what do you think he's at according to the pointed down angle pic in the xxxxxxxxxxxl baggy shirt?
what would you claim your bf% to be at in comparison?
i'd say i'm at 20%, honestly. visible abs in a good light, veins starting to come in along the bi's and inner elbows, etc. i'd be obviously bullshitting to claim much under. which is fine by me, 230 feels good and my lifts are doing fine. maybe later on i'll drop to get into the 230s.
if i had to ballpark him? 30, possibly (probably?) higher. that's not me being an asshole and flaming the dude, just an honest assessment. 20% is definitely holding "extra fat" by bodybuilding standards, but you're not going to have a "gut" there. you gotta be pretty high in the percentages to have a middle that sags out that far.
the thing is, i don't really care how fat/lean anyone is. i hang out on powerlifting boards, most of the guys i chat with are north of 300 pounds. hell jeff lewis, the 550 pound behemoth, is one of my favorite lifters. it just gets to me when someone claims to "dwarf" someone else or makes other really off-the-wall claims concerning physique when they're in that kind of shape. personally i think i look like hell, but it's better than i used to be and i'm good with that.
again, here's the comparison. pic in my avatar from a few days ago weighing 230-ish, him weighing 239. if he's 20% what would that make me? keep in mind he also says we have nearly identical waist sizes. once again, there's no flame intended in any of this.
