Yavor “ p.s. the girl was really petite, around 155cm, 52kgs (she was not skinny, but strong and athletic, but nevertheless that BF% was too low for her). ”

Yavor “ Great tip! I measured my BF% recently using a 4 site skinfold method. It turned out to be 12.9% lol. Last time I had it measured 2 years ago it was 10.1%. It really got back me on track.

It is good you mentioned essential BF percentages there. One of the girls I was training last year got too intense in eating really clean. She got herself a great body with chiseled shoulders and a sixpack, but at a BF% as low as 13% she had problems with her female hormonal status - her period disappeared. It is a common problem with many female athletes ”

MleighS84 “ Thanks - I try and explain this all the time but most people dont get it - i get hassled all the time at work b/c i try to keep a clean diet and people think I am trying to lose weight (they get on my case b/c i am too skinny already) but in reality i am just trying to get rid of fat/, i am perfectly happy with my weight, i actually dont even weigh myself regularly - i just want a low bf%; my goal is to keep it around 17.5% ”

kettlebell27 “ Nice post here...I had a client once where I was showing her the math on every calcuation with my calculator, showing her that her idea of losing 70 pounds was unrealistic for her to attain on a 180 pound body. She mentioned how she used to weigh 110 in high school, but that was before 'maturity' hit her, and with her BF% measurements, 110 pounds was very unrealistic to hit. ”

Hulbs “ Nice post Miranda!
Some of the people i work with could get a lot of this kind of knowledge, but I dare say most of them don't know what a body fat % means let alone what there's is. ”
