    Hey Sara and Sidesteel!

    Is there any way you can estimate me from my profile pics?

    5'3.5"
    40 years old
    Waist is 29.5"
    172 lbs
    Yeah...I have a *kitten*-ton of muscle.
    Last time I figured my TDEE I think my LBM was around 134 lbs.
    I'm guessing 29-31% maybe lower?

    Anyway was curious what you thought!

    Shel

    If you would like an estimate you will have to either attach your pics or PM them to either or both of us. Please include both flexed and relaxed.

    As requested, flexed front and side view. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, but I tried to get my leg in the side view.

    edit: need to resize the pics...


    TRoberts:


    When I look at the relaxed pics only I would initially put you above 15%, possibly into the mid 16% or higher, and the flexed pics look much closer to the 13-14% range..


    We would put you in the neighborhood of 14-15% when taking all of the above into consideration.

    Just for comparison, these were taken last March at about the same size, but 5ish lbs less.

    Sorry realized I forgot to include height and weight. 5'10". 160 lbs.

    ^ shoulders look insane on your bdb pose.

    Will estimate in a bit.

    ChrisDavey you big Aussie freak:

    I don't think you're quite into the 10's yet and I don't think you're above 12%, so I'd say 11-12 is a reasonable range.

    I'm mirin.

    ^^Me too - you really look like you have put on some mass there. But one question Chris...do you even lift?

    Thanks mate :smile: I haven't started cutting yet. Well "now" I have, just from Monday. I got dexa'd at 10.1% 4 weeks ago and have still been bulking since then so yep I'd definitely agree with that.

    Wee! Thanks guys...that's a lot lower than I thought I was, which of course - makes me happy. Now to just get it a little bit lower; I don't like how I look unflexed.

    anyway...
