BF% for taller guys?
ad
Ok guys so i wanna ask you.. Is it ok for taller guys to have a lil more bodyfat% than shorter guys? Cuz i just FINALLY checked my bodyfat% and its about 20-22% bodyfat..i am 6'4 21 years old weigh about 260ish i think idk i havnt weighed myself in awhile but thats my bodyfat (which i care most about more than the scale). BUT i can honestly say i do not look like if i have 20+% bodyfat, ppl tell me all the time i look prolly around 14-16% so idk its kinda weird? Lol... I just want to know whats the normal range or if there is a different range for a 6'4 guy like me rather then like a 5'10 guy... Lets see what u guys think? Either way my BF% IS GOING DOWN even more this year so i aint trying to act like a lil bitch about it. ;)

Its not easy getting accurate measurements with calipers. What kind did you get? I had the ones where you line up the arrow as you squeeze and now i have the ones with a click stop and slider. They work much better. Take 3 measurements at each location and average them out. don't hold the caliper in place too long cause that will compress the skin and fat more. Even with the better ones you may carry your fat different than the average guy. just use the measurements to make sure their going lower and don't worry so much about the %. Use the mirror to show you, more veins more muscle detail means less fat. Who cares about the #. make your body look the way you want it too. Good Luck Bro!
No way ur 20 id say 14 topsfrom the pic u posted last
Thats what im sayin? Lol... I mean what im thinking is since im really tall i'll hold extra BF more than others but maybe you can notice it as much as say a 5'8 5'9 guy you know?
But then again in another site i checked my measurments and it said i was around 14-16% so u see im not too sure! Lol
I'll find out for sure soon and i'll post another pic.
1jakd_hipyWhat did you use to check it?
Well i used the calipers... And i checked my measurments with this link Dossier showed me http://www.acefitness.org/calculators/bodyfat-calculator.aspx
From a medical point of view if its mainly carried at chest cavity there's more risk for coronary disorders than if you just have fat ass.
Well i have fat all around but i guess i have alot of muscle so you cant notice it much just by lookin at me u know... But who knows..im just improving err day!
Keep kickin ass! You'll hit any goal ya want.
I know bro i got this trust me, im so pumped about this year.:D
