**palumbo** · 02-21-2006, 04:35 AM

ok bros time to get back int he sattle after about 7 months of letting myself go due to traveeling work buying a house its time to get back in the game

just a couple of quick ?s what do u think my bodyfat is in this pic? i just changed gyms to get a fresh start and u have to do a mini physical before they let u on the floor.

i got my bf done and it seemed a little higher then i thought they used a machine i hadnt heard of they typed in my weight and body frame size she said large she attached some thing to my arm and said it sends a signal to my bones and depending on how long it takes to get there it will tell us my bodyfat

anyone heard of this ?>

5"10 235 thanks again bros

I agree with WHOADY4SHOADY

20%. Thas not a knock at all but I think ppl seem to forget what a true BF measuring is. I would say I am a way bit leanre then you and wouldn't go lower then 14 for me.

don't worry though with smoe hard work and diet you will be around 12 in no time

GOOD LUCK

I'm not sure what it is, but it's not low that's for sure. Rather than playing a guessing game, tell us your BF and your goals so we can help you get there. You have a lot of work to do. Goodluck.

18+ and I'm being rather modest

**Haro3** · 02-21-2006, 08:32 AM

**Anthony C** · 02-21-2006, 08:39 AM

**TREN-dy_Party_Dancer** · 02-22-2006, 01:34 AM

look like a whale eh?

**chest6** · 02-22-2006, 02:28 AM

no where near 34%. I would go with 20%

**Darren1968** · 02-22-2006, 06:40 AM

i would say 20-22% body fat....i have little titties like you & i was measured a couple of weeks back at 22% bodyfat.
I will start cutting as well soon....but i have a really bad cold that i cant seem to get rid of for the past 10days.

20ish. good foundation to work with.

**cfiler** · 03-12-2006, 09:26 PM

I'd say mid-twenties. Last time I was measured I was 22%, and I was abit more cut... so I'd say probably 24-5% Definately not mid-thirties though.

**tbody66** · 03-13-2006, 12:09 AM

mid twenties

***SPIKE*** · 03-13-2006, 01:39 PM

Can't be too precise with this but arond 20%+ is a good ball park number to work with.

The best thing to do is go get it checked. Your last resort shoud be hand held measuring tools. Those things are as accurate as the RDA. Hydrostatic weighing is one of the most accurate but most dont have access to tanks.
