What 7% Body Fat Looks Like According To Dexa

[concreter]

Nice! So I guess I'm not exaggerating at 5% All Summer!

If you don't mind me asking what did DEXA cost you?

It’s been 6 or 7 years since my last DEXA scan... but when I was getting them, the osteoporosis place I went to was charging $75 for one or $125 for two. I’m up in the PNW.

Your 50 pounds bigger and eat carbs!!! :headbang:

Just curious, at 8% on tren looking leaner, was it less subcutaneous fat and more visceral according to the scan?

I'll have to look that up later. Not sure off the top of my head

Just curious, what gear/dosages are you running for this cut?

 

[TheOtherOne55]

The main dexa company i used in So Cal I use a lot.
I always try to stay fasted and do morning scans every couple months.

I alwaays think its a little off though.
I did a reading today and got my results back—%10 at 293lbs.

Testosterone, trenbolone, masteron.

Not discussing dosages - that just leads to circular debates.

Dude, post a picture! That's got to make you one of the all-time biggest members here.

 

[Cracker69]

I wasnt looking to debate or judge you brother, just wanted to see mainly if you are keeping test high and still able to get sharper or if you had to drop it down lower? Getting ready to start dieting myself.

 

[concreter]

I went 2 weeks in on the Cut stack. 300 mgs pr mil every other day for 2 weeks. I Quit then after every striation was out and nothing left to burn but muscle!

this is why I think Dexa's or at least my Dexa can be off.
I knoowww 10% and I don't think I'm a true 10 here. (I was 9.6% on the dexa)
I personally think im much more of that 12-13%.

This is me at Golds in Venice on Sunday.

I'd say it's more 12-13% as well. Still great condition for being over 290, very impressive.

Dexa scans do seem to have trouble with muscular individuals. Josh Wade posted his Dexa scan 5 days before the New York Pro and it claimed his arms had more fat than his legs which is obviously ridiculous.

On my recent scan, it showed my left arm have over 2lbs. less tissue than my right, which clearly isn't the case, and the scan I had before that showed both arms with the same amount of lean tissue.

I just had one that came back at 13.8%. I can tell you im lower than that and look about the same as the op yet his came back at 7%. These things are all over the place.

Geez, I was planning on getting one of these things.

Now I'm having second thoughts about spending the money.

Even with us chiming in with all of our own DEXA problems it stilllll is the most accurate representation. Ive done underwater, BodPod, etc and THEY were alllll over the place.

I just think its very difficult to measure a large muscular individual

Thats because they were built for the general population AND NOT A 290 GORILLA. Lol srsly though if done correct and consistent I'll pick body fat calipers in the "most problematic area" so for me the low back.

It definitely gives you good information so even if the total fat is not accurate it gives you a starting point for future growth and fat loss (as long as you go to the same machine). Mirror is the best gauge. Better than a random number

x2.

I KNEW my Dexa's were reading wrong 3-4 months ago.
I did a pre-offseason scan—just to get a good starting point.
And then this one.

My pre was 8.3%...post is 9.7%
But the LBM increase was huge. As long as you are tracking with SOMETHING, you're doing something right.
