First of all, those bf scales are crap. Total crap. There is NO WAY that you are over 20%, I'd bet that with a gun to my head.

I'm guessing about 15%. Nice work, but get the bf tested in a tank for real.

A little bit of an update, here is back shot from this morning... I find this hard to make, so there is really no flexing on the pic, just me raising my arms trying to take the damned pic...

This one is the resul of squatting 270lbs last night (this is my right shoulder, the other one looks just like that... nice bar marks)

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: today is back day... and the shoulders are hurting a bit... well, time to suck it up

How to deadlift.

The strenght question is interesting. When I started I could bench 100lbs and be dead after some 12 reps... lol, could not squat (had to do leg presses the first thre months) and felt so weak looking at everybody working with the impressive weights...

The strenght is growing (or at least I try to make it grow by adding weight every week). I don't deadlift (nobody in my gym does so I cannot copy the form, I asked one of the trainers and they don't know either, and I know I could bust my back if done wrong... and I WANT TO LEARN!!!)

Anyway, current stats:

bench: 180lbs + olympic bar (think the bar weights 45lbs??) 10 reps
Squats: 220lbs + olympic bar 10 reps
leg presses (smith machine): 500 lbs (you can tell by this I have a technique problem with the squatting... suspect is my weight balancing)

I do biceps dumbell curls with the 35lbs dumbbells for 15 reps... strangely enough, I can do more weight with the triceps than with the biceps (I know the muscle is larger, but WTF is with that...)

As for supps. simple: Whey and vitamins (vits to complement my lack of vegetables). Oh yeah, flax oil too, I drank 2 liters of flax oil in some 4 months. I switched to walnut oil for a little while, once the bottle is empty, will go back to flax.

Diet has been alwayss around the 1800-2000 cals/day... with 1 or 2 days at higher carb/cals (about 2500 level).

as you all know also, I am a cardio fan, so I started with 5 times/week for 30 mins.. and eventually build up to what I do today: 6 times/week for 45 mins.

not a really complicated plan, but it demands some 2 hours of your day time (I train at nights, from 9:00 pm till 11:00 pm), cardio following weights... and I have to admit some days I wish I could cut that time in half... but hell, results take work

Awesome job with the fat loss. Best of luck getting down to the single digits. You don't appear to be 22.5% judging by the pictures. If you want us to give you a better estimation post a picture from the front with your hands down to your side. The back is looking pretty good though. Keep it up.
