Body Fat Testing at Untamed Strength

Can you guess the body fat percentage of the Untamed Strength members??

[@DMUber]

Man, Alan forgot to tell me to train untamed at the end, and since watching this, my training has been very tame. Very tame indeed.

[@capoman1]

Some surprising results. Some guys looked pretty fat or skinny yet had higher/lower fat percentages than others that looked fatter/skinnier. Based on these results, I don't see much of a reason to measure bf percentage. Just take progress pics and who cares what the number is.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Yeah. That's a lot to do with how much muscle mass you have too. Thicker muscles will show better through fat than thinner ones, and of course, not all lean mass is muscle mass. This is why there is a difference, plus what Mike said in the video about fat storage.

[@rbarreira2]

I had the exact same reaction: the only thing this video tells me is that either these results are inaccurate, or if they're accurate then body fat percentage says very little about looks.

[@darioinfini]

@@rbarreira2 Same. The results were really surprising. And based on the last bit about where your body wants to store that last bit of fat, I might never see abs. I will keep working towards them but I'll understand that if I don't see them, or see them much, it's not for lack of trying, cos I'm busting my ass over here.

[@T4Slipped]

+Daryl Yue THANK YOU

[@klegsy]

+FSociety subcutaneous fat.

[@polyakoviv]

+Daryl Yue all those numbers that were given in the vid must be adjusted by ~+5%

[@Lars16]

Dexa scan is not as inaccurate as the man says it is. It's recommended by so many medical institutions and doctors around the entire globe. My belief is that he is biased because his business is the direct competitor of Dexa scan. But it's alright. His business is still very great because he offers a lot of insight and tips for people to use.

[@15eshabani]

I was thinking the same thing. DEXA is as accurate as it gets.

[@ccax74]

+The Raggedy Doctor DEXA is not so super accurate. Both DEXA and hydrostatic weighing are reasonably accurate on average, but can have errors of up to 5 percentage points for body fat. Most accurate methods are still MRI/CT, but rarely used due to the high costs.

[@Lars16]

+Clairice Dale DEXA is insanely good at measuring bone density of your body, but it still does a good job at delivering the rest of the data as well.

[@MAGAMAN]

+HihuLars Dexa Scan sounds like a solution looking for a problem. LOL!

[@mulikiliki69]

BMI is also recommended by medical institutions and has no accuracy at all.

[@AbdiiHD]

The guy who was 16,9% was clearly leaner than the guy who was 9,8%....😒

[@thekylo123]

yeah i was surprised too, but everyone's body holds fat differently

[@joshsizemore748]

PC principal yeah I thought that too, I was guessing 11 for the leaner guy. Kind of makes me wonder if there are other factors that affect it, like maybe some people breathe out more than others.

[@godevil1313]

yep pretty much, no way some of those were accurate.. o.o

[@inFAMOUSBlastshards]

I mean, this system is as accurate as it gets. Some people are just lucky and actually have to *try* to gain fat. While others aren't and have to be very aware of their diet in order to not gain fat. Everyone has their natural advantages and disadvantages, you just got to play to your strengths.

[@originaltasan]

Yeah, if someone does not empty their lungs 100 %, all the air left would register as fat...

[@AdamIsMyNameO]

Dude these numbers do not seem right for many of them... the girl with 16.8% is higher than that, for SURE

[@pizzapizza2225]

No, those other girls were both fatter and had larger breasts by a big margin. She has no boobs, remember that.

[@prettycode83]

6 - 8 lbs a new muscle in a year?! Maybe for someone that is untrained. No way someone who's been training half a decade is going to add that much muscle a year.

[@BeeryMakesTacos]

This is true. Someone that's been training that long will be lucky to gain 2 pounds of muscle.

[@MusicInMae]

+prettycode83 yeah definitely agree. As you get closer to your peak, its hard as fuck to gain anymore muscle. look at all these natural lifters like matt ogus, chris jones, mattkido etc that have been training for 10+ years and only gained like a pound or two the past few years of consistent dieting and training. i guess its why people hop on roids n shit. impatient lol.

[@bentkaku]

lol matt ogus, chris jones, natty LOLOLOLOL

[@AmericanTestConstitution]

people going through puberty can gain well over 10 lbs of muscle a year, but after 25, 6 to 8 pounds of just muscle (and not counting fat) is about it. But that is a lot. think about how big 6 to 8 lbs of sirloin is.

[@eXXa1987]

Ok, I started to doubt myself until Anthony had almost 7% more BF than Charlie. Even Charlie couldn't believe it. What in the actual fuck? I normal average Joe like that doesn't just have sub 10% BF. Was the tester high or did he just not give a fuck? How do you even have 9.8% without visible abs? Fucking Alan has all is abs out there clear as day with almost 14%.

[@RevoltingRudi]

some guys have 6 pack only @ 8% some @12%

[@newchannelsamename5905]

i took a test at the doctors when i first started working out and i was 9 and you couldn't see anything at all besides my v line but i don;t really believe that test

[@AuspyM8]

It doesn't matter what your body fat is if you don't have muscle.

[@newchannelsamename5905]

***** i could pull decent weight don't worry i had some muscle lol

[@AuspyM8]

Sorry, I was aiming my reply at the original poster. where he wrote "How do you even have 9.8% without visible abs?"

[@xraydelta100]

Just a terrific video, Mr. Thrall. Your videos provide some of the best information out there. Thanks.

[@mr_aliff]

Great quality content as always. What are your plans for the beard and luscious locks? Will you be going full wizard

[@youdontknowme2325]

Sorry, hydrostatic is not the most accurate any more, hasnt been for more than 15 years. You cannot, it is impossible to determine the amount of gas in the intestines, and therefore you have built in variability. I don't know where you get that information about DEXA scans, but they are, indeed the most accurate. The guy is a salesman, what can you say? And the results for the participants speak for themselves. Take a look at the people, you can tell how much fat they are holding.

[@jlcrimm1]

+YouDontKnowMe Seriously, any exercise science undergrad can tell you that DEXA is faaaaaar more accurate than underwater weighing, this guy is lying to selling his product, and his product is not very accurate.

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

+John Crimmins Yes, you are correct. I am Masters in Exercise Science and learned both processes from a physiologist who, shortly after I graduated, became the President of ACSM. Dude would start talking and peeps in class look around at each other like he is reading from a research study... and that was just lecture. Check it out: Carl Foster www.acsm.org/about-acsm/who-we-are/history/past-leaders

[@foimassa]

+YouDontKnowMe Exactly!! he said that pinch test and DEXA CAN be 5-10% off. So they COULD be .5-.6% off but they COULD also be 15% off. It's proven over a number of studies that pinch tests yield the same results within a percent of hydro and other methods. He makes tons of money charging people for this crap, when you can buy a caliper for 2$ and get the same info

[@youdontknowme2325]

Logan Deak He is skewing results to his favor. Any used car salesman will lie to you to upsell. The pinch test results depend on the skill of clinician... e.g. their experience. In the video, many of the subjects results were VISUALLY incorrect. Eyeballing them would have given better results.

[@hfis459]

hey hydrostatic weighing is referred to as “the gold standard” in about every exercise science related text book that i have.

[@metalpaul94]

This was actually really informative, thanks a lot. Also thank you for putting subtitles for the not native speakers :D

[@Bos2709]

that guy at 9% bf did not look it at all. Genetics are crazy. My understanding is you also have to work out your abs and have low bf to see them. I do no think just dieting alone gets the six pact result.

[@bencoley356]

+M Bos And some people wont show abs at all. Like a guy who works here , does Pers trainer , MMA instructor , kettlebell classes etc etc .. Lost pounds and got well toned , but no abs . His training partner pisses himself laughing ( he's not so much into the diet thing ).

[@insainbassist]

+M Bos Hydrostatic weighing isn't 100% accurate. It is more accurate than most other methods but can still be off by 5 percentage points (give or take, obviously this can differ from person to person and depending on the setup they are using and who is doing the weighing). Obviously the guy in the video isn't going to tell you that because he's trying to sell a service. I doubt that guy is actually 9%.

[@LorenzoStroe]

+Ben Coley Bullshit, everyone has abs, if you are at 9% bodyfat no matter how bad your genetics are, if you do abs exercises your abs will show.

[@nevermind824]

I have abs at pretty much any bodyfat %... It really is genetic. I've got a friend in much better shape than me with no abs

[@jayn8392]

I have very defined abs and never do direct ab work. They are always there, to see them you need to get lean. This test seems VERY off.

[@eldsprutandedrake]

Find it hard to believe that a DEXA is so bad, I was thought at my university that it's one of the most accurate techniques only a couple of months ago, but I will try to find these studies to read more about it! Also DEXA is pretty good in the sense that you can not only get fat percentage, you also get bone mineral content (weight of your skeleton), actual muscle mass i.e. separate from other organs. Also you can see where on your skeleton you might have weak points, where you store the most fat in your body, you can get the muscle mass of e.g. your right leg compared to your left and so on. There are a bunch of stuff you can monitor, most of it is useless in most situations, but fun to know :P But whatever, as with all ways of measuring body composition you really need to be aware of recent food intake, hydration, gas in intestines etc, there really is no method that fully accounts for all of that. There are flaws with every method, but as long as you are aware of what impacts the test results you can use most of them to track progress over time, which is the interesting thing I think. Just knowing your body composition at a single point in time is pretty interesting but not really useful ^^

[@arafelify]

+eldsprutandedrake DEXA is definitely more accurate - that guy's talk was 100% sales pitch, if he was offering mobile DEXA scans then DEXA would be the most accurate

[@Alexey-gp7vc]

@arafelify I think all the measurements in this video were wrong - too low %. Maybe 5-10% lower than should be.

[@AndreanoCelentano]

Thank you Alan. Awesome video as always. Very informative and practical.

[@HR4p3rul]

[@VIRT22]

+ThunderGamingTV FFMI cannot detect fake natties unless they're at sub 8% bodyfat contest lean.

[@Osafune2]

This is such good content Alan. I'm a bodybuilder, and it was really interesting to show how hard it is to eyeball bodyfat. I had you pegged at 15 to 16% haha

[@CachoTelch]

Dude, your channel is by far the best gym channel in english language on KZbin. Thanks for this videos!

[@JohanKristo]

8/15 correct, 7/7 on women, 1/8 on men, favoring higher percentages when judging men. Interesting results. I assume these results are due to fitness culture and its effect on me. Enlightening. Sidenot on people commenting on low percentage men with no abs. They barely have any muscle, nothing to show off. Which might explain some.

[@DOKTORPUSZ]

+Morphion same here, got 6/7 for women and 2/8 on men. I agree that most people here who are going on about how wrong this is have also probably been affected by bodybuilding culture, thinking everyone who isn't diced to the socks and covered in striations must be over 20% bodyfat

[@AlexFromTheGym]

AWESOME vid my man. Going to show this to some of my clients. Thank you!

[@Mister_NO.]

Yeah keep spreading the false stats...

[@hawaiidispenser]

It would be extremely helpful to also know what BF% the machine says you are before blowing out all your air. This way you at least have a range to see how much air is truly a factor in this. A range the starts with you at 40% with full lungs and then goes down to 16% after blowing out air gives me much less confidence in the results than a range that started at 19% with full lungs and goes down to 16% after. I'm sure some people are better at blowing out every last bit of air than others.

[@darioinfini]

I'm not 100% sure but it kinda sounded like the machine weighed your body when it lands on the bottom after you blow out all your air. Most people with lungs full of air will float so presumably there's no weight measured at all. So it's more like 100% fat (because it assumes you're floating on the surface because you're a blob) vs what it weighs you at when you sink to the bottom minus your fat content which is buoying you up. Which is why you have to blow out as much air as possible so as not to confuse the results with false buoyancy.

[@rocier]

Gee, does the guy who owns the hydro static BF testing van think its the most accurate? Guess I'll take his word for.

[@bonesjones1658]

+John Crimmins Def looked more like 12 at least

[@petermedenwaldt2680]

I'd of put him now towards 15%

[@unknownyoutubeuser429]

Yeah Alan’s dexa scan had him at 22% Body Fat, that’s definitely more realistic than 13.6% lol

[@jayn8392]

@@unknownyoutubeuser429 for sure. Just from looking at him 13% seems really low. I was dexa scanned at 12% and have much less bf than alan here. He looks like he is around 10-13% now judging by his weight loss video. It actually isn't that hard to get a pretty close bf idea visually if you know what to look for.

[@bigfletch8]

Brilliant. This should go viral. It likely wont, because, to quote Jack Nicholson..."Truth....you cant handle the truth";-). Ive been a fitness coach for over 40 years, so Im talking from experience. Callipers can be as good as the person using them. The important thing for most, is to measure progress, so even if it is 10% inaccurate (18 % to 16.2%), it will still show accurate net gains or losses. Also, calipers can show you the "local" results, which is important for those with very disproportionate accumulation (usually female). Its also worth mentioning that women generally carry 5% more than men for the equivalent standard. If they drop below 12%, it interferes with their hormonal balance. Dont want children, stay below 10% ;-)

[@kellzpalm]

Yea doesn't seem right

[@Tunatwotimes]

+kellzpalm +MrMoochh Mr. Thrall and the rest of the members operate at a high body fat percentage as it is important for them to have regulatory harmony levels as they compete in very high intensity/power activities aka strong man lifts. For their weights, if you research healthy body fat percentages for optimal strength adaptations, you will see that their body fat percentage to body weight ratios are very, VERY optimal for their particular competing events. Also hydrostatic weighing is the most efficient and a accurate measurement for weighing IF the human operator conducts the test in the absolute recommended way of performing it. Human error is always a factor.

hoooold up. wait. everyone's arguing the percentages don't seem accurate, but can we talk about my face when Deborah said "64"?? O_o. I wanna be her when I grow up!

[@alberpol]

I think that bf is not correct. For example, in Andy's case (6 ft 1'', 307 lbs adn a 24,3 bf%) If he had that bf%, he weighs 232 lbs of fat free mass and that is too high for a 6 ft 1'' person. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a little bit higher and he seems to have much more muscle than Andy and his weigh was like 240 (¿?). It's just an opinion. Maybe is more correct the use of a caliper.

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

+Alberpol definitely, the maximum fat free mass a 6'1 natural can hope to build in a lifetime of training and only if he has superior genetics is 176-178 lbs. Unless they all take roids...

[@andrewlynch2167]

I might be 6'2" or 6'3" not sure

[@AbuMaxime]

Excellent remark. These numbers are consistent with a Fat Free Mass Index of about 30. It is believed that it is not possible to go much more than 25 by natural means. The guy is strong. If we assume he is 25 FFMI, then he should be 190 lbs of lean mass... Which is already a feat.

[@Tunatwotimes]

For those saying this test is not accurate, and the male members body fat are inaccurate ill state this for your consideration; Mr. Thrall and the rest of the members operate at a high body fat percentage as it is important for them to have regulatory harmony levels as they compete in very high intensity/power activities aka strong man lifts. For their weights, if you research healthy body fat percentages for optimal strength adaptations, you will see that their body fat percentage to body weight ratios are very, VERY optimal for their particular competing events.

Human error is always a factor.

[@Tunatwotimes]

+Mr. Tuna Please keep in mind that I am stating my opinion based on the average and healthy levels of mens body fat percentage with consideration to their respective sports (strongman, powerlifting, weightlifting, etc.)

[@wtip407]

+Mr. Tuna Agreed that strongmen don't need to be in Olympia shape, and would likely reduce performance, but I have a hard time believing some of those results are accurate. For me it seemed to show results across the board with lower estimates than expected, apart from that one slim guy who was 16 %. Take the 4 big guys toward the end, according to the results some of them have a calculated FFMI of over 31 which is better than a lot of previous Olympian winners (Arnie etc.) and well out of the natural range.

Some team nocalves action going on in this video.

[@goranmitrovic77]

fantastic video! loved it! :)

[@markinnes4264]

A very helpful video, and thanks to all who participated. The results might be a fair bit off, but keep on doing what you're doing. It really can be hard to guess what someone's BF% is by just looking at someone.

[@darkaquatus]

In other words: bodyfat doesn't mean shit!

[@bencoley356]

+darkaquatus not quite , But having a low percentage is no guarantee of abs

[@DaLeadBull]

Damn, this test is extremely generous. If I was there, I think it would have showed me at 6-7%. lol There's no way that guy was below 10% and the other one at 11% was way off too. Also, none of the ladies should have been below 20% imo.

[@lindasappao947]

+DaLeadBull ikr i wuda been at 4% lmao

[@MrThestiffmiceter]

I would have been at negative 7 percent body fat and I can kinda see my abs. lol this test was bullshitahen.

You had me at "fart bubbles"

[@Verdad2024]

Best video of the year nominee

[@louiscyfer6944]

these results are way off, nut not surprising thesw mibile hydrostatic bf testing places are junk, they don't do residual lung volume measurement, so the tests can be 5 to 8 percent off.

[@tui1418]

there is just no way that 183cm guy is 11.4 bodyfat. no way .

[@Pelmite]

you haven't seen his legs so how would you know some people just store fat in different places

[@brianingle799]

Well In all honesty, what the guy even stated was that the methods we are used to are generally 5-10 percent off, so when you start measuring people that are traditionally considered 18 percent bodyfat, and then find out that he is 12 or so, just proves what he is saying. Just because you are used to gaging bf percentage off of looks based off of other tests, doesn't entirely mean that you are right. Consider it.

[@kodeypatterson8973]

Wow, what an awesome video. Really brings in some perspective.

[@thebitun10]

this was fuckign awesome! Thanks mate - great videos. very real

[@candacelin4115]

I think I'd rather pay the extra money to get a DEXA scan and get a result I can trust ☺

[@doseofreality100]

They're not trustworthy though. Watch this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6PPnYiudtdklck

[@unknownyoutubeuser429]

Same, I doubt this guy knows what he’s talking about

[@Jacksonskipslegday]

The 11:57 readings seem way off.

[@gizl1]

+Jack Couldrey deffinetly, more like 14-15% i would say

[@EZYAJ92]

John 17.4 Gio 22.8 Jeana 37.6 Ashly 31.2 Rachel 34.8 Brandy 16.8 Matt 23.5 Sean 26.4 Andrw 27.3 Jason 18.8 Anthony 10.9 Charlie 12.8 Deb 22 Danielle 20.1 Kim 16 All my guess. I was actually better at guessing women than men, the abs thing was really confusing until you talked about it at the end. You could see yours at like 13% but some guys you couldn't see at less than this.

[@coachbrandon9294]

this is an awesome video. definitely considering testing my body fat now.
