22% Body Fat — Male (DEXA Verified Examples)

range

Twenty-two percent in men usually presents as a soft torso with a rounded lower abdomen and established love handles. Muscle in the shoulders and back can still advertise training history, but the midsection no longer does. Vascularity is rare outside the hands. The face has ordinary adult fullness; some men see a bit of softness under the chin that was absent in the teens. Lower-back fat blunts the V-taper even when lats are wide. Thighs are covered enough to hide most separation. This is a frequent result outside physique sports. The step from 20% is small in any single photo and more obvious in a series of waist measurements. Daily activity and diet still move the number, but the visual is that of a typical non-cutting adult male rather than a dieting lifter.

    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

    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.
