POST YOUR PIC AND BF%

I saw the "post your pic and have people guess your weight" thread and what became really obvious is that we have no idea what people weigh because a 5'7 woman can have wildly different weights and bf%'s... anyways, I thought it might be cool for people to post pics and just write their BF% so we can see what different bodies look like.
I'll start:
Height: 5'4
BF%- 23%
Test method: hydrostatic

Here's a pic at 19% bf (hydro test):

Height: 5'5.5"
BF%: 36.5%
Method: BIA scales (with handles) - I know they're very inaccurate, but they're all I had.
Still prefer the way I look here (only taken a few days apart):0 -
5'5"
162 lbs
30% BF with one of those (wildly inaccurate) bf% electronic scales0 -
5'9" 160lbs, 23%-25% by random guess based on pictures I've seen online.0
-
5'2"
31.7 bf (electronic scale):indifferent:0 -
I'd love to see a lot of pics in here so we can get an idea of what different body types and different body compositions can look like.0

That would be neat. I like to look at these, but they don't show bf%....http://www.mybodygallery.com/0

No way is that 24. How did you get that checked? You look more like 15-17. unless this pic is deceiving. You look good.
mine is my avatar-10.55%. Method - visual approximation0 -
Bump! my avatar was over a year ago, but I think I was around 21% then - I'm 17/18 % now - I'll post when I get back from shopping
Good idea OP!

No, visible abs flexed is 12 to 14 percent for a man of average musculature. a powerlifter or someone with extreme core muscle mass will show at higher bf0 -
yeah I am at 15% and do not have a 6-pack.0

I'm 5'7" and around 163 pounds. A few weeks ago I did two bf % tests online. One said I had 36% and the other said 33%. Eek, I'm not really sure though. Do I really look around 36% bf?
embarrassing pic, but it shows all of me0
