22-25% seems close. In teens you'll start seeing some definition in shoulders and chest.

Damn ur fuckin jacked ngl though fat is probably the preferable place for fat storage

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

I'd say you're both 20-25%. Bro has noticeably higher muscle mass.

I think it's a waste of energy to focus on the number but I do understand why people do it, whatever works for ya, more power to ya.

Re: these two statements, I won't take a stab at the number without a lot more info but I think bro and god are probably that 5% difference which I wouldn't class as "around the same". If their height is the same than they both might have the same amount of fat but the percentage is surely very different.

In the end though especially with this little info my opinion doesn't mean shit and for me what should matter is if whatever amount of fat and muscle one is carrying fits their goals for health, abilities and appearance.

therein lies one of the dangers of steroids

you muscled your way down to a lower bodyfat percentage. But that’s still a ton of extra mass to carry

Them gear heads are always trying to get down to 10% for a reason. it’s 15% without the extra muscle

Guys want to get low bf for aesthetics so their abs and overall definition pop out more.

Also for sports you weigh in for it can be an advantage since it can help you cut down to a lower weight class.

Welterweight is 170lbs, right? So 38lbs. That's a lot of weight. You'll definitely need to lean out.

@period seems to know a lot about cutting

Dude you could surely, maybe not "easily" drop 25 lbs in the next 6 months if you bumped that up on the priority list. You would look sharp as hell, including your shoulders looking way better btw, and most likely perform better on fight night with a pretty easy water cut. Don't grow old and wake up one day wishing you had taken some shots like that when you were young and resilient.
I regret some stuff like that a lot and now I'm years past realistic goals in some areas, it blows.
