New and hoping to learn even more
So I just got here, though I’ve sort of known about it here for a while (since I read bodybuilding.com ALOT) I am hoping to learn some more things about transforming myself in the way that I want and have really been inspired by a couple of my friends over at Sparkpeople.com who have entered and placed in Figure competitions recently….This seemed like a good place to come to gain knowledge…and knowledge is key!
I’m uncertain about some of the Q & A stuff here so I will leave the answers blank until I know them or my answer doesn’t fit in with the options sooo I will leave those blank too.
I just tested my BF today w/ a caliper 7 point fold and it came up with 14.5…not sure I buy it, but it sounds more probable than the 12.3% that I get with the 3 point fold test LOL….whatever my actual is, I am losing fat and building muscle and that % is going down. 
I"ll post more later.

That’s a very athletic level for a woman. 14% for women is like 9% for guys because women hold more fat throughout the body but it doesn’t show. I believe in never abandoning the pursuit of lean tissue gain and focusing primarily on cardio. They should be tackled simultaneously, and if you lift hard enough it’s like cardio anyway.

Great job with the bodyfat, very impressive!!! I find that it’s so tough to get an accurate test done, but if you have the same person do the test the same way and you see it going down, then you know you’re doing well.
