@scanman43 Lol woops, I'm always horrible at picking up on sarcasm

@dawn16 It's real for everyone who takes from it what they are looking for. I have always had trouble finding an appropriate estimate for myself because I don't find a lot of pictures and height/weight descriptions of females that match my body type. It has probably helped many people estimate...

@fulfillingmycalling That's interesting about the bod pod scan! I had actually looked into doing this at first, but I ended up doing the DEXA and got my friend some referral cash :) I would definitely be interested in seeing the results! Though I typically don't hear cases of people saying...

@denice65 Thank you for clearing this up! I'm definitely going to ask for more information about how the software calculates this number the next time I go in. I did read that different levels of hydration will cause the number to vary, in that the more hydrated you are, the more likely the...

@nrnowlinma So glad to hear about someone else who had an experience like mine! I agree, like weight, it's still a black box number that doesn't reveal a lot about your body or your fitness level. I think physical performance and visual assessment are enough indicators of improvement for me...

@wangaaron Wow, 27 seems to be the magic number, haha it sounds like everyone got that! While I don't know how much of the percentage can be attributed to the boobs (I'm pretty small-chested so I don't think it'd be much of a factor at all for me), I would think that since we just have more fat...

@sheron They have a section called "Trunk" which has two subsections, "Android" and "Gynoid", and I'm assuming the leftover is the chest region. When I factor out the Android and Gynoid parts, the rest of the trunk is 5.9 lbs of fat and 23 lbs of lean mass (and then an additional 1.1 lbs of...

@dawn16 Of course! 6 days a week I do starved state HIIT first thing in the morning (sorta starved-state.. I have SciVation Xtend about 20 minutes before) 6 nights a week I rotate through one of the following: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, Back/Biceps, Legs, Speed & Heavy Bagwork, Sparring, Total...

@dawn16 Typically, the body fat tables that categorize "athlete", "fit", "good", "acceptable", etc. are still derived from older equations that don't take all of your body fat into consideration. Because of this, DEXA scans calculate a number that is usually around 2-5 points higher than those...

@lilbithmb Sure! Here are my measurements: neck: 14" waist: 26.5" hips: 36.5" right arm: 11.5" left arm: 11.5" right thigh: 20.5" left thigh: 20.5"

A nice reference of what 27% body fat looks like on a female The pictures are from this morning, right before hopping in my car and heading to DexaFit Atlanta. And more from within the past week So today was a reality check. I just got back from my DEXA scan, and really learned a lot about...
