Reeeeaaaallly?7-8% BF
Yes.What do you mean what you will come out at?
I thought the Dexa scan was used test for measuring bone mineral density.
Did you stop taking your multi vit and calcium yesterday?
The DEXA is primarily used to measure bone density, along with a host of other scans, but BF% happens to be a part of that host. All BF measurements have their short comings, but the DEXA is held as a gold standard, even above hydrostatic for BF accuracy.What do you mean what you will come out at?

Haha, yes, Price is Right rules apply.so do I win with an 8% guess or does Somewhatgifted win with a 10% guess? I believe The Price is Right gives it to whoever is closest beneath the right number.
SWG :28:

It can also measure body water content. My guess is 14% fat.
I have had three, and they costed me roughly 250 smackers every time.how much does one of these scans usually run?
You must have great insurance.I have had three, and they costed me roughly 250 smackers every time.
Well I'm still covered under my parents insurance, being a college student.You must have great insurance.
Bone density and such.. Diagnose osteo issues.how can insurance cover that? there is no real (medical) reason to get one of these scans right, that would warrant them covering it?
I need to get one of those, im probably like at 25 or something.Down here they're $40 a scan for students. Fee was waived for me, as my professor runs it.. Fukc yeah!
DEXA's are fairly popular with the elderly. As Ozark mentioned, bone density, perhaps arthritic diagnosis. The BF% reading is a side note, but it happens to be an incredibly accurate note.how can insurance cover that? there is no real (medical) reason to get one of these scans right, that would warrant them covering it?
Like his bone density? :biglaugh:OZ did you get other stats to go with that? Id be interested in seeing all the results.

I think it reads things like subcutaneuous vs visceral fats, organ size, etc.... I've always wanted to tell someone "your axial skeleton sucks, bro. Do some weight bearing exercises and stop being a pu$$y"
Let's see...OZ did you get other stats to go with that? Id be interested in seeing all the results.

Let me do some searching.Thanks for the rep bro! Down almost 10% body fat and up over 10 lbs of LBM is an awesome achievement for a year i think. Do you have a before picture?
The thing that worked best for me is/was a Paleo-style diet. No grains, no dairy, etc...EEEEEESH! thats really low, id be happy to get to like 10% but i know ill still show love handles at that point as well. But it would be better than what im at now! ha
What kinda diet/workout did you follow out of curiosity
