>BIA scale says 10% bf
>DEXA scan says 20% bf
What do you fags say? The DEXA seems way too high to me, but apparently it's the gold standard. I just want to figure out when I hit 10-12% so I can bulk optimally.
t. 130lb 5'9 dyel who's been cutting from 145 and just started lifting
jesus christ stop cutting right now before you turn into a spooky skelly
eat maintenance and lift, when you plateau up by 100 kcal and lift harder etc etc
I know I'll pop off once I start bulking, but I'm fine with being a skelly until I reach the optimal point (10-12%), might as well if I'm close. I'm just wondering why the bf% calculations are fucked up.
>the optimal point (10-12%)
you're retarded. 10-12% BF is hard to achieve and even harder to maintain. you need to eat properly and lift hard, not starve yourself
I mean jesus christ your ribs are showing yet you have ZERO abs, how does that not ring a bell retard
Maybe it's retarded. I just read the bodyrecomp article in the sticky which recommended you don't bulk until you're in that 10-12% range.
I was skinnyfat at 145 before so I'm happy to have lost that weight regardless.
yeah the sticky is full of bullshit. you need to eat maintenance and lift until you plateau, then slightly eat more etc
don't go full retard bulking up or you'll just end up fat which is even worse

You can start bulking now and actually lift and you'll look way better way quicker than if you kept cutting. No one here can tell you what BF% you are, you have no muscle so you may be leaner than 20% but just lack enough muscle for the definition to show. Start bulking now
Should I bulk or wat at maintenance? Was just gonna gain at 1lb-a-week pace before
Eat*
1lb a week is fine, you're so dyel
thanks fren
You have revealed ribs and love handles you moron, this is what muh fasting and no excersise does to the body, eat 2700 cals and do a ppl for 3-4 months then come back here for a revolution you fucking spastic.
wow youre literally obese, body fat % should be your main concern right now. Cut hard
Why are you cutting lmao you already weigh nothing
Go lift some actual weigths, and eat some protein man. Get some noobie gains first. Then start to think about bulk.
