last night my firends came over to the house and all wanted me to test their body fat levels... i thought they were all relatively lean guys...mayb aroun 13-14 % bf...they all have average builds(dont workout), but have god natural metabolism so they have flat stomachs and no love handles at all... well, they averaged about 20% bf. ...muscle plays a HUGE part in bf%, is what i came to find out. because when it comes to how lean my MIDESTION looks in comparison to my friends...well my mid section would inicate that we all have about the same bf%. (fuzzy abs, no love handles, flat stomach...but FAR from ripped)...but yet i am at 10.5 bf% and they are at 20%..
why am i babbling about my friends bf%.. ? because it made me realize that while 240's midsection on myself might indicate 10-11%bf...on 240's frame, its probably much closer to 17-18% bf.
