My Bodyfat. . . WHAT THE FUCK???

TooPowerful4u · May 10, 2004

I am a personal trainer at Workout World, and i had one of my coworkers take my bodyfat today. He has a degree and lots of experience so i trust him. He did a 4 point skinfold with calipers. Biceps, triceps, back, and obliques. Im gonna get pix up soon, but until then... is it fuckin POSSIBLE that i have 22% bodyfat at 5'8 208lbs, very visible abs and serratus, visible seperation in quads, somewhat visible seperation in arms, and and visible seperation in my upper back and shoulders also????? He clipped me at 60mm. WTF? Im so confused.

Hey

Weren"t you just around 176 a few weeks ago in a show? Thats 30 pounds and sounds about right.

TooPowerful4u · May 11, 2004

Yes i was 176 a few weeks ago, but a lot of the gain was water weight. No way i gained 30lbs bodyfat, and put 40lbs on my bench, 60 on squat, and 4 reps on my deadlift. I gotta get a pic up, is it possible to be seperated and lean looking, yet 20% bodyfat?

I was thinking the same thing Phil.

Most of your gain is water, food and crap, which shouldn't show up as fat.

That can't be right. very visible abs and serratus? Post up a few pics....

Eh, false alarm. I thought this thread was long gone lol. Turns out the guy who measured me was not doin the skinfold right. I was tested at my other gym on 2 different days by 2 different trainers at 7.8 and 8.2. Then i was measured at my own gym by the head PT at 7.6 so i guess he just fucked up haha. Neeevveerrrmiiinnndddd.
