I also found this video, by the very splendid Alan Thrall quite eye-opening. In it he, and then various members of his gym, undergo hydrostatic bodyfat testing. You get to guess the bodyfat percentages of the various people from a range of options. The results are quite surprising. I study this sort of stuff quite a lot but still managed to get most of them wrong, and the ones I was most confident on having rigth were generally the ones I was wrong on.
Body Fat pt 2: I also found this video, by the... - Couch to 5K
Body Fat pt 2
Very interesting clip. I got most of them wrong and a few right. I looked mainly at muscles meaning more muscles less fat but I think I should have looked at height and weight instead. I also got it wrong mainly with the females.
Very interesting stuff and that Thrall chappie is, well, enthralling isn't he?
Good to see lots of different bodies, and presented well.
He is an interesting chap. Prior to his career as beardy muscle dude he was a U.S. marine, bodyguard to the President and pall bearer at Arlington.
His instruction videos are some of the best I have seen.
A really interesting series of posts. Thanks for posting. Also I found them quite positive--particularly the images with advice for getting in shape---it seems more doable to look at it in that way.
