I had my readings taken at work yesterday and am happy about how the readings came out

My general lifestyle is fit and healthy throughout the week. fri-sun everything goes out the window.


Height 175cm, Weight 75kg

My readings// Recommended -

Fat-9.6% // 12-18%
fat weight-7.2% // 10-14%
Lean-67.8% // 77-70%
Lean weight-18.9% // nothing written
Total body weight-75kg // 77-83kg
Water-65.2% // 55-65%
Total body water-48.9% // 41-49%

Est Metabolic rate at rest - 2067 kcal
Est Average Energy Required - 3515 kcal
BMI 24.5 // 20-25

I was impressed with these results. I think health is the best achievement in life and I have just succeeded.

My aim is to try and turn my current man boobs into pecks, however its taking time. Also turn my stomach into abs. What is the best exercie to convert them? (I could stop drinking at the weekend but I enjoy it and its part of my lifestyle)

General weekly diet goes like this

Breakfast, Porridge, honey, banana, hand of pumpkin seeds/other nuts
mid morning - pot of cottage cheese, apple, banana, small piece of soreen loaf
lunch - tesco chicken salad sandwich, tropical drink, crisps
dinner - chicken/fish/other meat, salad/rice/brown pasta, 1/2 pepper and other random ingredients

Ive never really understood BMI. What if you take a fit and healthy rugby player who is 5' 9, but weights 20 stone because they are all muscle. BMI would probably class them as morbidly obese

What did you get the fat measurements taken with?

3 small electrodes on hand arm and foot. It only took a second

I'm suprised with my fat percentage. I thought it would be a lot higher. My stomach isnt exactly flat

Maybe its because I hold water like a cactus!
 
Callipers would have been more accurate. Still, well done on your achievements. :)

You won't be able to convert fat into abs around the belly, you'll have to do some resistance work, and develop some muscle mass.

Swimming and situps should solve then hopefully

No chance im posting a picture on here... maybe in a few months time
 
Situps will just build muscle very very slowly (unless you do weighted ones) they won't flatten your stomach, but they'll give you some shape possibly. Can't go wrong with swimming however.

Ive been building up to doing the side to side ones with 5kg and the killer ones where you lay on your back, lay with your feet slightly off the floor and arms slightly off the floor. Then balance a 5kg plate on your feet, situp and grab it, then slowly move back down behind your head and repeat.

Probably a poor description, but i dont know the name. After a few sets of 15 if feels like your stomach is about to burst open
 
Please don't do "side to side ones", which I'm assuming are russian twists?

You're taking the wrong approach if you're trying to build a 6 pack by doing situps.

Also, if you have moobs you definitely don't have sub 10% bf :)

I'm a bit confused all those stats seem a bit contradictory. IE 77-83KG is recommended weight for someone 175cm? That's what 13 stone? Seems a bit on the heavy side for an 'avg joe'?

Also when did BMI change to 20 I thought it was 18 or 19 depending on who you asked.
 
^That would also be the wrong approach...

You need a balanced exercise regime. Ultimately, people want a balanced physique anyway, even if they haven't realised it yet :)

The chances of him having gyno aren't as high as the body fat measurements being inaccurate.
 
Oh i know but i was just throwing out the possibility.

And i'm not suggesting that he just drops everything else, simply that adding that exercise may be beneficial for him building strength / size.
 
Maybe I do have a bit of Gyno, im not sure. Either way, there must be a way to convert this breast tissue to muscle. I've seen pictures of women with pecks instead of breasts (which looks rank IMO)
