Do you think the BodPod gave me the right results!?

I don't know if I'm correct to be skeptical or if I just can't see it yet, but the BodPod put me at 21% body fat. According to their information, that puts me in the lean category, and the tester thinks I can drop down to around 18% by losing 5ish more pounds of fat. I'm so eager to bulk, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I still can't quite believe that I could be so close. I know looking at pictures is just a guessing game, and I know it's ultimately up to me when I'm feeling ready to bulk. I would just like some outside opinions. Thanks!

21% is probably close. If you want to stay mlre lean during a bulk cutting a but more will help that.

I think it sounds about right as well. I had posted a pic here and was estimated to be around 22%, so I cut another 5-6lbs and now I'm around 18-20%. A few pounds made a huge difference for me. I'm spending this month in maintenance and starting a bulk in Aug.

Thanks. I do plan to drop more fat before I start to bulk. I'm just doubting that 21% is correct, especially when I look at charts that show examples of people at that percentage.. they look much leaner than I do.

I'd say it's close. 22-25% is my guess.

I agree with this assessment. Really depends on what your midsection looks like.
