you can get very accurate measurements if you use body fat calipers correctly

A caliper will show people who are 9% bodyfat to be 1% bodyfat though. It's all wonky and relative. What people think a certain % is, is far from what it actually is. People also have different levels of visceral bodyfat, so someone can look much leaner than the next person but have more actual fat in their body etc etc.. And don't get me started on women who can be shredded to the bone but 15% bodyfat. It's all a mess, and dexascan is as good as it gets to find the actual levels of fat I guess

when they invented body fat calipers, how did they calibrate them? how do we know what a guy's true body fat is?

Quote:
To calibrate body fat calipers, manufacturers typically use reference methods that have been validated for accuracy and precision. The most commonly used reference methods are dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), hydrostatic weighing, and air displacement plethysmography (ADP). These methods are considered the gold standard for measuring body fat percentage.

Manufacturers use these reference methods to measure the body fat percentage of a sample population and compare the results with the measurements obtained using their calipers. By comparing the results, they can determine the accuracy and precision of their calipers and make any necessary adjustments.

It's important to note that even reference methods have limitations and sources of error, so the accuracy of any body fat measurement method, including calipers, may not be 100% perfect. Nonetheless, calibration against reference methods helps to ensure that the calipers provide consistent and accurate results to the best of their abilities.

You have a valid point, there is no *real* bodyfat %. Since we are living organisms it's always changing by a miniscule amount. And different levels of visceral fat will make *total bodyfat* read differently even when two people look exactly alike physically because one may hold multiple lbs of fat internally around the organs which isn't visible upon outside inspection.

If you measure with a dexascan it will show the exact amount of bodyfat you have in you, but the bodyfat percentage will change as your lean mass changes, so if you're bloated and holding water it will read a lower bodyfat% than if you are dehydrated and so on - while looks wise it will actually be the reverse (you LOOK leaner when dehydrated but the bf% reading from a dexa will show HIGHER bodyfat%).

So yea it's all a mess. Sorry for derail.

Good on Doug for drawing attention to the bet despite "losing" imo. Not hard to keep fit in your early 20's when test is high but making a big change in your 30's is a legitimate effort.

if you arent someone whos been fit your whole life, and specifically been out of shape for a lot of it it's insanely hard to get in really good shape without using TRT/Peptides/Steroids/PEDs.
