[@Ketobodybuilderajb]

Had Dexa scan 3 days before I stepped onto stage with ridiculously shredded glutes. I feel I was around 6 percent. Dexa put me at 9.1 percent.

[@fastlifebmx9292]

Dexa has a hard time with water/glycogen I believe. So it may be more accurate for someone like Tristyn Lee. The MRI is the golden standard

[@KrzysztofC-1]

Body composition scales are extremely useful for tracking progress at home over months and years, that is if you keep using that one scale the whole time. I don't care if the number is accurate when I see a trend over 3 years steadily going down.

[@donwhitman6714]

I disagree because it doesn’t accurately account for muscle mass , it usually follows a formula relative to ur height and body weight

[@liv1212]

[@rushyg1006]

[@loth-alda]

It really depends how developed your muscles are too, if your muscles are not too developed don't compare yourself with a person with the same fat percentage who has more muscular development, if you look less shredded than them that just means that you have to train your muscles more, not even counting genetics.

[@jamessher6956]

Only reason I would do a Dexa scan is to meet the red head assistant.

[@scalpax4414]

Greg, you should do a vid depleted, diuretics etc , get the test then load, high sodium etc carb up and show us the difference, would be an interesting watch

[@ronaldcosta6697]

Im 5'7", 400lbs and Dexa scan says I'm 7% bodyfat! Pretty darn accurate if you ask me

[@ChristopherWhite-yg4hh]

I think your right 😂😂

[@chrisburton3571]

I suspect this is BS. First, why would someone who is 5’7” & 400lbs get a DEXA? Also, I doubt the person who administered the test would tell you the results without retesting or telling you something is off.

[@Kastellium]

7:27 no way hes 13% here. That legit looks more like 20%

[@JasonS-eo7sh]

Dexa is a joke. I only did one BB show in my life. I was 27. The show was in Long Beach, CA, my home town. I had a Dexa at UCLA 5 days before the show . It had me at 8.8%. I was depressed as hell. Thought about not doing the show. I ended up 2nd place in my division. I was at the show's after party later and was telling people that I was basically 9% BF. They told me I was insane, that I was at most 5% and maybe lower...these were experienced bodybuilders telling me this. I never used a Dexa again.

[@kenthawley5990]

Like weighing one's self, measuring body fat % should be done using the same process every time. Does that mean it's accurate? No. It simply shows you progress or regress.

[@Hvmoudi]

Well looking in the mirror does that too

[@TheBrianRaglandChannel]

Great video. Love your stuff man, your enthusiasm is infectious.👏💪

[@beezle1976]

I think I generally have a pretty good idea of a person's body fat levels. Mostly from watching Coach Greg. I was enjoying guessing subscribers body fat percentages during those videos and very often would guess the same as Coach Greg. Having said that I have problems judging my own. Im super lean everywhere but have slight love handles and a little excess fat around my bottom 2 abs. Juding by that area Id say about %17, but everywhere else it'd be under %10. Makes it difficult to get shredded all over without getting to what looks unhealthy. If I had to guess my overall body fat levels Id say about 12 or 13 percent. Edit: Just saw the part of the video with Omar. I now suspect Im not too far off with the %12 guess. My lower abs/waist is a few percent leaner than his and somewhat leaner everywhere else. I do have a little more muscle than he appears to as well though, which makes it a little tricky to draw a conclusion. Very likely I have a touch of body dysmorphia though too which doesnt help.

[@ygalel]

Your body adds muscle most when you are healthiest - not too fat not too lean - (15 to 20%)

[@Static-ash]

It SHOULD be easy to compare ourselves to someone similar after all the informative videos Coach has made on the subject. But you know, body dysmorphia. I'm a 5'11" female, 155lbs, i train weights and distance running. I can see definition in my abs and my back. On a confident day i feel like I'm 18%. But then i second guess myself and think I'm more like 25-28% because like models at my height are 20lbs less. Idk!

[@Denidrakes69]

I hear ya. I'm 5ft5 but the same BMI. Our bodies are kind of stupid as far as worrying about this kind of thing is concerned. Timing of the month makes a ridiculous difference - both physically and mentally. That's the reason why I'm either wearing a tightly fitted top, or a big baggy thing, six sizes too big - never anything in-between 😉

[@dutchrjen]

One math error (I went to school for physics, so I pick up on this). The formula for body weight is (lean body mass)/(1- bf%) Take a 100-pound lean body mass individual at 15% bf and 7.5% bf. The first is 117.6 pounds and the second is 108 pounds. This would be 17.6 pounds of fat and 8 pounds of fat. Cutting bf% in half does not cut the amount of fat a person has in half. At high bf % this variance is way larger. 100% body fat would be infinite fat. The video this video was commentating on also messed up the math.

[@mandyperez5080]

Thank you Greg love watching all ur videos ❤

[@geudrychamorro722]

Been training people for 4 years at a gym, we got an electric impedence fat machine, when I use it, It usually shoots me far below where I am, on the calipers I've been 14-16%, my eyes tell me 12-13%, machine says 8.4%. As for people it seems to put men lower and women higher by a 2-3 points diviation. Would like to try dexa and water and MRI to have a bigger understanding of this.

[@ashtonbarnes2833]

Good video coach

[@Snerdles]

My body fat percentage was incredibly high a couple of years ago, but my problem wasn't really way too much fat, I looked pretty normal, or even small... My problem was that I was so under muscled that the percent values were very skewed. I've been putting on muscle for a couple of years and only lost about 12lbs of actual weight but that's after gaining at least that much in muscle which means I've lost twice that amount of body fat while increasing muscle. Now I estimate I've recently passed 25% body fat and I'm still on the road to get at or below 20% where my target is. Hopefully that's just about this time next year.

[@saiko8892]

This is me honestly, like I'm 6'7" and feel like im 10% body fat at 195lbs but then I see my legs and I have hardly as much definition as my upper body

[@antoniohagopian213]

You're higher, simply have fat in the legs instead of belly

[@fotis3v480]

My legs look defined even at 18% ish meanwhile my upper body looks like sht imo even down at 13 that i dropped last year after a big ol diet. It's about muscle mass and fat distribution, maybe grow your legs a bit more and they'll pop through. Similarly to abs you can get low bf and still not have abs if they are undeveloped.

[@RichWards-Wins]

Greg is like a combination of franco columbu and gilbert gottfried.

[@graemecavanagh7357]

He said in the video he predicted himself to be around 16-18% so he expected himself to be higher.

[@amhawk8742]

I got 11.2% on a bioimpedence scale (upper & lower) one month. And a month later I'd put on 0.3kg (plus another 0.6kg to take into account not having breakfast or drinking water that morning) and it showed my body fat percentage to be 13%. I did put on 0.9kg in a month (first time in half a year going on a bulk), but not all of it would've been fat (I'd guess more like half and half). And the test showed I'd actually lost 0.7kg of muscle 😂

[@Osiris_fc]

every measuring tool in the world has a degree of measuring error. one is just more accurate than the other.

[@goo5976]

I’m sure I’m about 33% body fat minimum. I always bust my ass at the gym but tbh anything below 25% body fat for me is pure misery. I’m slowly trying to climb down to a lower percentage for a long period of time and maingain to lower my set point. Greg drops another gem!

[@brucejensen3081]

It's probably a certain weight that you hit that makes you feel miserable. If you can hit that weight you are at 25%, but have an extra few pounds of muscle, you bodyfat level will be lower, and should still feel OK, like your maintenance calories will be higher. The more you have to shred to hit that weight, the worse you will feel. Take your time shredding too. Gradual small progress will get you there in time

[@christiandenton2174]

lol 33% 😂

[@brucejensen3081]

Golden aged bodybuilders were like 10% bodyfat, occasionally one would drop close to 8%. No need to get leaner than that, unless you want to look like skeletor

[@eliasklein9311]

Once I did a Dexa scan and it put me at a whopping 34 % body fat, I looked 25 % max. Scale told me 18 %, skin fold was around 24 or so, can't remember. That was a while ago, now I weigh a lot more and have a fourpack (again), so it's at least going in the right direction. I guess about 20-25 % now, gained some weight after surgery, getting back to the gym. Tracking my weight and my lifts to keep track. Measuring tapes didn't work so well for me because I was inconsistent with where exactly and how tight I was measuring. If pants fit is still a good indicator.

[@capcomfan82]

A proper bulk takes years to put on real muscle. You dont gain muscle with a 3 month bulk. It takes years and years to build muscle.

[@jonasmarken5021]

I also recon that 10% body fat doesnt look the same for everyone, because of the build and body fat distribution on people can be very different as a result of genetics and physical activity, for example, with my laser eye vision I predicted that omar also was 15%, they way I predicted it is how defined the abs are.

[@melinawright5350]

I have body dysmorphia and I thought I was pretty lean while training for a Spartan. It told me 27.9% I'm NOT ...SO I starved myself lost 9 lbs I didn't have to lose. It told me 26.9. I lost my boobs. I had to special order bras to fit. I haven't come back. I'm around 20% on a bad day with my eyes that tell me I'm fat.
