Finally BF!!!

Bodyfat results can vary no matter what the method. Two different people could measure you on the same day using the same method and probably come up with different bf%. And when you compare one method of measurement to another, the results vary widely. Don't get too caught up in that % number. Just use it to judge an overall trend of whether it's rising or falling.

I've had the same person measure me for the past 3 years and I've kept all the caliper measurements for the different sites. I look at these more than the final %, but they can be iffy because a millimeter is so small, and whether you're measured in the same spot the same way, etc. Lots of variables even when using the same person and the same method. It's fun to get a number, but I think progress pictures are the most telling.

Remember that muscle is denser than fat, so a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. Say you replace 5 pounds of fat with 5 pounds of muscle. The scale would stay the same, but your measurements like Arm - ??" would be getting smaller.

"you do not want to do heavy lifting because your legs would get very big"

You should have said to him, "so I guess that explains why your legs are so small?"

To my surprise..the guy was very lean and big muscles.
yeap!!!
I guess he does not wants to give away hes secrets.
By the way..this is my 5 week eating clean food. BUT
Next week I am going one step further.
Meaning, now that I am use to eating clean and my craving for Junk is to a minimum, I am going to start cooking my chicken breast in a diferent way.
I will only buy chicken breast(boneless-skinless) and will boile it, and eat it with broccoli, green beans, good veggies.
will try to stay with chicken and fish for 2 weeks, to see how my body will change.
What do u think???
This is staring on Monday 7---for 2 straight weeks.

WTF??? Yes that is why 90% of guys don't train their freakin legs..pure laziness and well it hurts just a little to do it...Your legs are not going to get big..if you eat like shit..yeah u will get fat legs..but as far as muscle goes..NO!! You would have to take a lot of shit to get massive legs that were considered huge!!! What kind of fuckin trainer is this? Ask him why he thinks low weight high reps would be beneficial to a woman trying to build lean mass and lose bf?? Ask how you are stimulating that muscle growth w/ pink dumbbells?

 

[new@gettinbig]

Oh and if he is that smart I would seriously consider getting my body fat done by someone else as well...God only knows if he was doing that correctly!

Personally, I have problems with trainers who don't walk the walk of their own talk. I mean the last person you ask advice from to flatten your stomach is the man with the potbelly. At my gym there are a bunch of young, some overweight personal trainers, I just don't get that logic. Is it do as I say, not as I do?
