I just watched this video posted by Jaco De Bruyn a very popular muscle model .. he went to get his BF% measured by Dexa Scan and guess what a elite Athlete like him got a result of 12.5 %!!! and in the video he said according to calipers it was around 6 or 7 % ! that's a freaking 5 to 6 % difference..this video made me really forget about my bf % and go with the mirror coz this guy has visible hard abs year round and he just got a 12.5 % and according to all the BF% and abs science out there u have to be below 10 % to look lean

here is the vid :

    I didn't watch the video (because LOLfacebook),
    but could the disconnect be (relatively) high visceral fat?
    17.5%

    The video says it's brain fat. Seriously, they assume he has 23% brain fat.

    You're making that up.

    I mean, the dexa would break out the parts, so they should know the BF% of each component. But if he has 23% brain fat, and his head is 25% of his total body weight, then...

    LOLOLOLOL. :laugh: Sorry, I just pictured what this would look like. Guess I need to watch this video to understand better the claim...because my BSometer is maxed right now.

    Listen at 4:25 and then look at the stop frame at 4:41 23.9% brain fat. I. Kid. You. Not.

    lololol.

    my point here is that this guy was depending on calipers and the calipers gave him a result of 6 to 7 % and by the actual BF% test he got 12 .5 % ..btw guys check other videos of people on youtube getting the same results when they do dexa theirs numbers are very different from calipers and they look pretty lean with visible abs and above 10 % bf ... in my pic im around 12 by calipers and my abs are visible .
