ForemanRules said:Had my body fat tested on friday.......they did the electric kind...
It said 18.5%.....I think it's full of shit....
What is a good way to test for body fat%
Thats good to know.....I almost shit when I saw how high I was.....and thats after dropping 12+lbs of fat...so before my diet it probably would have said 25%...P-funk said:best bet is just to get someone do skin folds. Hydrostatic testing or MRI are supposed to be the most acurate but they are really expensive.
On the scale that I have it measures your BF for you when you step on it also. Those things are way off when they use electronic waves. It reads me at at anywhere from 23-27% BF.....lol, I have the best abs ever for someone with 27% BF!![]()

Yes, I train 50% of my sets to failure......so 9 or 10 sets for a big muscle kill me.LAM said:i'm pretty much the same way, I don't really enjoy eating. I noticed that your volume is pretty low, have you always trained like this ?

Yes thats what I did my last workout....it felt good but ultimately it began to hurt..CowPimp said:Just out of curiosity, have you tried benching powerlifter style? Sometimes that helps in alleviating certain problems associated with bench pressing bodybuilder style.
You're pretty damned strong Foreman. That would be a shame if you had to stop flat pressing, you have some really awesome pressing strength! Ah well, decline and incline presses are great too.
ForemanRules said:Yes thats what I did my last workout....it felt good but ultimately it began to hurt..
I think I just need to stop all peck work for 2 or 3 weeks.....its my best muscle so it really doesn't matter...
I was going to ask you, if I were to put in a second workout a week for upper body ( not legs) what volume, reps, sets and intensity would you recommend???
I was thinking of 50% of normal sets at a lower intensity.....no sets to failure???
