Me at 7.0%BF - DEXA - Wanna Be Big Bodybuilding and Weightlifting Forums

Adam · 08-29-2009, 10:07 AM

Here's my latest dexa from last week, also took some pics the following day to show what a true 7.0% looks like. DEXA is the most accurate BF% testing available too.

weight at test was 175 lbs

Adam · 08-29-2009, 10:08 AM

rest of pics

dynamo · 08-29-2009, 10:10 AM

lol I love how your head is 17.2% fat. How does this dexa thing work?

cphafner · 08-29-2009, 10:10 AM

Looking great Adam. Why did you get so lean? Any reason or just for kicks?

Adam · 08-29-2009, 10:14 AM

sorta just for the kicks! lol

I like being in better shape now, gives me something to do! haha

cphafner · 08-29-2009, 11:04 AM

Well that's awesome. Good job. If you really wanted to you could get in a bbing show in maybe a month. Impressive.

Travis Bell · 08-29-2009, 12:34 PM

Very impressive man!

TremL96 · 08-29-2009, 01:20 PM

Nice. Kind of interesting how much each side differs in BF%. If I were you though, I would've cut off the top half in the first three pictures, that has all your info... But maybe that's just my dad talking.

Adam · 09-08-2009, 06:37 PM

I hate clicking on pics.......

If I find my old dexa i'll through that up too

Out of curiosity what BF did you come down from and how long did you diet to get to 7.5%.

QFT, fathead. Actually, I'm guessing it's due to the grey matter between his ears.

Damnit, now I might have to try to set a goal for 7-8% bf instead of 10%.

tomv · 09-09-2009, 05:17 AM

Awesome physique mate, good work!

mmafighter170 · 09-13-2009, 01:28 PM

i agree nice n lean! i love to lean out every year too not to compete just to get rid of the old fat!

Guido · 09-16-2009, 10:49 AM

You should try to get your head fat down to 7%, too. That should be your new goal.

BTW, try to post your pics right side up next time!

Behemoth · 09-19-2009, 03:53 PM

Damn ripped brother. Is that expensive to have done?

Pat · 09-22-2009, 03:07 AM

Lookin' damn good bro!

getfit · 09-22-2009, 03:25 AM

Holy crap! looking tremendous Adam

Adam · 09-23-2009, 01:07 AM

Thanks for the comments!

Bill - Came down from ~15% in Feb. just took my time for it and didn't have any goals in mind. I just found foods that I liked to eat along with a decent workout regime and just went at it.

Behemouth- only $90.00

I was 175lbs in the pics (dehydrated, shoudl have been 178) and now I'm up to 185 lbs, Think I'll just keep at it without changes till I hopefully get to 200 lbs.

Behemoth · 09-25-2009, 07:31 PM

Where do you get it done at?

Brian C · 09-26-2009, 10:53 PM

Really impresive Adam. great job Bro

Adrian101 · 10-09-2009, 11:29 PM

Amazing what do you eat usually Adam? I'm following you, no going to worship your routine. Lol... great job btw bro.

galileo · 10-11-2009, 12:03 PM

Very interesting. You look tremendous, but not what I see 7% associated with when people are speaking of "this is what x% really looks like." I'd put you more in the 9% range by that standard. Goes to show that it's very very difficult to tell from pictures, everyone is different. Again, you look great - wish I could be anywhere near it.

How much did the DEXA scan cost you? I'd be very interested in getting one done to have a true baseline.

That's because people always think they are leaner than they really are.

I was actually viewing it as the opposite. Most people think they're leaner, yes. Most threads that try to prove that point go too far in the opposite direction, imo.
