As part of the Paleo Challenge, I got a hydrostatic body composition test tone from FitnessWave. Its nice to know that my home scale is WAY off, as the number was kinda frighting… granted I’m still not terribly thrilled with the more accurate results:
| Home Scale | 30.9% |
|---|---|
| Hydrostatic | 21.7% |
According to their recommended percentages, this puts me at the very upper end of the “average” for men. One of these days it would be awesome to get down to single digits, but for now I’ll be happy to drop down into the teens.
The ironick part of it is that I’m basically the same percentage as I was two years ago (21.4 on 02/20/2008), but my weight has gone up. Which means I’ve been adding lean mass, as well as adding to the spare tire unfortunately.
