Wanna Lose Weight?

Does muscle weigh more than fat?

Yes.

Ok this 15 or more character limit is really pissing me off!

So if a guy who is 5-10, weights 230 and benches 365lb's is still severely overweight?

[Emil]

Yes.

Ok this 15 or more character limit is really pissing me off!

Just for you I'll request it to be changed.

I believe that depends on his % body fat.

Where was that kiss located?

[sSsflamesSs]

Where was that kiss located?

Hahaha, I KNEW I should have specified a location.

[Emil]

Hahaha, I KNEW I should have specified a location.

Are you thinking dirty thoughts? I meant which cheek, left or right.

Yes, I have a dirty mind.

Here's a method to take a rough estimate of your % body fat, for those that are interested.

For women, take a measurement of the following using a tape measure:
(X1) circumference of upper arm extended
(X2) the average of the circumference at belly button and the abdomen at its smallest circumference,
(X3) circumference of right forearm at its widest part as it hangs relaxed with palm forward,
(X4) circumference of the top of the right thigh 1/2 inch below the buttocks.

For men, take the same measurements except skip (X4).

If your tape measure wasn't in centimeters, convert inches to centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

Body density for women:
Bd = 1.14465 - 0.0015(X1) - 0.00105(X2) + 0.00448(X3) - 0.00168(X4)

Body density for men:
Bd = 1.12691 - 0.00357(X1) - 0.00127(X2) + 0.00524(X3)

Now finally, to find % body fat:
%fat = (457/Bd) - 414.2

For men, 5-7% can be considered the minimum; for women, 10-14% can be considered the minimum.

An average woman under 30 years of age in good physical condition has about 24%, while the average man under 30 years of age in good physical condition has about 20%.
