wtf faggot, are you gay?!

what's why calipers tend to suck?



yeah, my bench isn't that amazing, that's for sure. to me, strength in your legs/back/shoulders is most important.



agreed although I didn't on purpose because everyone was calling BS on my squat numbers. That said, I know my legs don't look as strong as they are.

if im thread making food a while

you've got thick legs... but i still dont believe the 3x8x295... you gota post a video to make me believe that... lol

chinaman is correcto

also, 8-10%bf

edit: 10% imo

Picture + caliper's result = why.

That's not exactly a super high squat...
But we all know Jimmy can't squat, so everything over 225 is impressive.

fair enough on the opinion. I doubt I'll post a vid of it though. last time I tried to post a video online it failed like 10 times so I just gave up.



well like I said, it was just a pinch test with the calipers. I'm a lot more lean than the picture shows tbh. Like you can see all the fibres of my chest/shoulders if I flex them, same with my back. And you can see my ribs and side ab thingys quite a bit usually. And my legs literally have no fat on them, it's kinda weird. she literally could not do a pinch test on my legs because she simply couldn't grab any shin at all. What she did to compensate was just opened the calipers to what she figured was there for skin I guess and took the reading that way. She opened them to 7.5mm and took the reading there. She was shocked when she tried grabing skin on my leg.

I'd wager money that my BF% is lower than 8-8.5%. 5.7% seems low to me too though.

According to the profile printout of all this crap the chest pinch test measured 4mm, abdomen was 10mm and the thigh was 7.5mm. But again, the leg one was a guess because she actually couldn't do a real reading because she couldn't grab any skin, let alone get the caliper on my leg.




I agree it's not that high of a squat for someone that weighs 200-220+ lbs. But I weigh 167lbs. I'm not a very big guy. I've never seen anyone anywhere near my weight able to squat the weight I can.

I'ma say this bluntly, caliper tests are a crock of shit.

You have fat at the "love handle" area, to the sides of your obliques, and judging by your legs, shoulders, arms, chest, you're at about 8-10+% imo. I'm tired and cranky, so thats why i'm being a fart.

Assuming you have good depth to your squat, gj. stats are definitely possible at your weight.

yes, good depth. usually 90deg. or more while down in the squat. None of that barely bend the knee BS. And you're totally right at the fat at my sides, but it's less than it looks. I think looking at someone irl gives a totally different outlook than a picture. You get depth for one. I think you'd say my fat % is closer to 8% if you saw me irl. In any case we agree that the pinch test is wrong so why split hairs on 2%, right?

i would say you're about 10% as well. if you were 7% you'd have more definition in abs for sure. not that 10% is a bad thing, its still decently low, but you're not 7% imo
