Pictures of Bodyfat Percentages

I think it's the "..." that's stuck into the link instead of the actual text.

I wish I would have known that sooner :D...

It should be fixed now....

Good post...But this will also vary on a someones height, body frame, etc....

Bodyfat % is exactly that - a measurement of your bodyfat % - not total body composition. What are you referring to?

:confused:

I'm saying that someone who's 5'8" and someone who is 5'2" and have same BF%...Well the shorter person will look more defined and much bigger than the taller one....

Not true--it's a percent, not an absolute quantity of fat. Your argument would hold true if you were talking about absolutes. Different weights at different weights will correspond to looking bigger but a percent will hold true for any height--and mass for that matter.

I concur ;)...

Thanks, this is really helpful

Doesnt the first guy in the shredded category look like a photoshop? The head looks too young and the facial expression seems wrong for the body's pose

Exactly....



I'd also like to add that I question some of those pics / %'s

Which one's? I don't really know what over 12% would look like and I can tell better when I can see legs, too, but the only one I would really debate is maybe the 12%--he looks a little more lean than that to me.

I think some of these %'s are too high. The last one I think the guy is below 3% (doing a 3 or 7 point test that is)
