First hydrostatic body fat test with pics and detailed report for reference
hey guys i know a lot of you can't afford or couldn't find anywhere to get an accurate BF test one (ME TOO!) but i really really lucked out today. I went to my gym and outside was a huge van/truck thing that had a mobile hydrostatic body fat testing clinic inside! it was really cool and I got a discount for being prior military WOOP! Anyways they give you your body fat percent, weight (on land and on water) lol, and also your resting metabolic rate along with approx daily caloric expenditure.
now i'm not an expert on all these tests and their accuracy, but according to the sticky here on bb.com, the hydrostatic testing is supposed to be pretty accurate right below a dexa scan (which i literally can't find anywhere)
My results were:
height: 4'10"
body fat %: 11.3%
weight: 108.0 lbs
RMR: 1456 cals
appox daily expenditure: 2080 cals
i was expecting a lot higher BF %, the guy told me to guess it before we started and i said 17% lol i guess i'm too hard on myself... anyways here I put some pics of myself so if any of you wanna guesstimate your bodyfat percent or if you were interested in the test maybe it'll help somebody out! lol i also put a pic of the report. see you guys later !
btw this is on the 5th week of my 12 week cut... gonna bulk afterwards and start my first journal :D
