12% is pretty low bodyfat. I have to believe the average is higher, between 18-20%. Doesn’t alumni have submerged bodyfat testing? That is certainly the most accurate, followed of course by calipers used by a professional/experienced person.
Starting this upcoming weekend I’m considering switching to a CKD diet, the carb up days seem very enticing. Consuming fat for 66% of the allotted daily calories seems unhealthy though, however I haven’t done enough research.
ya the person really needs to know what they are doing, ive heard of people being off by up to 5% with calipers! Like i said a lot of pro bodybuilders walk on stage at around 5 or 6% and those guys look like they have none at all. Supposedly bruce lee only had 1.8% but i dont even know how u would measure that lol.
10lbs of fat is all you need to function… so me being 200lbs… that would be 5%… if you were 150lbs and you still had 10lbs of fat. you would be at 6.7%…
At 12% I have 24lbs of fat on my body…
THERE RESOURCES TOO… quit being fucking idiots
ooooo see how sweetness i am. I said bodybuilders are 5 or 6%, the chart says 5-8%. I also said 12-15 is average and most of the sports are right in that range, woot woot!
