DEXA scan from Bodyspec pegged me at 26%. Did I get fucking scammed or is my skinnyfatness worse than I thought? 5'11 - 174lbs during the time of the scan, should I cut down to 145lbs to hit 13%?
26 is the same as 14 on the Internet. Those guys that you see on stage that say they're "7%" are really around 13% do you rlly think a 180 lb man with 10% body fat only has 18 pounds of fat on him? No that's ridiculous

looks like you hold all your fat in your gyno

You should probably start thinking about starting to workout before you get all confused with %'s and such.

Well see the thing is I can honestly say I followed Greyskull LP for an entire year last year besides June and July. Also stopped doing squats from September to December because of a bad back injury but recently started again.
But anyway I feel like I've been spinning my wheels because I never consciously tried a bulk/cut cycle. I don't know whether to bulk or cut because my belly tells me to cut while the rest of my body says bulk.

You look really bad
tempted to get DEXA scan now to see what my bf% is.
>>35479289
I actually think you look pretty good, what did you do to achieve that?
If it means anything I am grill and I think you look p good too.
would you be more disappointed if a DEXA scan told you your bf% was higher than you thought or lower?

You'll be fine if you keep working out while cutting your life isn't going to end too many fags on here scream about losing muscle mass when they're living the perma bulk life

I was mostly counting on the DEXA scan to ballpark how much I would need to cut before I could begin a slow bulk. I've been skinnyfat all my life so it would be more motivating for me to get lean first before bulking. Also, I've read that it's best to cut to 10% and bulk to 15% the repeat. But if the DEXA scan tells me that I need to cut all the way down to 145lbs at my height then I don't know anymore...
My scales tell me I'm 17.6% and my calipers say 2%, which so I believe /fit/?
I'm pretty sure I'm doing the calipers wrong :^)

There is no fucking way that's 26%. DEXA scans do have error sometimes.
If I were you, I'd cut 5-10 lbs then start a very slow bulk (~200 cal surplus).
