If you're genuinely confused about this, I'll explain. And considering how important Lean Body Mass (LBM) is, I think it's worth the time. When you get right down to it, LBM is the most important thing to understand about your body. The rest is secondary. Muscle mass, organs, frame size, bone density, cartilage, connective…

I have definitely looked into getting a "bod pod" body composition analysis done, which is supposed to be more accurate than the electrical resistance machines, but to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if my body fat % ends up lower than what the resistance machine indicated and my lean body mass is closer to 140 than 130.…

There's definition in my abs and limbs, but not super ripped. And then I used an electrical resistance meter which said I had 33% body fat. My current…

I'm 5'6" and I'm not sure what my goal weight should be. I've lost over 20 lbs so far,and when I look in the mirror now I like what I see at 198 lbs. I have very muscular legs and abs with a nice layer of subcutaneous fat on top, with an hourglass figure and broad shoulders. My size 14 work pants are getting pretty lose,…
