Jeff Cavaliere: how measuring Body Fat Percentage is killing your gains

3.75% hmm, i mean i am skinny as hell so wouldnt supprise me

Great info. Bioelectrical impedance tools(hand-held or bathroom BF scales) are definitely great tools to track changes and get a great estimate to your body fat %. I find that it’s consistent as long as you do what you said(same day&time). I recommend in the morning(before breakfast). I also like to use calipers and measuring tape on ‘problem areas’. From experience, I know when my waist is at ‘X’ inches, then I’m at 10% body fat.
For circumference BF% measurements, I personally have found the Navy Body Fat Calculator(Height,Weight,Waist,Neck,Hip) to be quite accurate.

Rubbish
I’m old and and my wrinkles drool off my biceps
How fat am i

This thing is complete ass just buy a body composition scale. I got mine from Walmart for 20$ and it measures my body fat and water percentage

This is absolutely incorrect! I cant belive that you give space on TV to gays like this one.

This is completely wrong. What if I did an older women and her arm sags down 40 Millimeters. Under her Tricep muscle does that mean she’s 50% fat this is completely wrong

Hey Paul,

I couldn`t find anywhere this in your videos. During a cut, should we listen to those smart scales that tell you your body fat% or should we just check our weight and make progress pictures?
Thanks!

Oh and don’t get off the scales. Measure body fat in conjunction with scales. Geez. Some women really want to ignore the fact that they are fat…

Why are there so many h8ers commenting.
Don’t talk someone out of shaping themselves up after you have failed.

If they weight the same the volume is the same because if they weight the same and you take random amounts of it and say they weigh the same then they dont weigh the same do they thats like getting a bag of feathers and a brick that weight a pound and argueing that a feathers way the same as brick if you have a pound of fat and a pound of muscle no shit they weigh the same you need to take a relative ammount and compare

The best soccer player on the girls team (11th grader) has a total of 7% body fat and is ripped and can out run over 2/3 of the football team

Abdominal fat doesn’t correlate to cardiovascular disease. It contributes and causes it

He is measure the height of the skin. He is not measure the width.

Do samples of women and what they look like at different percentages

It shows you how people are so misinformed and naive even celebrities like this idiot Rachel Ray to bring this clown on TV.

What is my body fat? My v line abs are visible but my actual abs are only slightly visible

But women have different places to accumulate fat the most. Two women who have same bf%, and say one of them accumulate it more on the upper body area, where as the other one, lets say gains more fat on the lower body area won’t have the same bf percentage with this same formula. So how can this be accurate? And if this isn’t, what is the more accurate formula? I’d like to know.
I have the most body fat on my waist and hip area, my legs and arms are extremely skinny that if i use this formula Id be considered athlete.

Caliper is NOT the most accurate as it doesn’t take into account visceral fat.. What is this from the 80s??

Great Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered Dinanlinson Shrinking Body Approach (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for discovering a weird waist slimming water to lose belly fat without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my BF got astronomical success with it.

Ok I love Jeff but there is no way he is at 4.9% bf in this video. Pro bodybuilders get down to 4% or 5% for competitions and they are way more shredded and lean

wtf kind of fountain of youthhow does Jeff look older then than he does now?

I have 12% bf but I will do an athlean-x and say to people that I have 8%

When you get old your fat will be very low and then skin pinching is great!

I’m 14 and this is the only body fat calculator I can use, others say I’m between 0-5 percent body fat(I’m definitely not, I’m like between 12-13)

Thanks for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about Patlarny Escape Fat Principle (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting slim without exercise minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate at very last got amazing success with it.

“…When you’re a man, you’re gonna want to measure in 3 places…” Tell ’em, Jeff. Don’t candy coat it. Measurements matter. Proper technique in also crucial. Ha ha

What about skin i have very eleastic skin does it play a part

I hope this doesn’t come across as a dick, but you need some chap stick…like really bad.

I’m 14, workout a lot and I’d say pretty muscular and have 8 percent bf is that healthy?

Jeff i got measured at 10 percent flat by a personal trainer BUT 12.5 with bio impendance

My thigh has like no body fat, I run a lot and do legs every 3 days. I cant even pinch anything there lol

I will try this and let you know the results because I just got mine done via ultra sound. It was 16.3%. I am a 46 yr old female. I will do it tomorrow and let u know the results

Thank you for telling us not to trust the scale because I have been convinced mine has been lying based off of what I see in the mirror. Looking forward to checking this manually.

am i not pinching hard enough, my skin doesnt just come off that easily lol

It is plausible that Jeff has 5% body fat. No one thinks he looks like that body fat level because the pics they’re used to seeing of people at that body fat are of fitness models and bodybuilders, who are on gear. Roids increase your blood volume, thus making the veins pop out more. Natty vascularity doesn’t show up on camera as well as juicehead vascularity, but I can assure you that if you saw Jeff in person, he would look pretty damn veiny.

That smile in the end of each intro is marketing tool that lead to be known for

Looks like I’m at 20%, I wanna get shredded, I’ma work for it

I got 12% but going by those pictures I would be more like 8%. I am really lean, veins popping out everywhere and the finer striations in my muscles are quite visible when I exercise. Trying to bulk back up a little after some serious cutting. Went from 85kg down to 76 over three months hard training with strict calorie restriction. That was after already loosing 18kgs over the previous 18 months. I will have to see what my waist measures before I eat tomorrow and try again? Not long finished feasting so the waist is a bit expanded. I doubt I would be 8% but it seems like I would probably be below 12%?

Bro I think you didn’t clip your skin folds correctly. Mine was decent 14% at 162 lbs.

So guys I just have a personal doubt that if my neck’s fat is more thicker than compared to my belly’s fat so what am I suppose to do?

You could do it in less than 1 minute…. you wasted 8 additional minutes

I used the measuring tape method, I barely had any on my chest, practically nothing on my thigh, but I had like an inch on my belly:/

No one wants to mention Jeff is reading body fat to pinch measurements off a piece of unopened mail?

The calculator gave me 10-12% (depending on where I measure my waist, at the navel or right above) but looking at myself in the mirror I look more like 16-17% comparing my body to bodyfat charts. I only see the very top of my abs, a few inches above my belly button. Anyone have any insight into this?

I’m 4% �� I don’t get how, even tho I eat so much junk food however I do a fair bit of exercise ��

I disagree I got more fat in my love handles than I do in my abs and chest

i always thought i was under 10 % body fat but now i realize i am 10 % bodyfat, it says athletic so i am happy

Is it true that to be more accurate all measures should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach and after going to the toilet? Because my weight for example its different inthe morning and obviously during the day after food and a lot of water ingested…

Idk. My scale says 22.3% and the calculator that you adviced says 15%.
And im def. Not 15%:d would be nice tho

Is there any way to make my wrist bigger, cause it’s so small when my body fat drop ( i train my forearm but my wrist still small and my forearm and finger slightly get bigger)

Is there any other way I can estimate my bodyfat somewhat reliably? I have a thick neck, so the calculator spews out 9% bodyfat, however not even my top line of abs is visible ��

I hope it’s not true
Cause I am training 4 years straight consistend. I have visible abs and quite well visible muscles. And it says am 21 body fat somehow lol ����

Mannnn I went from 285 to 238 in 8 weeks and I’m 24% body fat….this sucks man ������

I got 17% body fat and my weight is 68 and i got FIT on my bodyfat category �� thanks this is awesome..

I did a bunch of different calculators and I always get around 20% to 21% but I look like im over 40 in my eyes. I dont get it.

How come the girl on top of fat Percentages at 30% looks smaller than the women to her left at only 25% fat

Can I say something Paul? Every time you smile at the beginning of the video, I find myself smiling ��

My at home scale says I’m 19% bf. The calculator says I’m 32%?? Definitely wildly wrong for me.

I’m contest shape right now…but it says 20% female. Who knows anymore lol. I’d say I’m about 14-15 if I was to guess (I know ppl like to say 8% but for females even in contest shape…highly unlikely)

What if I got hella loose skin and when I strech that thing goes to Mars

I’ve never trained before and im 59 135 14 inch neck 27 inch waist apparently im 4 percent but i still can’t see abs this is not accurate at all

If you had 2% body fat you would die say you are 200 pounds 2% fat thats 4 pounds your brain and organs are mostly fat the brain is 60% fat and is 3 pounds so about half your fat not including fat from your organs and essential fat to store to support your skin muscle and bone and 1% of that 2% is litteraly just your brain so either your brainless and organless or just increadibly stupid

10% using calculator. 10.5% using my scale. Pretty good calc.

Paul, using the formula you provide is what we use in the military. For the waist measurement on males we use the belly button. For women we use where the waist is narrowest. Which for females can be slightly above the belly button.

I’m 17% bodyfat. I did the dirty bulk. Lol. I’m 212 now. I’m 5’11.

18:55 Who else heard him say “testsosticles” ���� I’m dying ��

I think I’m 14-20% body fat, so I guess I am fitness to average ��

So no equipment…..er… just a tape measure, a belt, a set of scales….. ������

And seriously you people are just plain fucking wrong people who have 15% body fat have easily seen abs this women has much more fat then I do and 12% is body builder level fat im probably 18% and im near a 6 pack if she is 15% then im lower in body fat then body builders who have vains in popping out in there chest ass stomach ect without even having a 6 pack with this logic

wow this the second video of yours I have watched and well played sir SUBCRIBED

I’m a woman and mine is 41 percent so what does that say about me

I wonder what the +/is for this calculator. I plugged in my measurements and got 9% body fat. 5’11” 12″ neck 27″ waist 172lbs. I would have guessed I’m around 12% body fat but going by the photos provided I’m in between the 6-7% and 10-12%.

I used to measure around my fattiest areas, namely my gut and ass, at the widest points possible. If those numbers went down, I had to be losing fat. The gut’s tricky because I could suck in and fool myself, so I would try and measure at then end of a relaxed but deep exhale every time.

I’m 5′ tall 110lbs and gives me 23% body fat. Same as my scale. I can see my four upper abs but my mommy pooch is still there but try as i may i just can’t go lower than that. That’s that mean that my mommy belly will never disappear? I think is worth mentioning that i have 5 kids and just wondering if it’s possible to reach that tightening in your lower belly. I really like the way I look in the mirror except when I jump�� it still wobbles.��

My adams apple sticks out some, Do I still put the belt over it, under it or over above it? Thanks for this, Ive always used the Omron hand squeeze one.

I cannot grab any???? Wtf…
I can only grab my stomach slightly but only when lying down.

I don’t get that link:(
Where’s the link given in description?

Why i never founf this video….thanks mate…and thanks to that website!

It says I’m 7% body fat but I don’t think I am I guess I’m pretty skinny but my legs and stomach to me seem to be a little soft and mainly fat I’m 15 6,2 140lbs does anybody have any input to as if it’s correct or incorrect?

This calculator says I am 14% body fat while doing stupid formula math is saying I am 16% I think this is more legit and I think I’m a little while I am eligible for abs at 199 lbs

thanks man 6 months ago i weighted 260 lb and now i weight 180lb and i have 22% body fat and this video was helpful keep up the good work

Absolutely superbly explained. Detailed and precise. Thanks so much!!

For me this is the best health and fitness channel on youtube

Looks like no one ever really done your challenge. I don’t see one comment about anyone doing it or had done it

No! She is obese! For fucks sake�� does she look ANYTHING like a fit person? She probably cant tie her shoes without being winded you’re full of shit!! Report this fucking video it promotes obesity!!

@gravity Training Zonethe devices that track your body fat by holding up is not exactly acturate or have an inconsistency. I tested on one it showed me at 18% body fat at my real age. When I changed the age to 25 all the sudden i am consistently at 14% body fat. That is a huge difference. I did the same test on a body fat scale and age 25 was closer to my real body fat. Adding my real age 40 yrs old brought the body fat 3-4% higher. So now i just use the tape measure. Thanks for the video.

I watched this entire video and you never showed how to take measurements on a woman.

omg thanks man will try it when I get home you should have more subscriber you care about people not just selling

I need help… can u explain if i fast for 48 hour weekly and eat at maintenance is it optimal for preserving muscle while cutting and is it ok for my bmr?

Have been walking around with 9% for 2 months… You just look soo small in clothes your sex drive goes down crazy and your face looks so bony. I suggest going for 12-14% wayy healthier and better for gains.

I have 5 porcent body fat and I have veins passing true all of my chest and shoulders

This is the best channel I have come across for advice easily. Thanks

I’m trying to get 2% body fat so I can take of my shirt when I’m changing with people

” this might look questionable..” lol!!

Great vid! Deff interesting techniques!

I use a soft measuring tape that is for sewing purposes. Works great! And I’ve been using the navy calculator for a while now but wasn’t sure how accurate it was so I’m glad to know you approve.

Love your commentary man. Excellent and on point. Keep it real.

I’ll admit I didn’t watch every moment of the video, but did I miss the method of measuring body fat without calipers?

Wait! The calculation depends on the pinch right? The problem here is u can grab how much ever fat u want.. If u want u can grab more fat or even less and due to that the results vary.. So is there any way to pinch properly in order to get the optimum measurement?

I normally sit around 10% very comfortably and I can say that in my senior year of high school, I cut over 20 pounds to make the weight class and I was probably in that 7% range and I can tell you, it was horrible. I looked like I was dying constantly and I didn’t even feel strong. Unless you’re competing, I wouldn’t purposely try to dip below 8%

Whoa whoa whoa…….at 8:50 you say you’re around 15 percent and youre stong as fuck.  I gotta be like 60 percent then!  That is why bfp is odd to me.

When you say that abs are visible does ir mean they are visible flexing, or visible while being relaxed?

everyodys body physioology behaves differently under different body fat %ages. You can be below 10% in a very healthy way depending on how strategic you are with your diet and training on what/when/how you’re doing everything.

If you are reading this, I pray that your stomach gets flatter without you having to workout.

I wonder how Jeff Cavaliere stays 5-7% all year but his video about his daily meal was including whipped cream and stuff. Something’s not revealed 100%, and no I’m not saying he isn’t natty. I realized this after watching your educational videos, Igor.

Dancing was a riot. Very funny. Def stick w bodybuilding or you could make a decent Batman maybe. Whats wrong w eggs and bacon (grass fed)? Bacon is protein and fat. Fat is insulin neutral and eggs are good for you..entire egg, not just egg whites.

Nice job with the half=assed cherry picking your measurements what a joke. Truth be told she is likely 35*40%. In addition to the bicep, you measure the pectoral, the iliac, and mid thigh. You also have to measure the circumference of the neck, chest, waist hips, arms and legs relaxed and contracted. Then AFTER you average out all of the ALL OF THE MEASUREMENTS you go to the body fat chart.

This vid seems a bit, well, lopsided. Fat people do look like that. And way more extreme. (way, shudder, way more extreme…)
But, I am more interested in figuring out where I am on the scale. I swim, a lot, and cycle some, but I don’t lift. And I am simply not on your scale at all. None of the bodies displayed look anything like me. (5’9 & 69Kg, but, that’s meaningless as far as bodyfat. Maybe you guys are simply doing it wrong, and the measurement should be muscle %?)
.
It all seems as though there are bodybuilders, and fat people. But. Well. There are so many more shapes and sizes to consider.
What does a skinny person with no muscles look like? What does skinny does a nerd gamer have?
Or a tradesman that does 10 hours a day of physical work, and likes beer?
.
This Video is young healthy men, and then You will become a Dad.
Is there other people in your universe?

Prison camp people probably have 6-8% body fat, and they sure don’t look like anyone in your video.
(They probably take too much of the wrong drugs. )
