Thanks for the link. I'm also kind of curious about the woman BF content. Obviously I'm not a woman but your 15.6 sounds like it could be high. I've been tested on a regular basis in my gym. I was preparing to take my 2nd black test last july. 8 months before the test I started a powerlifting program along with cardio work. They were concerned a little about the way I lifted weights and performed my cardio. I push myself to absolute limits on everything I do. Now 3 months in advance my training was switching to more cardio and less weights. 1 month prior went to all cardio 5 days a week for 40min. a day. My BF (approx.-that's all you really can do) went down to between 7.2 -7.6. Once again that's an appoximate there's really no way to get an exact figure. I'm 5'7" as well and 154. I know I'm male but if I took off 30 pounds I'd be left with bare bones. Anyway you sound like your in great shape with a nice toned body. (I'm not trying to pick you up either, I have a wife - there's no way for me to try to balance 2 women ) Anyway I'm not sure what terms to use there so I picked the best that came to mind.

To put it in perspective, I beleive pro bodybuilders (Ms. Universe etc) Compete at around 8-10% BF. They have no boobs . Where as Men can go down to 3-5%

 

[Bagatha]

Some examples: 2002 Mr. & Ms. Olympia.

Bwahaha ok that last one ended up smaller than I expected but c'mon everyone knows what Ronnie looks like.

 

[Bagatha]

Me at "13"% pfff I was much fatter then that. I was prob closer to 18% like I said before.

Well from the picture of you I seen your just fine the way your are. Looking good. As for the olympia I just wish I could go there. The newest Flex mag. has some more results of the Mr. & Ms. Olympia as well as the fitness olympia. Some of the male competitors are a little overboard. Ronnie Coleman has just awesome size but I'll never be able to achieve anything like that due to small stature. I'll enclose a picture of me in a little bit when I find it on my disc. That's if anyone really cares.

Castillo! Nothing from you either, I see you lurking around in here.

Wait a second I don't have long hair. Actually I had to go back and mess with the pic. so it would be bigger. Now you can see how scrawny I really am.

The body fat reccommendations for women my age is <17% for an athlete, 17-22% for lean body type, I forgot the normal range but it's over 22%.

So there.

 

[jfarnsworth]

That's an interesting find. Thanks for the info. It still seems a little high but again, what do I know.

jfarnsworth,

It's really common for men to think that it's a really high body fat percentage for women but it's totally normal. It has to do with our reproductive system and how women store fat as opposed to men etc.

 

[TkdWarrior]

Your weight is: 180 pounds
Your sex is: Male
Your Body Fat percentage is: 19
Your Lean Body Mass is: 146 pounds
Your 'Ideal' weight is: 168 pounds
Your activity factor is: 0.91
Your recommend blocks per day are: 18 (135 grams of protein)

The Bodyfat Percentage (BF%) of a 70 inch male with a 15 inch neck, and a 35 inch abdomen is 19% Recommended BF% for a man is 15%.

hmm intresting....
well thanx for the link...
i wonder how much error % is in that calculation, any guessess??
