#104 - How Much Body Fat and Muscle Mass Have I Gained?

Do you know what a DEXA scan is?

Just in case you don’t know, it is a Dual Energy Xray Absorptiometry.

So you understand it simply, it is a very low dose X-ray that can determine a ton of data about your body including

• Body fat %
• Lean Mass (therefore predicting muscle mass)
• And bone mineral density

And it is currently the gold standard for determining your body fat percentage.

I went back to Body Measure, which is a great local business I’ve gone back to for the last few years and I’ve been able to track my progress.

I now have 6 different tests to compare and contrast.

This last DEXA scan had some really cool information, and I learned a lot from it.

So I wanted to do a whole podcast to break down what I found out and what I learned from my last build phase.

Because some of the information is really good and exciting!

However…there are also some bad truths I have to see too 😛

But I want to be transparent about everything, including taking ownership of where I went wrong in this last build phase.

So in this episode, I discuss :

• Where is my body fat percentage compared to the last 5 tests
• Why I’m not bothered by having more body fat
• Why my visceral fat is NOT healthy and why I should be concerned
• How much muscle I have built
• How much muscle I was able to build on my arms
• All the strategies I used to help me grow better
• My Cookie Monster challenge
• My upcoming Powerlifting challenge

So you know, every lesson I talk about on this podcast is also a lesson you can use.

I want to make sure the mistakes I’m making are ones you don’t have to.

And so this episode has a lot of value for you to learn from.
