Been Losing A Lot of Weight This Summer, Would Love Some Estimates on My BF%

[swollen87]

I am sure it did there playboy

who calls another man "playboy"

[jaycuda]

you're nuts bro. he's got very little fat even on his lower abs. he just doesn't have a ton of muscle so it looks soft

If he's flexing his abs at all in the original picture he's right around 15% in my opinion.

as a side note : my dad was 135lbs in college and benched over 350.

exactly. people always assume you have to be a 290 lb monster to bench an ass-load of weight. some people are just naturally strong. but here is a pic of my 2nd rep in a bench press competition in november 2010 at my college until i can put the video up. its not 400, but its 365. much more than most of these guys would ever believe i can lift.

To Swollen87: Obviously it has a different meaning in Jersey then it does in Pa, but let's just say "you think your good, but yeah, your not."

[swollen87]

^ thats not 400lbs...

this whole arguement was about OP not being able to bench 400lbs *(i believe he said OVER 400)

365 is a whole lot more believable than 400 for someone with as little muscle mass as him

you wouldnt say that to my face....

and i dont think im good, i KNOW im good.... but i dont claim to be MORE than i actually am

OP clearly stated he benches 400lbs... and he doesnt... im not over here saying im better... just saying he doesnt do it

[EasyEJL]

it is hard to believe you could bench 400lbs at your size.

but, strength doesn't always equate to size. btw, i'd say 12% BF

I agree on all 3 points. The men's collegiate 148lb weight category record for powerlifting is 440lbs, so size doesn't define strength 100%

i was benching around 350 in high school (5 years ago) and was a football player and powerlifter. yall need to remember that just because you are big does not mean you are strong. and just because you are small doesn't mean you aren't. i have always had a strong chest. and you are 12 lbs heavier than me, not soooooo much bigger. and as i said in the post before, i will post a video of it when i do my next chest day.

here is a flexed pic. though yall will probably still think what you want

Nobody here has the intention to "bash you" or talk ****, its just when you post a picture (the first one) and your chest dont look like ****, then you talk about benching 400 pounds, dont have a vid posted OF you doing it.....yeah people are gonna talk **** to you, post that vid up and ill be impressed. And believe me, i've been lifting ever since i was 15, been taught by the best, dont sit here and tell me "yall need to remember that just because you are big does not mean you are strong. and just because you are small doesn't mean you aren't", I KNOW THIS ALREADY DAMN'T.

but body composition plays a large part in strength... and in short, OP doesnt hav it

An answer to the simple question of what bodyfat do I (or whoever else answers) think you are at: I think you are around 13-14%. You look like you have a good framework and that you are an avid weightlifter. I personally don't care if you say you can bench 1,000lbs. I am not going to hoorang you for a video or a picture of you benching and then another one with you in the same outfit holding up a picture of your driver's license to prove anything. I wish you the best with your strength training and your training progress and think you will continue to lean out. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

It's the media that gives some all the Jersey people a bad name Some of us aren't that bad

Haha. What's good Swollen? I'm actually in Tampa now, but I just got back on the forums. I have to update that.

correct. i know its not. i said i'd put that up because i am not doing a chest workout for a couple days. and just so ya know, sometimes pictures dont tell the whole story man. youve never seen me in REAL life so how can you really judge? there is such a thing as a bad picture ya know. i have plenty of muscle mass, but i CAN agree with yall that the pictures do look like i dont. when i post this video in a few days will you finally get off my case?

[TheMeatus101]

when i post this video in a few days will you finally get off my case?

YES, we'll get off your case, your box, whatever the **** you want to call it.

[mball52]

Good post man. I am not really sure why they want this proof of his statement. No one is forcing them to believe him.

[JajaNe20]

Nothing else to say but one thing "I would say it to you face there buddy "

[EasyEJL]

Do you think the 148lber who benched 440 looked big? Do you think the 105lb college girls that can bench 275 look big? no, they sure don't.

this girl benches 225+at 105lbs, does she look big?
