 | Ideas please ok, bf tested today and the guy in the gym stated it was 14%. I am gutted I thought it was lower than that. I weighed this morning and I am 13st 5lbs. training is going very well, weights lifted are going up and cardio is spot on (3 miles in 18.54) so where am I going wrong? Typical days food is 4 egg and mush omlette protein shake mixed salad and meat pwo shake with honey mixed salad or veg and meat. i am not eating (or very very rarely) pasta,rice,pots,bread my aim is 10% bf help needed ladies and gents. I thought it would be lower as the abs are through (see pic ) but he said the figure went up due to carrying bf on the bicep and tricep areas? So what next?

   | 14%?! Was that on electronic scales? Mate, from your pic I'd say you're there or near enough to your target of 10% anyway. Don't be disheartened, but the pic is not of someone with 14% IMO. BUMP for other opinions..... |

| If that's 14%, DB must be about 150% ;) Seriously, you are a fair bit leaner than 14%. 10% sounds closer.

 | What was his test 3 point or 5 point I was taught to take bf% with calipers and chefx pointed me in the direction of a web site http://www.battlezinc.com/bodyfatcalc.asp take the measurments there and it gives you Parillo Parillo et al etc etc and then it works out the average, last time i took it it was about 9.4% and I would say your about the same or lower in as far as the abs showing. Look at the pics i posted in the 6th June thread and compare (or maybe someone can put both pics up together) and i am sure you will see you are most likely under 10% BF |

| Why are you worrying about the numbers anyway? Seriously you look fantastic, it doesn't matter if the calipers say 10%, 14% or 24% aside from you and the guy that measured you who is ever going to know and what difference would it make to them if they did.
