Measure up

[drewan]

I've been working with a trainer now for two months. We did a second body composition measurement today. Here's the comparison with the measurements from January 2nd.

	1/2/08	3/3/08
BODY SITE A mm Measurement
Tricep	16	12
Bicep	11	9
Suprailiac	16	13
Subscapular	24	16
TOTAL mm	67	50
Percent fat A (Use chart 1)	25.68%	21%
BODY SITE B mm Measurement
Abdominal	36	25
Thigh	16	16.5
Chest	18	17
TOTAL mm	68	58.5
Weight	175	169.5
Ave fat % (% fat A + % fat b / 2)	22.29%	18.75%
Fat Pounds (Body wt. x % fat)	39 lbs	31.8 lbs
Lean Mass (Body wt. - fat pounds)	136 lbs	137.8 lbs

Not to bad. The trainer seemed to be very happy with these numbers. He was most surprised by the subscapular measurement, which decreased by 8 mm.

I haven't gained a lot of muscle mass, but we've been focusing more on getting my endurance up. I'm hoping to gain a bit more muscle mass in the next couple of months.

No, these are excellent numbers. Calipers supposedly are generally only good to measure delta, and these deltas look great.

Great! You're doing much better than I am.
