What's your bodyfat percentage?

[Gandalf]

Well according to the calculators I can find online you're definitely not overweight.

6 ft 2 and 169 lbs gives you a BMI of 21.6 which is ideal.

That would give you a rough estimate bodyfat percentage of around 6%.

I imagine if you can't see a six pack then like me you must be a low muscle guy and therefore would bump it up to over 10%

Like Ice said less than ten percent and if you had any muscle you'd have a six pack for sure.

I think you need to do some weight training like me, as it sounds like you're pretty much fat, skin and bone like myself

No, definitely not overweight. If anything a little bit too skinny. Certainly not very muscular.

Yeah, could defo use some weight training. My arms are very skinny. Might be a good idea to start doing a few situps every day too. I alway start exercise with good intentions but then I get lazy again. It's hard to stay focussed when it comes to health and I see why Ricky Hatton has all but given up on it in his quest for pleasure. I doubt I will ever end up like him though.

I'm getting really into my fitness again now. When I took it up seriously a few years ago I invested heavily in all top end fitness equipment, spent almost £4000 in all.

So now I'm actually using it all again it feels like all new toys. My bike is awesome, it's got video footage as you cycle and every time I use it I cycle through this lush forest track. It simulates going up and down hill, it's really very clever and means I can feel like I've been out of the house for a ride even though I'm actually just swapping one computer screen for another.

This is my bike here on youtube, it's very addictive.

That looks pretty cool. It would be good if you could rotate the camera and look around at the scenery while you cycle.

They should invent some kind of game so that you can exercise and play at the same time. You could cycle around picturesque English cities shooting people or something. It would get the kids off their rear ends.

They are already well ahead of you there Miles. There's this Taxc virtual reality trainer which I REALLY wanted to buy.

The trouble is it's a device you sit a real bike on and then connect it your pc and I didn't have a way of setting it all up. Obviously I can't put a bike in front of my pc it would be right in the way.

Plus I can't imagine sitting on a real bike is very comfortable for long periods. But it does it look really fucking cool. And on the computer animated courses you can indeed cycle wherever you want, and even go offroad.

I spent weeks agonising about whether to buy it or not, but had to decide not to as it would mean buying a second pc with a big monitor and I didn't have the space or want to spend that much money.


But a lot of exercise equipment is like that now.

I've also got a Concept 2 rower and that I plug that into my laptop now and again so I can use the Rowpro software which is pretty cool. The graphics are dated by today's standards but it's fun to actually row on a virtual lake against other rowers, either pace boats you create or real people live online.

This is Rowpro,
YouTube - 2k Concept2 Time Trial

It's pretty neat although I mostly row without it as I can never be bothered to set up my laptop and plug it into the rower.

I use it periodically when I download someone's time and then work to beat it.

A couple years ago there was this guy called Seth Trotz who was about 62 and clocked a time in the 5000 metres of 24:44 and I trained for a month to try and beat him.

It was an epic moment, I had him and two others in the race and with me almost blacking out I managed to accelerate away at the end and smashed his time by two whole seconds. I then fell on the floor and was unable to get up for about 10 minutes but it was an acomplishment I'll not forget.

I'm going to get back into training again to beat him again before the summer

I haven't had it taken in a bit but I imagine I'm somewhere around 12-13 percent just going off past times I've used the calipers comparing them to the shape I'm in now. Who knows though I could have just an inflated opinion of myself The old gym I used to go to SPD was a top notch facility who they had a pool where you could go underwater step on a skill, do some exercises and they could calculate your exact body fat. That was like 30 bucks but it was a complete analysis, so I never did it but I would like to one day as it seems to be the most accurate.

I have a partial six pack, I'm not washboard status by any means but it wouldn't take much I've just been eating out a lot after golfing and I notice my face has gotten a lot fatter lately, looking at that golf picture I posted it's kind of disturbing how fat my face has become but I've really done 0 toning exercises lately just been working on building my raw strength.

Rowing machines are LEGIT, I couldn't believe how much they kicked my ass the first time I used them in high school. I wish my gym had one.

Yeah I love mine. I have to row at a very slow pace though. My 5000 metre pieces are typically just under 2:30/500 pace whereas you see guys on youtube rowing at under 2:00/500 but it still gives the same workout benefits, I mean my heart gets up to 185 bpm peak which at 35 is probably my maximum possible heartrate.

Of course with my lungs the way they are my heart is at 120 bpm just by sitting on the machine but I can still feel the benefits.

I really want to knock about 10 bpm off my resting heart rate. I think my current resting rate is close to 90 bpm and if I could get it down to below 80 I'd feel so much less concerned about my future health problems.

didnt a prime lennox lewis once take the BMI test and it classed him as medically obese

Imagine Tua or Tyson the machine would probably blow up.

Yeah. But apparently I'm also overweight
Those height/ measurement graphs always have me as overweight.

I don't see how when I'm more on the lanky side of slim..?
