Man that was an eye opener.
I always considered hydrostatic to be next best to dexa, but I had no idea how off it could be.

My hydrostatic test put me at like 4.3%BF
My Dexa Scan put me at like 8.5%BF

Back to dieting I guess lol

no haven't done a bod pod. I could, but I always thought hydrostatic was better. Maybe I'll go get one done for the heck of it and see whats the difference.
Im still bummed. walked out this morning thinking 4% holy crap.
hour later I'm 8%. talk about kicking the boy in the damn ding dong

Honestly though? Who fucking cares what any of them say...

Look in the mirror. That will tell you how lean you are... Or are not

Post a pic of 8% evolve ..if u don't mind..
Thanks enigmatic for the terminology. Where do you get done? Club or dr?

I'll see what I can do. I'm hesitant on pics as I have a lot of very distinguishing Tattoos. would need lots of cropping lol

I got it done at some place called premiere scan.
I actually just google searched and called many places.
Also read a lot of discussion only searches and it turns out there was one close by me. I been putting this off since the only one I knew about is about 45 mins or so away and hours are only during the work week which makes it not a great pick for me.
That's why I stuck to hydrostatic for so long.

How much does it cost?

The hydrostatic test is $45
Dexa scan first time cost $90
then every visit after that is $70
I hear it use to be 70 and 50, but of course its gained popularity and prices went up lol

thanks, Im grateful to get to the single digits.
It does show me though how hard it gets to diet for a show once you get down in this range. this is the first time Ive been able to get to this point with as many calories as I have been eating.
Im actually a bit surprised to have kept making progress as long as I have riding out a 2700-3k area daily.
