Guess the BF & get a prize... Step right up

[cookiedough]

NOrmally the carnival guy guesses your weight, this time you get to guess my bf%. Pictures can be misleading, but this one is from yesterday. I'll take more after my BodPod test in the morning. I honestly think it's @ 12% so that is the over/under. Place your bets ladies:

[^mR.]

7% The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 4 characters.

dam cookie, i think you got more abs showin than me......lookin lean bro....id say 10-12 %.......maybe lower, but its so hard to tell...one can show no abs at 10%, while others look shreded at 12%......me i think i gotta be at 5% to show my abs...fuck

The good news is my SHIC starts monday, so does the hardcore keto diet. I've been slacking on my calorie count since my last cycle. This time it's dialed in and also running some tren ace (new for me). That's all going in the new thread posting on sunday w/boknows. 7% is taken, you have to choose a number to win the prize, guessing a range isn't fair...

no body said nuttin bout no rules....9% *!@#$^&*

That's the post cycle goal, btw. Breaking into single digits, but dropping 3% in 12 weeks (including pct in this goal) might be too lofty a goal.

here is a nice visual bf % comparison chart i borrowed from PM

Somebody posted this in the last few days in another thread, but good stuff regardless. Confirms my thinking on dropping the bf in 12 weeks, howev.

9.5% cookie will you give me the prize even if I don't win. Plz

Great to finally see your pic CD! I should probably "Phone a friend" but I'm going with 10.5.

[breakthrough]

I'm gonna say 11 and I didn't picture you as a Q ball Up top your BF looks close to mine (a little leaner) but I can gaurantee your bottom half is leaner.

[thugjitsu]

Hmmm...10.25% is my guess.

[Gman]

I tend to think like thug it's right around the 10% mark, abs are clearly defined...

On top they are. Just below the belly button could use some work....who am I to talk though lol. More defined than me. Just sayin...that's why I don't think it's single digit territory yet.

REsults are in and not good: 15%

NO kiddin. I'm a F-A-T ass. So the goal now is to get down to 10% in 12 weeks. I have some homework to do to make sure I've got the diet and the training nailed. I'll post up on Sunday as planned w/the particulars.

NOt gonna lie, I expected 12% and 15% is a big slap of reality. I know that these displacement tests can be off a little, but I'll do the same test in 6 weeks and then again in 12 weeks. NOt happy w/the results.

This should be a wake up call for everybody lol. That puts me at about 17-18% or more. Now go adjust your stats people! If you're not even close to CD by any means and you have 10% OR 13% as your BF.........need I say more? CD, have you done any research to see what the consensus is on accuracy of these tests?

Looking good cookie If you are 15% what the hell am I???

A little bit, enough to seek it out and pay $60. I flexed my abs and sat w/perfect posture on the first test, then completely relaxed on the second and third. He said there was a big difference between the first and the last two. He said the most accurate way to measure is a full relaxation.

THe baseline data is taken from cadaver studies where they actually melt down and measure the fat content for different body types.

I weighed in at 174 pounds and I have 11+ pounds of fat to lose to reach 9%.

I'll scan and post the test results for review.

I want to do it now. When I have extra $, I'm going to go. Did you have to make an appointment or do they take walk-ins?

[megaman85]

i know around my house, they do this dexa scanning. It measures your bodyfat, bone density, and a few other things. I would have never guessed anywhere around 15 for you though cookie. I was leaning to 11% or so.

They say the dexa is the most accurate bf test there is. Im scared to do the damn thing now LOL.....

Appointment only, decent consultation after. Funny thing, he said I'd get to my goal of 9% quicker by focusing on losing bf and not by focusing on gaining lean weight. Damn, now I have to measure the food daily.

I'm going to try the dexa test this week. They have it at a independent health food store next to my gym.
