Default Zach Update

   Okay kiddies, here is the poop:

   Zach Evetts
   March 1, 2010
   Bodyweight: 242
   Bodyfat % measured at 7 skinfold sites (equation detailed below): 20.95%
   LBM: 191.29 lbs.
   Bodyweight increase in 15.4 weeks: 25 lbs
   191.29 - 177.07 = 14.22 lbs. LBM increase
   14.22/25 = 56.8% of gain as LBM, .92 lb./week

   Equation: 1.112 - .00043499(x) + .00000056(x^2) - .0028826(age) = body density

   (4.57/body density - 4.142)100 = Bodyfat %
   Skinfold total: 162mm, 7 sites measured and marked

   Equipment used: Lange Skinfold Caliper (Cambridge Scientific)

   Current pictures below, without a shirt for those of you "into" this sort of thing.

   Now, it may be that I don't know how to use skinfold calipers, but you assume that at your PERIL. These pictures clearly show a male at about 20-22% bodyfat. It may even be that I shopped the pictures, but I know even less about that than I do lighting. The fact is that Zach has gained 78 lbs. in 6 months, 46 lbs. of which is LBM. His squat has gone from 145 x 5 to 345 x 5. Anyone who says otherwise is either calling me a liar or is saying that I don’t know how to weigh and measure bodyfat. That’s fine, and we can settle it whenever you want to. Anyone who says that skinfold caliper testing in the hands of an experienced operator is inaccurate compared to hydrostatic weighing is unfamiliar with the procedures. Furthermore, Zach is not taking steroids, and anybody who claims this is full of shit, as is anyone who says that X lbs. of LBM/year are the absolute maximum that can be gained. We do it here all the time, and you can too if you do the program correctly.

I've summed up the Starting Strength boards in that, now you've got no reason to go there. Seriously, don't go there, it'll rot your brain.
