^tell that to steve parker!
maintaining 7% is basically a hard task for anyone though. The problem is his definition of 7% is likely 14%...people really have a hard time understanding what 7% actually looks like.
AGREED!!!!Quote:

He really has no clue and is one of these guys who you can't tell anything because he thinks he knows it all.
Also thinks he was holding water last year at his show (that he won his class). He was holding wate3r but prob was holding 5lbs of fat. I guess people refuse to believe reality even when more experienced people in terms of competing tell him otherwise.
hahah steve is on a whole another level of lean... he looks like he's 2 weeks out from a show all year around. but the whole bf perception thing is way out of wack. i've had skinny kids come up to me saying they're 4% bf because they have abs as they're so skinny. same to the tubbies that say they're 8% to make themselves feel good. jeeez even contest time i was probably 7-8% on stage after dehydrating.Quote:

Some kid comes up to me and says "wow, you are so ripped, what % bf are you?" ...I told him I would guess around 6%. His response was: oh yeah, that's pretty good. I am 4%.
I am looking at this dude, with not even a hint of abs showing, looking at him, then looking at me..."did you not hear what I said - I am 6%, you are not 4%". And if you truly think you are 4%, then why don't you at least say something like "oh man, you're not 6%, you must be -10%".
Anyway, it doesn't bother me. People can think whatever percent they want. I don't really care what percent I am as long as I have striations within my striations, I am good to go.
I hope its sudbury...maybe he'll be in my class!Quote:

Where is that link to the "clueless competitor"...lol
ehehe....you are both right and I'm personnally way past the "internet number" trend.... so as a quick update, the 7.3% was the damned bodysphere machine.... my coach used calipers with the 8fold technique.... 9.7% came back, which in mind make a lot more sense. I'm bulking now, trying to stay in the 10-12% range....I've got a diet to follow for 4 weeks (3 remaining) and we'll measure again at the end. All in all I'm more confortable with this technique....
Great prices Dan, if you can promise to dial me in like you always are :yeahQuote:
