Crazy Fat Loss... Can this be right?

[GoingUp]

My Bodyfat scale told me this morning that I was at 10%. I got a professional 7 point bodyfat test today and it told me that I was at 6.4% Last week I got hooked up to an electro bioimpedience machine and it said that I was 10.6% What do you think the real value for me is? Check out this link for pictures and let me know what you think.

That second pic makes you look like a militant white supremist. I mean a SKINNY-ASS militant white supremist.

Pretty good. Want to be a little more defined.

I'd say maybe a lil above 6.4 but definitely not 10% or more. 10% is generally where abs begin to show iirc, so I'd say you are below that.

bodyfat scales are not accurate below 10-12% BF

I wish there was a more accurate way to get my real reading

Go in for a body composition testing (DEXA testing). They're usually $50 or so, but they're the only truly accurate method, AFAIK.

Those bioimpedence machines aren't very accurate. They are dependent on the level of iwater you're currently retainng and a few other factors. I have a $90 scale that measures body fat, and i can make the numbers sway back and forth a LOT by measuring during different times of the day.

You are ~6-9% IMO.

I see a lot of body fat pictures on the BodyBuilding.com forums... you are definately below 10%.

You looks good... now all you need to do is eat ~3000 calories a day, and lift like a horse.
