DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

[Venom X]

whatever's clever man, i doesn't matter much to me anyway, as long as i look good lol, im just reporting what i was told, i was actually surprised when they told me cause i thought it was closer to 6.5 or so but whatever... like i said its a standard that i can compare future tests to accurate or not.

Make sure the same individual tests you each time, although most likely inaccurate and gains or losses in bodyfat will most likely be accurate.

At a glance you look somewhere around 8-9% (8 being generous)

Venom X,

Who gives a shit about % bodyfat, you don't see competition judges prodding Ronnie Coleman with calipers and writing the results on his scorecard, you could tell me that Kevin Levrone was 30% bodyfat, it would mean jack, he still looks amazing.

You look in great shape, good genetics, balance, symetry and muscularity.

Personally I don't believe in undertraining a body part to allow others to supposedly catch up, if your training all the muscles right then the rest is down to genetics.

Your arms don't look out of place relative to the rest of your body so go to it.

In any case, don't you think it would have been a shame if Tom Platz had stopped training his legs because they were growing too well?

if you want to use benchmarks it is better to just record the millimeters recorded for the sites (use about 8). don't put them in the formula as that is when it goes to shit.

I agree SC, however... it appears people here are mistaken about how much body fat is actually carried. To say youre 5.5% (not taking anything away from him, he's in excellent shape/condition) but theres a strong misunderstanding about body fat norms. I remember back in the day when an announcers said "Bo Jackson comes into this game at around 1% bodyfat, thats amazing" Now most fans think thats stellar, but anyone with any sense knows thats comical. 5.5% is a normal competition body fat level, to be that year around is unhealthy.

Check the NSCA's Position Statement on body fat. Good stuff.

Yeah and they used to say The Rock was at 2%. I laughed when I saw that.

So he's not? Damnit, why are you ruining my life?

[Timma]

Oh yeah and Santa isn't real. :P

You look as jacked as ever venom!! Nice work. And your actual BF reading is irrelevant when you are as ripped as you are! ;)

Yellow: lets just call it 15%:D

Mr. Incredible: Good points bro, however i think i will keep trying this until mid January to see how it works for me, after that i think i will move to a pre exhaustion routine, where i work shoulders and arms first so when i hit chest and back they will be targeted more directly.

Stonecold - excellent point i will get the mm next time i get tested, i believe they have the old measurments on file also

Timma - no Santa? :mad: he told me he was gonna bring me some chest thickness and lat width for christmas, oh well

TP - Thanks as always

I agree with the above post, its pretty irrelevant, you look great, so it doesnt matter if its 5% or 25%.....

[musils]

[dreamgirl]

[dude]

I would be interested to hear what your workout is like. Sets, reps, frequency and do you train for power or pump? Thanks in advance!
