    Lost 20 pounds but still same bodyfat?!?!?! WHAT?!

    According to this:


    January 2010: 180 lbs at 14.8% bf with 153 lbm s95 b115 d135 = 345 lb total
    January 2011: 210 lbs at 14.2% bf with 180 lbm s245 b275 d365 = 885 lb total
    October 2012: 221 lbs at 14.7% bf with 189 lbm s245 b335 d500 = 1080 lb total
    November 2012: 212 lbs at 14.8% bf with 181 lbm s315 b345 d545 = 1205 lb total


    How does this compute??? How can my bodyfat be the same throughout my whole entire gym experience of 2 years and 10 months??? How can I lose 9 lbs in 30 days, but lose 8 lbs of lbm muscle, but still gain 45 lbs on deadlift, 10 lbs on bench, and 60 lbs on squat.

    Someone please explain this to me. None of this makes any sense.

    Pretty simple, you're using just about the most worthless piece of equipment on the planet. Get a bod pod or post pics here, especially is you have before/after pics.

    Bump...

    Here are my progress pictures. I don't know how that machine claims that I've been 14.8% the entire time.

    That's what I thought. Those machines can't be accurate at all. My friend who is 5'10" at 178 lbs with no abs and is a little chunky says he is 10.4%!!! haha... there is no way he is 10.4% and I am 14.8%.

    Honestly, you look around 14% in all those pictures except the one from Jan 2011 where you are closer to 12-13%. Pretty incredible transformation though!
    Stats:

    1RM
    Bench Press = 255
    Squat = 295
    Deadlift = 405

    ^this. I have one of those too but i stopped using it a while ago, it's very inaccurate. I just measure my waist size & look in the mirror to track progress now.
