My 4 month body transformation

On the top left is a picture of where I was 4 months ago. I weighed in at 85kg @ 20% bf.
The middle picture was me on carbs for the first time in 2 months. I went paleo to reduce my bodyfat. I weighed in at 77kg @ 10% bf.
The picture on the right is how I am now. I weigh in at 80.6kg @ 10-11% bf.
My current calorie intake is around 4000 calories a day of good whole food.
500-550g of carbs
180-220g of protein
130g of fat
lots of water.
My workout routine is a heavy 5 days on 1 day off. Which I found has worked really well for me.
Monday- Chest
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Shoulders
Friday- Arms.
My goal is to keep bulking until I reach 84-85kg @ 10-12% bodyfat. Hopefully achieve this by next summer which I will begin to cut to see if I am stage ready.9

Calipers are notoriously inaccurate . But great achievement to get as lean as that and not much in the way of weight between the lower percentages . Youv plenty of carbs to play with reduce those bad boys by a few and get dem der lower ab veins.0 -

I agree 100%.
My point was that the OP is right listening to the person who tested his body fat ( who is more than likely some sort of coach / PT) as opposed to some faceless person judging him off the net.
Yup, but the PT's just plain wrong. That's not 10%.I Love PPPP Longtime wrote: »Jesus, I must be a blimp at 182cm and 153lbs
Not at all... the only reason I'm picking is because at a legit 10% there'd be very little to pick at!!!When it comes to caliper readings isn't consistent measuring more important than percentages?
Absolutely. BUT, here's my problem...
When I caliper someone, or when we do it in LIA, they refuse to believe how high it is because other PTs lie to ther clients and under play they're bodyfat% for whatever reasons.
A legit 10% is VERY rare. Most guys who think they're 10% are probably 13-15+%.
So MY beef (and this is a personal thing with most people who do BF% readings) is that they set unrealistic expectations for the majority, so when I go and do a legit bodyfat test and tell someone they're 18-20%, even tho they look pretty good they get bummed out because it SOUNDS high relative to their fatter mate who's trainer told him he was 15%.
MAke sense?0 -

Thanks everyone again for the great comments really appreciate it
As for the bf % I have heard that the results can be inaccurate depending on the user. I was a bit sceptical when it came back at 10%.
Im not too worried about bodyfat at the moment as I am bulking. I will worry about it next summer so until then lets get big and mean :P0 -
