DEXA read me as 8%. I am 90% sure I"m not 8%. I'm not ripped. Anyone else get similar off result?

Why everyone is obsessed by fucking numbers?

Look in the fucking mirror!
Why are 90% of your posts you angrily shitting on other people and spewing your opinion which you demand is the one and only true opinion?

It's well known that body fat percentage cannot be accurately guessed by looking in the mirror. You heard a visceral fat versus subcutaneous fat? Did you know that fat holds on different parts of the body for different people? Some people like to know what percentage of their body is fat and obviously you don't. Who fucking cares.

Following this line of thinking, I'm guessing that you never get blood test done huh? You just go by FEELz for your hormone levels, liver values, blood counts, etc? Or maybe you look in the mirror and you can just "SEE" what the blood draw would tell you. You must be a wizard.

Seems that most of the threads you go to everyone else is wrong and you are right. This seems to be a very common occurrence for you. Have you ever considered making your own website where you can lay out all the truths? It would save us all a lot of time if we could just go to your website and read the truth and then we wouldn't have to wonder about anything anymore.

Lmao give the guy a break, he is the definition of a grumpy old man. No ill intentions, just a lonely grandpa bored as fuck.

Like that neighborhood senior telling all the teenagers not to skateboard in front of his house lol.

I would argue about the percentage and the demand remark, but most of the time I talk about facts.

Most of the people here are concerned about how they look. Guess what, mirror tells you how you look, not numbers. If a guy came in here and said BLA BLA BLA I need to hit 10% bodyfat because doctor said so, it would be a different conversation.

You are guessing wrong. 4 times a year and more if I need to figure something out of the ordinary. So no I am not a wizard, but I do make people feel bad if they spew shit without thinking not giving a flying fuck about their feelings.

Old yes, grumpy, guilty too. I don't mind skateboards though I'd they don't touch my lawn. :D
 
I just got my first DEXA scan. Mirror tells me overall i'm 10-13%. But I carry 8 mm fat/skin over a lot of my back. 13 mm in the love handles. I got that down from 28 mm, so I'm happy where I'm at. My ab skin fold is 5 mm. I seen ripped guys pinch their skin, and it's way less than my pinch. So I get a f*in 8% DEXA. The tech actual thought Id be 20% lol (I wear baggy clothes). She was really blown away at 8%. I wasnt happy b/c I thought if that 8% is true, then I'll never look ripped lol. She made it sound like she rarely sees % that low, so it's not like this machine just reads low. Maybe I have a watery type fat? Bc she said I have almost no visceral fat. I'm just thinking there's something a miss here and I think I wasted my time (it wasnt too $)
I had one meal that day, medium , 2 hrs before, and was normal for me hydrated.
Is it possible im actually 12+ % with a dexa saying 8? i really hope so b/c I'd like to look better with this back fat gone. Im not dieting hard, even more why 8%l doesnt make a lot of sense to me and im 51 lol.

TIA!

Dexa is not the best tool to use for stuff like this. Some youtube person named Derek was talking about it for a long time so now everyone says dexa this dexa that and he does not know what it is.

I'm a little older than you and I feel your pain. I have done everything and its not as easy as it was when we were 20 is it :mad:

There is about a handful or two of those guys in here, they are only here to be aggressive on the internet... I'm sure most of us could make 5 guesses for why it is so and hit the bullseye ... :D

Get your toxicity out of meso. You don’t lift, all you talk about is drugs and have nothing to contribute to anyone here.

Please stop posting, I am amazed Millard hasn’t banned you yet.

On top of being (and I quote UncleBurns) "angrily shitting on other people and spewing your opinion which you demand is the one and only true opinion", you are making some strange accusations. I have lifted for 12 years, since 1996 actually, only 12 because I had some breaks while being in the army and such... It's true that right now my health can't support lifting, because I've become way too heavy for my body to handle it, which would mean serious health complications - so my current goal is to lose enough weight as fast as possible so that I can get back into lifting again as fast as possible (simple for most people to understand). :rolleyes:

It's true I made a thread about what peds in the healthy end could support this goal ... (no steroids etc). and you where acting the same way in that thread as well.

Stop, just stop, you have been shitting and calling us bodybuilders in a bodybuilding forum braindead or whatever insult you were using when they contradicted your arguments.

Be humble and stop this ridiculous claims it just makes you look worse.

I mean clearheaded is more tolerable than you lol.

Not bodybuilders in a bodybuilding forum, just those who act like you do in all these threads. Big difference dude ;)
 
I don't know. When I was at my leanest (ab veins), DXA clocked me at 14%.

Maybe it was right, and we aren't thinking about how "14%" can actually look. Like Spaceman said.
What matters is to look good and for this camera and mirror coupled with measurements is possibly the best combo.

Uncle was talking about me, not @DECLAN. You are so retarded you cant distinguish between members.

True, I could still see abs at 18% bf, 7-8% is something totally different (Ive seen many professionals at 7-8% that think they are 3-4%, measured with calipers), but it's nonsense to say DEXA is not super accurate if it's working correctly (it have been proven to be so within 1%). If you raise your body size the organs just grow to support the size of the body, just as many taking androgens have more fat inside their guts (and in a few cases, less inside their brains as well :D *semi kidding*).

@narta I was talking about a little handful of you, that clearly can't handle the things you are taking neurologically - but act like aggressive, status-seeking animals - on an anonymous forum on the internet ;)
