  • Hi, could you do an estimation for me please?
    6'0, 168lbs.



    Apologies about the undies, but I don't own a bikini. The pics are kinda bad quality, sorry, I used my webcam.

    Could you post pics where you are not stretching up. Ideally what we need are:

    - front relaxed (arms out to side)
    - front flexed (arms up, flexing)
    - side relaxed (arms slightly in front so the view is not obscured)
    - back (optional but is will be preferable to include)

    Sure thing, I'll take some more tonight. Sorry they weren't right.

    Ok... so I wasn't going to do this, and had my own last personal estimate at 20%. However, now I am more lean on top, and still carry my bf around my donk. I'm choosing to post these where I do not feel my best, around my less flattering time of month, so that I'm getting a more realistic look at what I actually am.

    Apologies in advance if pics are rather large.


    Have at it, y'all.

    Hi! Could you also post a side pic. Thanks

    So, we put you at about 17%, give or take a % point.

    You are definitely less than 20% without a doubt. Both myself and SideSteel are comfortable with the 17 - 18% range.

    You are welcome.

    Hi! We need a decent view of your legs/butt to do an assessment. Thanks

    Hello, I am starting to cut this week, and I would really like to be a bit organised this time around to know if I am actually showing any progress or not. Could someone have a look at what BF% I could have, please? My height 1.68cm, my weight 165lb. (I have been foreverrrrr at this weight, from June last year). All positions are relaxed.

    My stats are as follows (last measurements and weigh in was 22 days ago):
    Height - 5'3"
    Weight - 158 lbs
    Waist - 31"
    Hips -41"

    Hi! Sorry for the delay. SideSteel and I are trying to get caught up.

    We would put you in the high 30's. At above the 30% mark it starts to get harder to get a good degree of accuracy so we could be off by a couple of percentage points.

    Hi! We need better pics to be able to do a decent estimate - sorry :flowerforyou: . The pic are pretty blurry, plus we need to be able to see your legs and butt better as well as your arms flexed (see pics above as good examples). If you are uncomfortable posting here, please do not hesitate to PM me and SideSteel with them.
