22% vs 18% Body Fat — Male(DEXA Verified)

current stats 188lbs approx 22 body fat DEXA; approximation word so needs_review; adult on TRT

r-fitness30plus 43M 5ft8.5; DEXA at 2022 Whistler Gran Fondo read 22.5 pct total body fat, green-shorts physique photo is Aug 2022 so contemporaneous but exact scan date not given hence needs_review. 22.5 rounds half-up to bucket 23. Later 15 pct is the poster own guess and disregarded. Post shows scan render and report page

r-fitness30plus 43M 6ft3 just under 200 lbs after 75 Hard; the DEXA scan I just went and got puts me at 22.6 pct. BIA scale reading of 12.8 disregarded. Three before-after shirtless mirror photo pairs load, current side is contemporaneous

26M. DexaFit scan 3/25/18: 152 lb, 22.2% body fat, with a before/after torso panel on imgur. The starting figure is given only as over 30% on 12/31/17, which is too vague to index. Crossposts 8fkoqh (r/Fitness) and 8cpn9u (r/leangains) are the same poster and scan.

32M 6ft1 170 lb, r/BTFC challenge intro; states he had a DEXA scan done the day of posting giving 22.7 percent with 38.7 lbs of fat out of 170.2 total; linked imgur album btfc3-r5cso shows front, back and side standing physique photos in shorts holding a handwritten proof sign reading redd.it slash opmod, album dated January 20 2012, verified loading 2026-08-11; poster later edits to speculate he is probably more like 18 percent by caliper convention, which is his own guess and is not recorded

same 28 year old male and post as the 27.4 percent entry, recorded separately per the different-scan-date ruling; the imgur album dexa-RB5PG printout lists the second scan Measured 06/19/2015 at 171.6 lb with Total Region percent Fat 22.4, and the after physique photos are described as taken the day of the post at about 170 lb, four days after the scan, SFW with the face whited out; album verified loading 2026-08-11
