@texasman I used https://www.bodyspec.com/ in San Francisco

@johannammmm Haha I actually recently switched from HMO to PPO and changed doctors largely because of this! My new GP is a sports medicine specialist and is down with the thiccness so long as I'm not taking steroids to get there :D

@tom4tot Yeah I honestly have a really hard time shaking it mentally. Especially because my doctor lectures me every time I get weighed (I'm usually overweight on the doctor's scale due to food, clothes, etc, so she's on me to lose weight). I feel like, since "normal" has such a wide range, like...

@tom4tot I'll be honest and tell you that I did find it validating, although I wish I wasn't so mentally tied to a number. I am close to being overweight according to BMI (and I might be overweight by the end of this bulk) so it was nice to have some confirmation that I am lean. The scan also...

@onegodjesusnameapostolic Thank you! Training back is my faaaavorite.

@terranova Hey thanks!! I've never seen that calculator, pretty cool! DEXA has like a 2% margin of error anyway so it's neat how much they line up.

@magpie0603 Thanks! Obviously I don't know what you look like but I think that I more upper body and less lower body muscle than most other lifter chicks; I love me some upper body bro lifting but I really have to force myself to do volume squats! So muscle distribution could play a role as well.

@arthurj01 Duuude I totally feel you on all of this! Definitely agreed on bone density being important, heavier bones are definitely a worthwhile trade-off for being in a higher weight class. And yeah I look at pictures of myself next to other girls and I just look so much bigger than...

@n9070 I toooootally get where you're coming from. I'm dealing with something similar; I talked about it in the "what's next?" section in my last meet report. I somehow got it in my head that since I'm short and borderline overweight then obviously I have a ton of weight that I can afford to...

@abosie Awesome!! We are probably inverted in BJJ and powerlifting skills lol, I am an average blue belt :)

@dawn16 I honestly just googled "dexa San Francisco" and found BodySpec.

@johannammmm Haha exactly I'm just working on my lat-to-waist ratio :D

@johannammmm DUDE RIGHT?! I noticed the same thing too! It's funny because I have a blocky torso and narrow hips so if you just take measurements I have a large waist/hip ratio but according to the scan my Android/Gynoid ratio is great (0.5) and I have zero organ fat. Now I know that it's mostly...

I enjoyed looking at all of the DEXA data from /@jedidvena so I figured I'd add mine. Album of results + pics: . I used the Google photos "auto" option to brighten them up a bit but otherwise no filter. Pics were taken first thing in the morning with no pump; posting swolfies online without a...
