**rioters** · 09-05-2005, 10:45 AM

ok so i was wondering
if u test ur body fat % while on steroids
how will it affect the reading if ur bloated with water
make it less? cause u got water in ur system and therefore total fat in ur body is less of the total
or make it more ? cause the water some how makes it look like fat and if u drop the water its like theres less fat%
or if u drop only water then in relation uve got more fat%
can someone maybe please clear this up for me

fat is fat, water is water. You can have water submersion test done....this will give you: %BF, %water, and %LBM. This is the test that our wrestling team used to take to see what we could afford to lose/NCAA rules.

if they test you accurately enough no the water should no be an issue...

You hold water inside your muscles, fat is outside.
