Firstly, as I have recently learnt, how was your BF tested, calipers 3 or 7 points/scales? Secondly 17% is Excellent! Good Work!

thanks
i got it by the caliper 7 fold test, i know the caliper isnt the best and ive learned that the hydrostatic weighing is the best but it is pretty exspensive, and the caliper is free at my school.....

The caliper 7 is good. Thats what I use now after I realise that something was a bit off with the scales that do BF%.
From the charts I have seen it puts you up there in the Excellent/Lean area which is so awesome. What are your goals?

well my goals are for a six pack
but also i want to have a bit more difinition. i think my arms are good but i am pretty critical of myself and am a perfectionist so i never see anything even if its there, but thats just me i have an issue with that becasue i lost 50 pounds swimming in HS and i never want to get back to that awfull weight!!!! when i show people my pics they think its another person, so i guess my goals are basically more muscle def.....
