Thanks for telling me. I got the 9% measuring with a caliper. If I calculate with a bodyweight of 88kg I get a ffmi of 23.1. I know my weight and height were correct so the caliper measuring must have been off. What would you guess is my bodyfat percentage in the picture?

so you're saying I gained exactly 0 pounds of muscle during 12 months of training? I'd say there is a clear difference between pic 2 and 4.
>>
>>35796379
it's mainly because you have very wide hips and a thick core. good for strength, not so good for looks.

Pretty fat right now, can't wait to cut in april and try to keep dem strength gains while being leaner.

They sure are but i'm serious.

I see a lot of change in lighting, but there's not a whole lot of change in bf. like 2-3% maybe

Do you bounce out of the hole doing ATG squats or pause?

I'd say about a year and a half. The first half was spent switching constantly from strength to hypertrophy type training.
I ran SS for a couple months to get some strength up and now I am running Texas Method with some accessories.

Strength progression is now a weekly thing for me

sure it isn't THE most accurate test in the world, but it is way more accurate than shitposters like you.

you remind me of a guy who was literally obese, who insisted he was 20% and no more.

did ICF 5x5 and now i'm on 5/3/1 with boring but big accessories (with some more arm isolations because curls are fun)
started at 68 kg (150lbs) skinnyfat, bulked till i was like 75(165lbs) and then cut till i was back at 68 or something, then bulked again from there until now (probably will keep bulkan till march-april) enjoying the ride a lot desu

Definitely a compliment for me brah, didn't expect being called "too jacked" on /fit/, maybe it's because my delts pop out a lot? they're the only bodypart i'm satisfied with except my glutes(which i won't post) desu.

Doubt they will.

Unlike rows, which have a pretty well established relative strength, there's fuck-all info on either lift (and both are pretty damned rare outside of contexts where the lifter already knows how strong he is or isn't).

When I got over 2 plates for squat I started having issues with getting stuck in the hole. Mostly my left knee buckles in when coming up. Its probably a symmetry issue with my form, but I'm recovering from torn tendons in my left foot so wondering if that has something to do with it.
