Guess My Bodyfat, Get a F.REE T-Shirt

I’m gonna make this quick as I am typing on my phone.

Basically, I’m headed to get my body composition tested tonight. I will give away one free small, medium, large, and extra large t-shirt to the people with the closest guesses of my measured bodyfat percentage.

The rules:

1) Your guess has to be in the comment box below the article. Not on Facebook, not on Twitter, and not a reply to this email. Comment box. You must include your guess and what size shirt you want so I know what category to put you in.

2) I’ll be giving away one shirt in each size (S-XL).

3) Shirts will be given away in ethe order of the guesses are received. So, it’s in your best interest to guess earlier rather than later.

4) I will take the guesses (from each size group) that are closest to the actual percentage. So, it’s ok to go over. It’s not like The Price is Right.

5) I’ll post the official results on Friday when I announce the winners so you all know I’m not just picking favorites. Haha.

Sorry for the bad lighting and the ugly mug. There’s much I can do about either of them. Sad Panda.

Let the guessing begin!!

UPDATE

Between myself, all of you, and 3 other trainers, I was pegged between 10-12%. I would have bet large sums of money on it.

Here’s the hint:

Only 1 person is remotely and NO ONE has gone over.

We have to guess on our own and not from a pic? No fair.
My guess is 12.7% via bod pod.

Have fun tonight and too bad I could not make it. I am sure the Bod Pod misses me from the hundreds of tests I’ve ran on it.

Rock on

You crazy kids. When I said I’ll post the pic when I get home, I meant “when I get home from work.” It should be up shortly if you’d like to change your guesses.

Adam, I can guarantee it’s more than 8.5% *hint hint*

10.2% in a Medium.
p.s. I enjoy the size shirt that Ray requested “xm”, as in Extra Medium maybe? Apparently Ray is more than just average.

Your update suggest that you are 16% or higher. That can’t be.

Comment by matrix2pyro — July 22, 2010 @ 1:35 pm
32

Tough call.. I’d say prob under 10%

9.2%

Size lg if they are cut small r a medium is cut big

@matrix2pyro
You need to be more specific.

@Derrick
You may want to re-read the “Update”.

Comment by Dave — July 22, 2010 @ 1:47 pm

@Dave I’ll say 16.3% but that’s only to throw out a number. I don’t see how you could be close to that, so now I’m just here to learn what’s going on.

Comment by matrix2pyro — July 22, 2010 @ 1:51 pm

Based on the hint I’m going to say 22%

I’m stumped…when is the reveal?

Comment by Adam | SEE — July 22, 2010 @ 3:36 pm

19% which I think is high but.

Comment by One Fine Jay — July 22, 2010 @ 4:11 pm
38

Ok so if you are at 16.2%… I don’t believe it…
I was tested at like 15 or something with lose skin and look nothing like you…

So is that a win for looking shrewdest without being strict? Or a fail because it’s so high?

Comment by Derrick — July 22, 2010 @ 4:27 pm

My second guess is 21.6%

Comment by Paul Olson — July 22, 2010 @ 5:57 pm

Dave,
I’m guessing 10.3%. I wear a large.
Thanks

Smart give away.

11.0%

Comment by Joe Petrusky — July 22, 2010 @ 7:13 pm

I would say – 7.7 % body fat! My size tee is XL….question is it 100% cotton, made in USA, and pre-shrunk? Since you upper class, I’m sure you are hooking up your fans with a high quality brand tee:)

Comment by Endurance Pro — July 22, 2010 @ 7:30 pm

You’re all very silly. Let me make the hint blatantly obvious for you….

It’s OVER 15.3% (The highest guess before I posted the hint)

Comment by Dave — July 22, 2010 @ 7:41 pm
44

Based on new info – 16.2% BF. (Size L)

Comment by Linda — July 22, 2010 @ 7:45 pm

Okay, since I read the fine print…I’m going to change my guess to 22% because today is July 22nd. LOL! I only wear shirts made in Bangladesh! LOL! No offense peeps! Buenas Noches! Oh size XL, I have more body fat than you Dave! Good work Spartacus!

Comment by Endurance Pro — July 22, 2010 @ 8:01 pm

18% small

Comment by Adel — July 22, 2010 @ 8:27 pm

I need a new shirt…Large…16.75%!

Comment by Bill Jones — July 23, 2010 @ 6:05 am

Since I now know you do NO cardio, my guess is 18.6% and still a large.

Comment by Linda — July 23, 2010 @ 8:38 am

New guess: 16.1% (although the change is because of the new info)

Find it hard to believe your BF is higher than the numbers guessed.

Comment by Niel — July 23, 2010 @ 8:41 am

I want to change my guess to 17.65% Still a medium . . .
