Does This Look Like 11.5% Bf?

[figure8]

I Just Got My Bf Tested Underwater. I Was Shocked To Find Out I Was 11.5%. I Dont Think I Look It. What Do U Ladies Think. Im Preparing For A Show And Only Have A Couple Of Weeks.

Do you think you look slimmer then 11.5, or you believe you are more then that? I would of guessed 10%, looking good regardless!

Like I said before, I'm not sure about exact BF%, but you have a great physique. Nice broad shoulders, great legs, midsection looks good.

Again, i would like to see a back shot to see the glute/hammy tie-in as well as any possible BF in the lower back, hips, etc.

I would say 11.5 is on the nose looking at the pics, ur legs tummy look slighly less at 10% but upper body would be spot on! As RJH8541 says we would need a photo from the back to be 100% ....who messured ur BF% anyway and why don't you trust them ?

Thanks no I thought I'd be around 14%

I had it done undewater. I think I still need to be a lot leaner for the show and its only 2 weeks away. Ill have to take a butt shot too!

are you vascular? Do you have veins in your arms? abs or legs?
How much skin can you pinch behind your tris? lower back? abs? are you pulling about an inch or so? any cellulite left?
That is how i tell..

Underwater test is pretty damn accurate.. supposed to be the most accurate actually...

is your water consumption up? getting close to 2 gallons a day? 3 weeks out, you should be up to about that...

some veins in my arms you can only see them when I train. Ive been drinking 2 gallons of water for the past 2 weeks. No cellulite...thank god! I can pinch a lot on my back. The fat is real soft and jiggly. Thats good though when that starts to happen the fat is being metabolized and should soon be gone.

well, in my personal experience, at 11.5% you should be pretty damn vascular and i would venture to say that if you are not, you may not be as low as that... plus if you are pulling alot of softness off your back, that is not a good sign..
based on your pics and what I personally know in regards to my clients and myself and bodyfat measuring and diming in.. i would say you are holding more like 15% area.. if you can get bigger pics i would be able to judge more accurately..
But this is why i do NOT get hung up on numbers and judge by my physique rather than anything else..
Vascularity is a pretty good tell tale sign... no veins = thicker skin and higher bodyfat... the water retention will add to the softness, so try a dandelion root to pull it out so you can get a better judgement..

keep us posted
