I believe that body fat percentage doesn't truly matter. My take is (choose to do this or not), but work on building your foundation of lean muscle. And depending how much muscle you build, you will look much better, even at a relatively higher body fat level.

You look like around 16-20%. I am assuming you just started training or so. Work on that there base (make your newbie gains ---- gain your 15-20lbs of muscle this year) and you will look great.

You can do this. You will achieve this. Kill it!

Thanks for the reply. From the pictures I've seen online, I'd say I'm probably 19-22%. I have a belly but my bodyfat is thin everywhere else.

I have actually been gyming for a while now, but never consistently because work and exams have gotten in the way.

In the next year though I think I'll make the gym more of a focus :)

yeah brother. My take would be for you not to go 5-6 days straight a week to go into the gym. Since you have all these things going on in your life, you will most likely burn out. I recommend a full body Workout approach (train 2-4 times a week), that is if you're interested. In fact recovery and strength/muscle gains have been much superior training this style than I did with split routines.

Also, no need to wait till next year, try it out this week or maybe tomorrow

Best of luck Brother in Iron!

I also like to add rest is key to everything when it comes to muscle, strength gains and body fat loss. I wouldn't train several days straight like that (I burned out doing so - I speak from experience).

FBW (Full body Workouts) are done every other day. For me, I like to do it every 3rd day (ex: train 1 day, rest 2 days, and on the third day I go train again) <---- Just my 2 cents. Do what you want my man

Definitely 20%+ people's opinions aren't as accurate as a body fat calculator use this to get a more accurate number

Unable to view your picture.

Use a calculator. IF you have muscle, make sure to take that into effect as well.

lol, otherwise, you might be 240lbs at 6', pure muscle, but the calculator will tell you you're obese.

[Josht13]

the calculator will be able to determine your proportions and weight will be able to tell whether it is mainly muscle e. g. you would weigh less but have larger proportions if it was mainly fat. A bmi would say that a muscle 6 foot guy was obese. This guy doesn't have much muscle anyway.

If you are in a gym, ask them to measure. Otherwise look for some websites that teach you how to use skinfold measurements.

id guess 25%. but you can't really tell from just looking at someone

[Little-Hippie]

Looks like about 24-25%, brother.

[TripleAce]

Probably around 20% body fat

I'd have to say 22-26% body fat.
