Hey Greg, if someone has lost a lot of weight and has excess skin.. how does this affect the calipers? Is there a way to differentiate between skin and fat?

[@rustysausage69]

Not enough to be significant. Loose skin is just that; loose skin. Loose skin isn't thicker than "tight" skin, theres just more of it. Bodyfat is what makes skin thicker, thus will affect caliper readings.

[@ChanceBloodstoner]

[@drunkmers4994]

My eye test said 17-18% on the guy with not that much muscle. I was surpised with 16.7% he got which means I might actually be at around the same body fat with some more muscle. It's a bit of an awkward amount of fat because you are not yet in that ideal range 10-12% but you are "lean" or "healthy" enough that people will tell you to stop your hard work and fasting since you already "made it".

I've always wondered - why are these measurements taken only from the top part of the body? I am personally very lean on my upper body and store way more fat in my lower body (as it tends to be typical for many women) so I've always wondered wouldn't that skew the result by a lot?

The best is to use the device i think. I recently got measured by a 4 point scale that checks ur bodyfat and it's interesting !

When using calipers youre actually supposed to cycle through skinfold sites instead of taking 3 measures in a row since the caliper will have compressed the tissue.

Coach Greg, I have question. I noticed that you only measured body fat in the upper body. Wouldn’t you also measure body fat in the legs to get a better reading of the overall body fat of the individual?

[@spacepirate9882]

When it's known that women store more bodyfat in their butt, you know it's bullshit.

[@gregdoucette]

People who have a lot of fat in their legs typically have a lot of fat at the tricep and so it bounces out and it’s very difficult to measure body fat on females if you’ve ever grab their legs you would understand what I mean

[@spacepirate9882]

@@gregdoucette It's difficult doesn't mean it's accurate and "typically" is even less accurate. I have almost no fat on triceps and way more on legs and it makes sense: Triceps is not a zone with a lot of adipocytes so you really start storing fat here long time after storing fat elsewhere. "People who have a lot of fat in their legs typically have a lot of fat at the tricep" is wrong while "People who have a lot of fat in their triceps typically have a lot of fat in their legs" is true.

How did he get 16% from those measurements? What’s the way to calculate it once I have the measurements?

[@jkenemy1]

Coach, Greg. I know that there are different methodologies to calculate body fat percentage using calipers. I studied under Charles Poliquin and we were taking 14 different sites. I find it odd that there are no sites on the bottom of the body although I recognize that this methodology gives you a general idea and I suppose you can track people’s progress over time using just those sites, how accurate is this compared to let’s say a DEXA scan? I find it strange that you aren’t measuring fat in the hamstrings and quads, and calves, as well as in the upper body on the chest, mid axial. Do you just use this methodology because it’s quick and gives a very general idea?

[@gregdoucette]

Having used multiple methods to determine bodyfat with the callipers I find this one to be the most accurate as often times when measuring the lower body the skin is so toxic to the body you can’t get an accurate reading which skews the results. The DEXA scan is simply put not accurate

[@gregdoucette]

I would trust the hydrostatic weighing over the DEXA

What about the legs and butt? I often see women who have what seems like a normal upper body fat so much so that if you looked at them from the waste up you'd say perfectly normal weight but from the hip down very fat and obese

[@gregdoucette]

Don’t need it because fat in the lower half is associated with fat behind the triceps which accurately predict

[@mferrariish]

How do you account for lower body though? I feel like my body fat result would be really low by this method but I carry most of my fat in thighs and butt area. Can we also measure the lower body in any way, or would that throw off the formula?

[@jonsmith9728]

Gregs doing a standard caliper test in this vid, a whole body would require alot more hence dexa-scan would be your best bet

[@gregdoucette]

Pinch your tricep fat and see what number it is if you have a lot of fat in your legs that will likely also show a high reading on the back of ur arms.

I generally mass-prepare chicken thoighs, tuna salad, lean burgers, and eat a lot of really pricy fish. Also eat high protein yogurt, cottage cheese and eggs,,,, Still I miss my protein goals 2-3 days a week and over shoot calories (2500/day). Answer is 4 RTD’S per day, but… seriously?

[@jayraitt9023]

Hey I coach a lot of middle age men as well, I HIGHLY recommend a 2 day rule, if you're still sore after two days you went too hard. ALSO: please remember "soreness" is primarily from lactic acid, which is developed by using muscles WITHOUT oxygen present during ATP production, in layman's terms: doing more cardio will help with soreness, becoming sore is not necessarily an indication of a good workout, and as you get better at specific workouts (even going up in weight) you'll slowly get less sore each time, even during muscle gain. Right now as an average guy: sore after 2 days is okay. After 3 days is too much. Not sore after one day you MAY be able to go harder next time. Hope this helps!!
