    Bf%

    i got my bf% tested and it was at 11.8% it was tested with the electrical gaget,so im guessing its around 10-12%

    but when doing that type of test does it matter if food was consumed about 1hr before the test?

    Is that the electronic thing that looks like a scale, and u stand on it barefoot? there are alot of factors that would change the readings. If ur dehydrated etc. Its not exactly accurate but its good at consistent monitoring

    How exactly does that thing work...just seems like a regular scale? I'm only guessing since I'm not real familiar with them, but if it weighs you, then food and water would affect it. Same reason i weigh a few pounds less in the morning than during day.

    These machines are so inaccurate as to be essentially worthless, particularly if you are a bodybuilder. I would stick with a 6-site caliper test administered by someone who knows what he is doing. Even then there is a substantial margin of error.

    We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.
