Bodyfat question

[Nathan]

How do you guys know what bodyfat you are at? I say a percentage and I'm pretty sure that it is roughly accurate but I don't really know. I mean, I start to wonder when people seem all skeptical after I say. Plus, I haven't had mine tested in years, but I think that gave me a pretty good baseline to judge.

And how well can you tell by looking at someone? Like, say someone posted a pic how accurate do you think you can tell?

 

[jh1]

I judge others by myself...

I'd guess in my av I am 8-9.

Am I am accurate?

I judge everyone else by that same visual standard... abs, stiration, etc. Anything over 15%.... who gives a fuck. that's fat. (For Guys)

That's 8-9%? It's the pic in your gallery there's like 5 copies of right? I would have said you are lower than that. What the hell am I then? I've been saying 6% or so. I must be a liar - this was taken this past weekend. Don't even ask why I have my shirt up. I'm a monkey and do what I'm told.

I don't know, and it doesn't really matter. You are a 10.

Well, DUH! lol.

 

[Nathan]

Thanks Heather! Always been a fan of your work.

jh1 - Alright, so I wasn't too far off. But I still think you are leaner than 9% in that pic unless you are a rake and I can't tell cause it's so focussed on your abs. Gawd.

 

[KillahBee]

I'd say you are 6% or less.

Did you seriously take a pic with your shirt up tho? I mean, c'mon.

For realz tho, looking tight man

 

[jh1]

I;m flexing hard... I think I'm prolly 8.... maybe slightly lower... but if you're at 6, which seems accurate... I can telll you... I wasn't that lean...

 

[jh1]

Wht's ur diet look like.. fuckn a thats lean... abs look good.

 

[heatherrae]

Wht's ur diet look like.. fuckn a thats lean... abs look good.

Holy e-flirt alert.

No. I was throwing a football around. I refused at first but...the girl who told me to was hot. I think that makes it okay.

As for my diet, today I:

- drank some 1% milk
- ate a bagel with ANPB
- had a crapload of chinese take-out (beef and broccoli, no sauce)
- went to the gym and then had a gatorade and a protein shake (with 1-2 cups of 1% milk, I don't know exactly)
- had a couple of small chicken breasts
- had a bag of those rice cake mini thingies (the Dorito-tasting ones cause they're a pretty close duplicate)
- I'm about to have an Oh Yeah! protein bar
- then a couple tablespoons of ANPB.

That looks like a fair bit in retrospect. That's a lot for one day and I let myself do that since I didn't eat much yesterday - like 2500-3000kcal only. Tomorrow I might be a bit of a girl as well and not eat too much but I'm going to be pretty busy I think.

 

[string_bean00]

jh1 will give tremendous head for anyone with a bf% lower than his

 

[digimon7068]

i'm guessing i'm somewhere in the 10% range. . .

 

[Faizakafez]

they say if you can see your abs your around the sub 10% range i usually go from there...

i would assume straitions on your abs would put you anywere in the 5-8 range

i think i hate you

 

[Nathan]

I'm going with lower than 10%. Maybe 8%ish? Anybody?

 

[Faizakafez]

i would say plus 10...

i was told in my avatar im 13-14

 

[CrazyRussian]

Wow 3 pages and no one has answered the question yet?

Get a caliper, and it'll tell you how much BF% you have.

 

[Faizakafez]

whats the question?

i can't view nathan's pics

Calipers aren't accurate.

 

[CrazyRussian]

Calipers aren't accurate.

yeah youre right, but I'd imagine a pretty decent one would be a lot better than eyeballing it

 

[bw1]

Get dunked, then you'll know

 

[jh1]

Get dunked, then you'll know

Agreed, but other than for competition, no point.

I know how I 'WANT TO LOOK' and when my bf is low enough, I'll know it from looking. I'd bet that someone with experience can eyeball b/f better than calipers can call it blindly...

I think i can eye-ball it better than calipers can estimate. That was my point - I'd say the most reliable means are water-tank dunking, then there's this machine that gives grams of fat in each bodypart, grams of water, etc., and the third best is using a trained eye is my guess.

 

[Faizakafez]

fuck dude ur obliques are shredded i would say 5-8% 8 being the highest but unlikely..

I got laundry to do this weekend...Mind flying south so I can use your wash board??

Merci. 5-8% is a huge range. I think it can be narrowed down a bit better by eye, but I think you'd have to be realyl good to be able to get it within a 1% error EVERY time. I think a 2% error would be rather easy to keep your guesses within.

 

[Faizakafez]

Well if your going to get it tested ...

my guess is 5.5%

No idea about what your bf% is but looking good anyway.

I mean, I start to wonder when people seem all skeptical after I say. Plus, I haven't had mine tested in years, but I think that gave me a pretty good baseline to judge.

do they ask you that at the grocery store or the library or something? wow. canada is weird.

After 14+ years of doing this I have a feeling for where I'm at...I don't even weigh myself...the mirror doesn't lie...
