Yeah, the electronic methods generally suck...
Here's some more info on a few other methods: http://exercise.about.com/cs/weightloss/a/bodyfat.htm
There's 2 pages, I'm pretty sure hydrostatic's the most accurate, but it generally costs money to have it tested that way. I think it's somewhere around $20.

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!
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.

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 ?
I hit a 405 bench at 206 raw and natural at 19....doing only 4 sets of bench and 3 sets of incline....and thats it...........but back then it was 75% of sets to failure and hitting chest about 3 times every 2 weeks.

Just saw your journal... Not bad, I'm trying to do now what you have been doing.
For the last 3 weeks I have been trying to recomp as much as possible.
I'm down 5 lbs. Don't know bf% though...So I hope I'm doing well.
I think I am, as I am taking in more protein than ever before...With a lot less junk food.
and I'm eating around 2400-3000 cals a day, which is alot for someone trying to lose weight with my statistics...

7 miles of running?
Isn't that a little excessive?
Couldn't you modify your diet instead of running 7 miles?
Its only 2 days of running.BigDyl said:7 miles of running?

Plus I will work up to that......right now I can only do about 3 miles max so it will be a 3 mile day then a 2 mile day ( 5 a week total)....I can fine tune from their.

Do you think you will see some kind of doctor for your chest?
Or do you think its just pulled/strained?
Just gonna wait out the 3 weeks and see i guess?

yeah...I'd like to take it <cough...cough> easy w/ these #'s too...
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.

Yes thats what I did my last workout....it felt good but ultimately it began to hurt..CowPimp said:
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???
ForemanRules said:
If you're going to keep the volume and level of effort the same for your other workouts, then that would probably be a decent place to start. My preference would be to more evenly spread the work between the two, but having a low effort and high effort day is a good way to cycle intensity within the same microcycle. Bompa recommends cycling between bouts of different levels of effort intensity like that in the same week.
If anything, it's better to start out conservatively and add in more volume if you feel you can handle it. If you go a little overboard and end up overreaching then you can regress back to a previous level of volume or slightly lower to prevent becoming overtrained and allow your body to supercompensate for that period of overreaching.
