The PN Challenge officially began for me yesterday. Today, I finally got around to getting most of my important data collected, so that I could submit my official registration for the contest. The results were shocking to say the least.
I have a Tanita bodyfat scale that uses an electrical signal to measure results. I’ve never believed it prior to today, simply because the results seemed to be wrong. Today I had a chance to measure my BF% using a different method – bodyfat calipers – and the results more or less validated the Tanita scale’s accuracy.
Anyways, here are my hard “before” numbers:
- Weight: 237 lbs
- Bodyfat %:
31% (calipers)29% (Tanita) - Lean Mass: 166 lbs
- Fat Mass: 71 lbs
Girth:
Neck: 17.25″
Shoulder: 54″
Chest: 45″
Upper Arm: 15.5″
Waist: 43″
Hip: 39.5″
Thigh: 25″
Calf: 16.5″
And here are the photos:

I’ll be posting the details of my strategy and goals tomorrow!
