Dan, here’s the article you were talking about in the latest Instagram video in case you want to share it.

Thank you, my friend! It's still the very best thing I have seen to explain the reality of body mass. The original ones didn't have good 25% photos (horrible swimsuit) and these are better.

The men's 25% shot is not right (in my experience) but prolly reflects their work.

Interesting photos. I've used calipers for years - and even though the results probably aren't that accurate - they are repeatable. So if I'm happy with whatever number I generate - and I can keep that result over time - I'm satisfied.

They seem to not get 25% though. Josh has extensive work here and 19-24% for women is where most woman seem to look and maintain best.

In my case, the difference between 8% (college) and 19% (today) is so Irish: I'm not sure I could have cuts unless they go full cadaver on me.

I certainly feel that the 25% is a little on the hefty side, is that what you’re alluding to Dan?

Dan - what measurement method was used on your 8% and 19%?

I just think the pics they use for 25% don't reflect what I see. Swimsuit models from my youth were probably more like 25...but, I don't know. I just think they use poorer quality shots as the load goes up.

They used to use a woman with a lifeguard bikini for like 35% and she looked excellent. I am wondering if it would be better to have everyone in one pose, one suit.

It's just a small point...

Visual Body Fat Percentages

Photographic techniques especially in regards to technical (ie. computer/digital) touch-ups have changed drastically in the past two and half decades. It's hard to trust any visual images anymore unless you're viewing the subject in person, IMHO.

My body fat was assessed at 20% via Bod Pod. I look slightly leaner than the picture provided as an example of 20% for men, although I think that the photos are pretty accurate with the exception of the 25%.

Dan, do you still consider yourself a "3" on the Venn diagram provided in "Can You Go?"

Yes. I'm getting closer to not being a three.
