Body fat

---

In reply to:To make weight.OK, I see. But it would be a lot better to drop the fat instead, so you have room for the water. If your fat content is already low, then you need to move up to the next weight class.

Or do the water trick.

Or just harvest some unneeded organs. That'll drop some weight.

Harvest organs that's a good one lol. I'm curious what method of %body fat computation you used. There are only a couple that work. To the guy who wants to get his %body fat measured, go to a sports clinic type place. Most colleges have one. Since you are athletes, don't use Body Mass Index to measure body fat because it doesn't take into account for body composition (like muscle). My coach had a guy come in every year and do skin fold tests, it's cheap and pretty accurate as long as you get someone who knows how to do it. Ask your coach about it, maybe he can help you. As sick as it sounds, I've also heard that if you jack off before a weigh in you can lose like .2 pounds or something. If you have to dehydrate yourself for more than a day or so then you need to move up a class. You'll feel a lot better and have more energy. I was fortunate that I didn't join until I had pretty much grown so I was in one weight class for my junior and senior year.

I agree that accurately measuring fat percentage is difficult...I don't know what the best method is.In reply to:you can lose like .2 poundsNow that is really cutting it close. It'd have to be a pretty big load to weigh that much. You might also want to spit before stepping on the scale, at that rate.

5% body fat took me years to get there currenly 230 pounds lifted for 4 years and benching 450 no spot

Good work. If I had the discipline to do that, I'd be the president or something.

I used to be very lean naturally, but things are filling out a bit these days...

I joined the wrestling team my junior year of high school. I had 25% bodyfat and that season I lost 35 nearly 40lbs and now I'm college about 185lbs with a %bodyfat between 8 to 15 %. I'm going to either get that checked with bodpod or hydrostatic weighing in the next couple weeks.

You guys are dedicated like professional athletes.

i think 5% is safe thats what i'm at and i don't nothing wrong with sometimes i will go under 5% i have my bodyfat test by a pro every 4 weeks i was in jail for 4 mos and i was like 4% i think thenbut no one fuck with me in jail i'm built like a house it takes a long time and a lot of disaplin by the way whats your body fat percentage helmsman and whats the lowest you got it too
