Just got body fat tested...

Kate and I went in for a fitness test. I'm 6', 192lb, and was expecting ~20%. Was pretty happy to hear 15.7%.

It wasn't immersion (was just calipers), so I know it wasn't super accurate, but it's nice to have a baseline. My goal is sub-10%.

is your goal of 10% based on anything, or did you just pick the #10 cuz it sounded good?
🙂
as you know, caliper results vary by the person taking it, so a couple of them provide a better assessment

My weight goal is 182lb, but it will be a while before I get there. I'm loosely following the BFL diet plan, but am an avid exerciser. I think that overall my appearance will be where I want it to (yeah, I know, vain) at 10%. 😛

I think he wants the full on six pack to show up. I'm kind of scared right now to get mine tested, I probably will in the spring when I get really in shape

All natural. The only supplement I take, if you want to call it that, is protein (Pro-Rated...mmmmmm).

Yeah can we get body pics (block out the face if privacy concerns you)? I'm 6'0 as well and weigh about 185lbs. I have the FatTrack II calipers (with "free" myotape) from Bodybuilding.com and my many measurements have resulted in an average of 22% BF.

I'm wondering if my measurements are off big time if you weigh 192 and have 15% (you either have a lot more muscle than me or my measurements are off)



 
If anyone's looking for a quick and dirty method for measuring body fat, you can google for and download a freeware program called WinFAT.

depends upon your body type. about 8 you can see it, striations about 6 in most major muscle groups. 3-4% you are very near death, drinking distilled water and about a week away from a body building show. There's no other reason to get that way and it don't feel good according to sources very close to the sport.

Gravity (8%)

Various on the person and how much abdominal muscle development they have. I have a 6 pack up to about 16%. Some won't get a 6 pack until sub 10% and some much lower. Some just have a flat stomach but no abs still. You have to develop the abs and it is much easier to get the 6 pack to show without getting a very low bf%.

My abs lump out a lot and so look more cut then they actually are. Still have quite a layer of fat over them but they still show.

Congrats Entity.

Yeah my goal is to be cut as fvck also later. About 25-32yrs I hope will be my peak 😎
