent schedule and needed some feedback since I plan on doing a cycle after I get down to 220. here's a pic.

I know you cannot tell just by looking, but if I were to guess, I would guess you were around 18-24%. The only reason I say that is because your build looks a lot like mine and before I went into the Marine Corps I looked a lot like your photo and I was at 18%. But as we know you cannot properly judge by a picture. You may want to try to google " body fat calculator " and there you will find some calculators that ask for measurements. Hope that was some help bro. Stay in the fight, get motovated........shit I still run to cadence on my mp3 player I have one every other song. It made thing a lot easier to get up and PT whenever ther is a chance of being UA if you didnt show up.

It's hard to tell, to be honest with you I never in my life even had mine tested as long as I'm looking good I could care less

if you were at 12% at 185 and have gained 55lbs which is probably all fat since you havnt been working out then 55lbs is approx. 25%+ of 240lbs plus the 12% you had at the weight of 185 then do the math and I come up with approx. 37%. I'm sure theres a good possibilty that this theory isn't a good way to figure it but its what my brain cell came up with.

You look around 20-24% in my book. More towards 24% than 20%.

Check out mybodycomp.com. It's probably at best a ballpark but you can go from there.

Thanks for your service.

On the money, with this estimate imho.
