+ 3 Body Fat Estimates Test
ad
Follow up to SeeOhShows post. I wanted to do a little experiment to see who can look at a picture online and get close to BF. I think it can be hard to tell sometimes for a few different reasons and wanted to see who can get close.
For a little background. This was taken a few months ago while I was on a cruise to the bahamas. I took a BMI scan on the ship that the on board sports clinic specialist said was not quite as accurate as a dexa scan but pretty close.

Id say my opinion your holding water in mid section but everywhere else i see muscle and veins where they should be. 15 to 16 bodyfat possibly
I was going to say 15-17% but the lighting makes it hard to give a real estimate. With the right light and angles I might have said 12%. For what it’s worth, you look great here brother. If I remember correctly you were in the middle of a bulk when you decided on the cruise and only cut for a couple weeks beforehand or something like that which makes it that much more impressive. I tend to hold a lot of fat in my love handles and upper arms which means I look pretty shit until I get really lean unfortunately. Interesting experiment, thanks for posting.
So appreciate everyone's feedback and everyone willing to give their 2 cents and participate. Just so yall know If you ever see me post in the future i want honestly and you're not gonna make me cry. If I was a sensitive little bitch I wouldn't upload the Pic to begin with lol.
The machine read 13.4%. The guy that did the caliper bf test came up with 14.2%. I personally think I was around the 15% range.
There's a place about 45 minutes from me that does a dexa scan for 100 bucks. Next time I'm going with that so I can get a more accurate assessment of where I'm at and go from there.
I’d say that’s solid either way!
I’m going to say the generic 15. You’d easily be able to get to the lower digits and appear more shredded but lt appears you’re one of those guys that holds less fat everywhere. I’m one of those guys I can have a 6 pack and love handles at the same time. I only store fat in my lower back lol. I can have veins out of my dick root but that pinch in the lower back remains unless I get really low which won’t happen for a while.
Same. As I'm sure with most older gents I tend to hold onto that stubborn mid section fat.
Hard picture to play this game. Electrical impedance testing can give a wide range of answers based on hydration type conditions at time of testing. But I’ll cheat and say you’re in the 13-16% range. Won’t throw my money on a single number lol
You look good though
Thanks. I'm trying to get to your discipline level with the diet soon hah.
Skin and smaller muscle groups can give a hint! He’s deceiving because of his overall mass.
No deception brother. Just trying to have a little fun and put myself out self there.
I'm going to do this again soon but go get an actual dexa scan and then offer a 50 dollar certificate to a certain source on here to who gets the closest.
It’s not true deception lol… body types show different things. I’m 6’4 270 and most people guess I weigh 240. What was the result from the ship???
I’m 5’11” 215 on average but my legs are so much more developed than my upper body most people think I’m like 195. I can’t escape the cyclist phenotype no matter how hard I try lol
Gonna post it up top for anyone interested
15-17%. Lower thigh is giving it away as it is not flexed imo… shoulders, chest, and arms look solid!
Yea bro...wtf why is my vmo looking like a fat girls cankle. Quads actually looked pretty decent when this Pic was took
They look solid! I’m just trying to look at the least stretched out part of the body.
Since 17 is taken im going with 20%. Its hard for me to tell since ur arms are up and i cant see ur abs but you look good man.
Whew. I've never seen anyone at 20% with tricep and ab veins. I certainly don't have those vein genetics.
Thanks homie.
lol my bad I'm on my work computer and can't see ab veins but on the plus side i thought u weighed around 240 lbs. before looking at your profile lol.
Fuck I wish I was that big. I've got a while to go haha
I'd be able to give an accurate assessment if you were wearing a little less, we demand a speedo or just straight cheeks out.
Everyone wants to see these balls. Ima tell you what I tell of the rest of em...you gotta wine me,dine me and 69 me to get to see the goods.
So... Denny's at say 10 o'clock?
That's covers where we can 69 but what about the wine and dine
Id say 17% but hard to tell without a back shot as this is where the majority of people hold more body fat even if the front is a little tighter
Damn hard for me to tell. Arms are jacked as hell with vascularity in triceps and lower abdomen. I'd guess 15 percent or just under.
I am sure lighting of this pic has a negative influence as well
A BMI scanner? Body mass index?
Maybe you mean BIA, Bioelectrical impedance analysis? That being said I'm also curious what the results were
Yea I can't remember the name of the actual machine used. The trainer also did a 7 point caliper test and the result was pretty similar as the machine.
Do you have a guess?
Caliper test huh?
Lol yes.
