is this really 20% bf??

[supra5469]

I just had the bioimpedence done and i came in at 20%. I can't see my abs at all yet like you can yours. I have to guess under 15% no question

Top 4 abs only are visable when flexed = 10-12%

Full abs are visable when flexed = 8-9%

All abs visable when relaxed = 5-7%

I dont buy this!

people can hold fat in different places

True. This is a method Lee Haney spoke to me about one time when i met him in birmingham. To determine b/f percentage by sight as accurate as poss, use this formula.

Near enough spot on if you ask me.

My upper abs are looking pretty good, and my lower are more hidden (and my trouble area is my love handles). I am cutting right now, trying to push to my lowest BF% which I guestimate at around 10%, maybe just under (I was 24 at the time too, so 10 years ago)

It is just discouraging to work so hard, then get told your fat lol....I know I am below 20% (well, was pretty sure) but thought I'd try and get some positive feedback from ya'll before I decided to say FUCKIT and eat some McDonalds or something.

btw, they used calipers.

thanks all

weird 20 % on two caliper tests, id suggest you take some more pics bro so we can have a better idea

I agree with everyone else, no way it is 20%

I really like that determination. Anyone else have any more input?

I like this formula, helps me realize I am not fat anymore.

In that picture yes. To me it looks like you are holding a bit of water under there though. Try drinking shit loads of water tomorrow and keep carbs low-moderate, sodium low, then try again. I think under 10.
