![]() However, it’s nice to know as a baseline estimate (yes, estimate) where my LBM is, how it’s changed over the year and what I look like at specific body fat percentage ranges. I’ll use this range of body fat percentage to gauge when I should start bulking. In any case, I’ll post the results here |

Thought it would be a motivator to keep getting leaner (until contradictory results came out), but it was nothing more than another measure with minor flaws. Win the battle of the ego war. It can be a terrible thing. |

I could repost my pics from after my DEXA scan from three years ago. It's all documented on old logs, but none of the images are up due to Photobucket. I posted the pictures on here and Lyle's old forum before the scan. All estimates were about 7 - 9%. The scan said I was 9.2%, and my torso (which was what the photo on here was of) was 7%. This was after a PSMF, but I made sure to refeed and have a week at maintenance before the scan. I also drank some water the morning of the scan. Pictures were taken the morning of the scan. |

Also, Was it reported 14%2% or 9.2%. Or the 9.2% was adjusted down 5% due to Nhanes method? Hope all is well. Happy holidays to all. |

Happy holidays to you as well. I hope Santa leaves a 4 compartment model DEXA machine under (next to?) the tree for you. |

![]() As Krieger has mentioned indivual dxas can have 3 to 5% off. Now over a large n number of readings for same subject and same machine it'll be much better...pretty simple gauge r&r principle reallu. There are youtube videos of contest ready guys coming in at 10% and people few weeks out clocking 6. Mirror>>>>dxa imo.

The bodybuilders being at 10% could be due to which method the machine used. With the Nhanes method 10% is about 5%. I was fortunate enough to have two scans done about 2 - 3 years apart, on the same machine. Both had me at ~9%, indicating I had lost muscle mass during that time. Which lines right up with strength numbers dropping/the mirror. |
