I started out with a weight goal of 184lbs, which would take me to a BMI of 24.9. As I got close to that goal, I started looking into Body Fat percentage rather than BMI as a goal. At my first hydrostatic dunk test,I discovered I had 22. 2% Body fat, 1 month later I was able to lower it to 21.1%. I found that if ate properly and got my exercise in, I could make this Body Fat thing work for me. I learned that 15% Body Fat is ideal for a man my age, so I set my goal to that. Well, it has only been about 3 months and my last test showed that I am at 15.4%. Since it is working so well, and I feel like I am making tremendous progress in the Gym, I have decided to drop my goal down to 13% BF. According to the charts at 24HR Fitness, 13% is considered “Athletic” or “Excellent”. Who would have thought that I would be considered “Athletic”?
