Sounds like he was in the 1% zone

Not many in that category, although I'm sure the USMC has far more than the Navy...lol I would have requested to have my BF checked at a medical facility where they can get a more accurate reading. I think the Navy used to do a height/weight check, then they went with a neck vs waist measurement. If you were a very fit muscular guy (or gal), you could go to the next step as listed above. (Needless to say, I was within standards like the vast majority using the tape measure.) It was a pretty clear difference in those very fit people who might request going to medical to be tested, and those who were...well..."disgusting fat bodies." (R. Lee Ermey)

If our weight won't go down, just get taller**

Get older. You'll become less concerned.**

How can a scale tell how much muscle you have?**
GretnaHokie • 06/17/25 11:14 AM ET
Smart scale.
EDGEMAN • 06/17/25 11:26 AM ET
Pretty cool technology. **
GretnaHokie • 06/17/25 12:45 PM ET
Indeed. They've been around for a while, but I just stumbled across...

What smart scale are you using?**
Happy Dog • 06/17/25 11:57 AM ET
Hume.

Hope it’s not the one VDOT uses.**

I used to wonder about that as it pertained to working out, esp with…

It's good to "tone". What does that mean? You just mean it's good to add
BG Hokie • 06/17/25 12:55 PM ET

You're either adding muscle mass, maintaining muscle mass, or you're losing

I started lifting (again) a little over a year ago, but had stopped...
EDGEMAN • 06/17/25 10:47 AM ET
I would suggest that you don't consider cardio your leg workouts. Train
BG Hokie • 06/17/25 01:19 PM ET
Well...the very first rule...
