Some of these I made as a child, in case it doesn't show.

First two pics: natural stance

Third pic: attempting to correct posture

29yo male, experienced lifter, between 5'7" and 5'8", 75.2kg. First two pics are relaxed, 3rd pic is tensed.

29 year old male, somewhere between 5'7 and 5' tall, currently weigh 78.5kg/173lbs. I'm in doubt about my body fat percentage. I keep trying to test myself with calipers (albeit cheap ones from ebay) but every time I test I think "Surely that can't be right?" I just tried the Jackson Pollock 3 method, and it tells me im around 7%. That can't be right on account of me not being dead.

Pics in order are

1-front view relaxed

2-front view tensed

3-back view

4-back view tensed

5-side view

6-side view tensed

7-front view with a fresh pump from chest day

8-front view with a fresh pump from chest day tensed

9-attempt at the caliper test on the abdomen (3mm supposedly)

10-results of the caliper test (Surely not, right?)

29 year old male, somewhere between 5'7 and 5' tall, currently weigh 78.5kg/173lbs. Experinced lifter, I lift roughly 3-4 times per week at decently high intensity (I take most sets to failure or close) and train in Krav Maga on the side. Fresh off a recent (not perticularly strict) bulk that lasted about 6 weeks (first time really trying one for that long), so not my leanest look ever, and I'm annoyed that my lower belly sticks out, regardless of cutting, bulking or maintaining. Ab muscles have always been there and getting worked (I regularly do hanging leg raises, v ups and side crunches, can hold a plank for minutes at a time) but never been perticularly 'showy'. Is it normal for the lower belly to stick out like that? I have recently come across 'stomach vacuums' and reintroduced the palloff press which are supposed to help. I also do a lot of back work (glute bridges, hip thrusts, resistance band kickbacks) so the lower back isn't getting neglected. Am I too hard on myself? Do I need to cut more?
