A lot of it does depends on genetics and muscle mass. Some people store fat differently, and where you store it is down to genetics. However, if you don't have a lot of muscle mass, you can look pretty "skinny fat" at lower body fat percentages due to muscle not filling up those areas of your body.
@jclaakso79456 жыл бұрын
the thing is though, he's not "skinny fat". He looks like has a decent amount of muscles (arms, traps, shoulders) and if he were in fact 12%, he would look pretty good. He's not in bad shape in the beginning, but no way that we has at 12%

Thanks for sharing your experience. This hernia will be a reminder for proper periodization / execution of the exercise program in the future. Not all bodily tissues are able to withstand strain and recover from it following a similar timeline. It will hopefully heal, not become sequestered, but unless surgically taken care of, it'll keep on being a weak spot in your abdomen. Exercise is life, it is therapeutic and can also be detrimental. It all depends on how it is approached. Be well 👍

Looks like they didn't even measure his body fat directly, they only estimated it based on his physical measurements, which is very inaccurate. To measure accurately you need a DEXA scan which uses lower energy x-rays to directly measure body composition. Or to do hydrostatic weighing, which requires the body to be submerged to measure body density. Or an MRI imaging. I didn't see any of that in the segment. They're probably off by as much as 5-6%.
