For only 5 minutes of your time, you ensure that the summer body stays all year round and that you are achieving the ultimate body composition fit for you. A king.
Especially useful for those of us with body dysmorphia that are incapable of objectively judging our physiques. The numbers will provide us with confidence in the process. The change in percentage will indicate that you are in a caloric surplus if it increases and a deficit if it decreases. To calculate your beginning surplus or deficit click here.
There are several ways to measure body fat at home, but one of the most accurate and convenient methods is using a body fat calliper.
Step-by-step guide TO MEASURING YOUR body fat:
1. Purchase a body fat calliper: You can buy a body fat calliper that I recommend here. Keep it cheap.
2. Find a suitable location: The most optimal areas to measure when doing it yourself are the chest, abdomen and thigh. As shown below.
3. Pinch the skin: With your non-dominant hand, hold the skin fold firmly between your thumb and fingers. Make sure to include both the skin and the underlying fat.
4. Use the calliper: With your dominant hand, use the calliper to measure the thickness of the skin fold. Place the jaws of the calliper perpendicular to the fold of the skin and press it until you feel a slight pinch.
5. Read the measurement: Release the calliper and note the measurement on the scale. Repeat the process 2-3 times for accuracy and take the average.
6. Calculate your body fat percentage: Once you have your measurements, you can use an online calculator by clicking HERE and inputting the numbers to the Jackson/Pollock 3 calliper method.
7. Repeat: Repeat this process every two weeks to track your progress and make necessary adjustments to meet your fitness goals. Gained too much body fat? lower the calories. Not gaining enough? up the calories.
WHY DO IT?
The reason I promote this tool is because of the massive success it has provided me. As someone who has always struggled to judge my body fat as a result of being blinded by the results in the gym, it completely transformed my bulking physique while increasing my gains.
The difference is night and day. The second physique is much fuller and more defined despite both images being around 5 months into a bulk. Doing so has made me, healthier, happier and more confident.
What’s the point of working out for 6 days a week to still look like a sponge? Monitoring my body fat has allowed for lean gains and a 10x better physique.
