PT/Body stats

[Cult of Personality]

Had a PT for 5 weeks and lost nearly a stone and a half and over 3 inches off my waist but my body fat percentage has not budged.

He reckons this happens in a few people as a rarity but since everything else is coming down it's just a wrong reading?

Obviously I'm over the moon with me current results but makes you feel shit when you get your weekly reading and that bugger hasn't budged.

wrong readings

if you're quite over weight and its with calipers, it can be quite inaccurate.

weight and inches gone, you have 100% lost body fat.

So smile, and feel good.

keep it up pal

If you were weighed on one of the bioelectrical scale things, they're unreliable. Change in your hydration status most likely.

I have never worried about BF measurements with clients aside from when it's been dictated by company policy to do so, and that's only ever been with elite football players. I just don't find it particularly valuable if you have a coach with a trained eye, although I understand that others like to give more indications of reassurance to PT clients etc.
