Height - 167cm
Weight - 91kg
Waist - 104cm
Chest - 115cm
Upper Arm - 35cm
Thigh - 61cm
There it is.
First is to get rid of excess adipose tissue, the fat around the abdomen. To find out what my body fat percentage is, I have found a hand little formula at Wapedia-Wiki:
- Brozek formula: BF = (4.57/ρ − 4.142) × 100
- Siri formula is: BF = (4.95/ρ − 4.50) × 100
But unfortunately, I don't know how to find my density.
However there is the caliper method using various skin folds and formulas. All I need now is a caliper.
Well, thank you US Navy. They happen to have a system based on circumferences. I just have to bust out Granpop's old measuring tape and bam.
Here are the measurements:
Height - 167cm
Neck - 43cm
Abdomen - 112cm
Body fat: 32.9%
From Wikipeadia:
"According to Health Check Systems,[2] The American Council on Exercise[3] has categorized ranges of body fat percentages as follows:
| Description | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|
| Essential fat | 12–15% | 2–5% |
| Athletes | 16–20% | 6–13% |
| Fitness | 21–24% | 14–17% |
| Acceptable | 25–31% | 18–25% |
| Obese | 32%+ | 25%+ |
Oops. Oh well, I guess I am obese.
Now let the games begin!
Enjoy!
