Changing my screen name to Fatty McMunster!

[The Munster]

It turns out I AM ALL THAT AND A SIDE OF SUPERSIZED FRIES!

So TLM and I decide to have out measurements taken and bodyfat calculated at the gym today (since they do it as a courtesy (special torture) for new members).
So we show up, put the girls in the Kid's Club (Kid's Accident Waiting to Happen Club) and meet with our "trainer," who by the way is all of 12.

So...I go first. The confusion, for me, begins when he uses his tape measure OVER my clothes. I'm fully prepared to take off my thick t-shirt and he said it's not necessary. OK whatever. He measures my biceps relaxed, not flexed.
???
He proceeds to measure the bodyfat with the calipers and pinches the 4 spots, INCLUDING MY SHIRT. I'm like, man I can take my shirt off. He said, again, that it wasn't necessary. OK whatever, dude.

The results---I'm 24% bodyfat. Yeah right!

Now don't get me wrong, I know I'm not super lean but there is NO WAY I'm 24%.

Here's the best part. TheLil'Missus is no longer TheLil'Missus. She should now be known as TheLARGEMissus because she is 30% bodyfat according to the Teen Titan Trainer.

AI, you met TLM. Do you think there is any way she is 30% bodyfat?

I think we'll be buying our own calipers and doing it ourselves from now on.

The good news is we both proceeded to kick the s--t out of the log book.

No I didn't say anything, we just laughed through our workout and then proceeded to come up with a bunch of fat-name-calling when we got home.

I really don't want to slander any place on a public forum but I will tell you that they are a national chain that started in CA and prides itself on being open 24 hours.

Maybe it's all that cheesecake I ate the past few days. Oh, yeah. It's already gone. Off the plate and on my butt, apparently, though The Munster doesn't seem to mind. Well, it's not so bad being 30% bf since I can still see muscles and all. Pretty cool actually. And apparently, since I'm 33 I get a different chart to figure out how much of me is fat. If I was the exact same measurements, but 4 years younger I'd be a bit less pudgy. Oh, yeah. The Munster mentioned the measurements being taken over the clothes...Yeah, since the thread talking about what everyone wears to work out I'm in an XL T-shirt and longer, loose shorts. All that material was worked into my numbers. I think the kid had put too much gel in his hair and it was seeping into his head, messing with his brain functioning. I don't wear shoes at the doctor's office for a reason, little man! Get down to the real thing if you want accurate. Oh, and by the way, I don't need your training, thanks!

ROFL!!! Toooo funny.

[Richard85]

Munster... Ive met you man your nowhere near 24, at the MOST your 12%

[In-Human]

Munster, Ok ready for this one, I work at a jr. college and we have a Fitness Center that does BF%, so the old guy who has been doing this for 8 years does the 3 pinch with calipers, now remember I am 280 here and he come up with........9%, LOLOL, I said what on my toe.

I am still laughing over that one, I would be lucky if I was 15%...

So I'm Fatty McMunster and you're SlimHuman!

[Kidrok (Hop)]

seriously maybe something should be said to management. Think about all the other people he's checking through their clothes and getting totally screwed up. And alot of these people won't know the difference and will go with what he said. Taking it a step further, if he doesn't have the common sense (yes, common sense says if you're taking a measurement of skin fold thickness and there is clothing pinched in....well DUH!!! lol) to properly do a skinfold test what the hell is this kid doing to people on training? He sounds like a liablity and is going to get someone tmessed-up.

[In-Human]

Munster, Was it rocky who did this to you?...

[Heckman]

Maybe I'll just throw my hands in the air and say...wtf? Who are these people?

[In-Human]

Heck, When this guy finished with me, I said "are you crazy, 9% my ass", by the way my ass alone is 19%.

And this guy has been telling college kids the BF% for all these years, oh man...

[GetnBigr]

Munster, Was it rocky who did this to you?...

lmao!!!!
