Is 34% a high amount of muscle mass.

Female
24 years old
Height - 155cm
Weight - 59kg
Body Fat 30.5%
Water - 47%

I am using electronic scales to get these measurements.

What are others different percentages?

    i think you mean lean body mass.. you are more than just water, fat and muscle. there's also skeleton, organs, tendons, joints, etc. all of those things along with muscle make up your lean body mass

    What meshashesha said is right!

    I'm around 55.5kg and 157cm, female. My body fat % is around 25.5%. Considering my lifting strength, I'd say I do not have a whole lot of lean body mass. I'm working on increasing it.

    If you want to find out whether or not you have a lot of muscle, why not try weight lifting and see how heavy you can go? Squats, deadlifts, bench, shoulder press, pull ups/ rows are great! Love barbells and dumbbells.
