Very useful intel❤
Those pics are horrible for women. Use calipers or a body fat scale
Can snykne please help me as my maths is not the best . Im 168lbs about 30 % body fat . Iv divided 30% by 100 it gives me 0.003 . Ive times 0.003 by 168 and it gives me 0.504. How many lbs of fat do i have to lose?
Make steroid ☝️🤔
2:07 why is 20% divided by 100 equal to 0.2?
The last "focusing on the steps" advice was alone worth more than thousands of likes here
This is the best video ive seen about this topic. Beautifully explained and straight foward.
This video was extremely helpful – no fluff or waffling – just gold information that’s easy to follow
hat is somone is 4 foot 10 and 170. And someone is 6 foot 5 and 170 🤣
🔥🔥🔥
I’m skipping one meal a day , no alcohol, going to the gym doing cardio and weight training. Still no fing results
for anyone confused on how he got 0.88 at 2:40, he subtracted 1 with his desired body fat. like this: 1 – 0.12=0.88 and then after he divided his lean body weight by the number he got which was 0.88 (136/0.88=154.5) but he rounded it up which is why it’s 155. idk it might seem a bit confusing for some people but hopefully i cleared that up for anyone.
i only have to lose 11 pounds for it
Nice and easy to calculate. Thanks so if im 160 lbs i will have to.loose 20lbs. Making me weight 140
Why would you not recommend a clearly visible sixpack for women?
That’s my name
Bro i have already 13-14% body fat percentage how to get abs just tell me this I have no visible abs which exercise I have to do and i week every I have to do abs workout tell everything how many days break I will give to my abs (((sorry english was not much better)))
Also I’m 212 lbs at 9%
So I have to assume the inbody scanner at the store I went to yesterday was broken. I’m at 9% body fat single digit still I don’t see my abs idk 🤷🏼♂️
"a real liff example"
Dude's an AI.
One thing I found out doing this is how highly inaccurate smart scales are at determining body fat percentage. I have a nice fully body scan scale that, at the start of this, said I was at 25% bf and would have agreed based on the photos here. I then got a dexa scan and RMR which showed I was actually at 38% body fat. I would have never thought it was that high looking at the photos in this.
The formula is overly optimistic. When you lose 1 unit of bodyweight, only 70% to 80% of that is fat. The rest is lean body mass that was inevitably broken down, and so we need a more complex calculation.
I have diet breaks every Sat/Sun … still has worked pretty well for the past 6 months.
Excellent video as always. Funny my numbers are very similar to your "example guy". However, I do have one suggestion to improve the videos. I use kg and so does half the world, so please consider using both lbs and kgs when talking about anything to do with weight. Thanks ! 😊
