Just a guesstimation based on previous measurements and what they ended up being.
Like I said, I'm not really too hungup on the numbers, body fat included.

For reference, I'm 5'11", and this is 9% bodyfat (measured by both a DEXA scan and a Bodpod) @ ~170 lbs. My scale told me I was 6% for about two weeks leading up to the real measurement, so it's not very accurate.

That looks and sounds about right. I'd have guessed 175 and 8-ish based on those pictures, but everybody carries it differently. That's about what I looked like when I dropped from 225 to 175 right after I went vegan. (Other than a lot more body hair.) I carry a bit more width on my chest/back/shoulders and lost a lot on my lower half. (Putting the muscle on the top half isn't a problem, but I'm working with genetics on skinny legs/calves. My brother got the tree trunks for legs and I got the arms.)

I mean, if you're just ****ing around in the gym and doing whatever and you look like this, I'll just say congratulations to you on your awesome genetics and sit here being really jealous, because this took a shitload of hard work for me.

I don't consider what I'm doing as "screwing around in the gym." I'm just not going total anal retentive about writing every little detail down in order to make sure I'm getting those small gains in strength. I am busting tail. Puked one time last week after a workout actually.
