Completed my first 3 month bulk (got up to 180lbs from 160) and cut (cut down to 165). If you've had your BF% measured before, would you mind sharing what you think mine might be at? Don't have a place nearby that I can get a DEXA scan done, but would be curious to hear from the community what you believe I'm around?
Appreciate your comments.

some abs there so I would say 12 - 140

I am guessing it's between 14-16%. Why you don't use this?

It is an estimation, but better this than nothing..1 -
I would guess 15-16.
Scroll down past the pictures, there is a description of various body fat % that you might find helpful:

I would guess right around 18%.0
-
under 18%0
-
15-17% but it is impossible to tell from 1 picture.0
-
14%0

by the way a 3 month bulk? I would run a year plus lean bulk at this point. 3 months isn't enough time to put on appreciable muscle, naturally, done right. aim for 2 pounds gain per month.1

Around 18% seems like a good guess. You have a bicep vein which is usually the first sign of vascularity/leanness.
When my abs are just about faded like your are I also have a big gut and a fat face. You don't have either of those so I would say you are carrying the weight really well. This is probably your natural bf levels as your body seems comfortable where you are.

My guess was 15-18 but decide for yourself.
This guy on Youtube does a very good job of describing the factors that distinguish the various BF levels w/o an actual measurement:

His description would put you at 15-18% too. It starts at 4:25 mins into the video.
