Weight Lose Programs

Bringing up the rear “weight” as such does not give you any real information. If you are trying to lose stout then your weight is not the most vital factor at all. The goal of most people is to lose weight but the real goal should be bringing up the rear stout and gaining muscle. The only way how you can really know if you are bringing up the rear stout is to determine your stout to muscle ratio.

Most bodybuilders and fitness models know that muscle is the secret to bringing up the rear stout. Muscle is like a furnace that burns calories. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn. So not only does muscle look excellent, it also burns a lot of calories. It is simple to lose weight but very hard to lose stout while keeping the muscle.

If you want to be accurate then you have to forget about Height & weight charts and Body Mass Pointer also because they don´t take your body stout into account. To get a real indicator of your current health you have to rate your body stout. If you know your body stout then you also know your stout to muscle ratio. and that is what we want to know.

There are many different methods how to rate body stout: Undersea Weighing (Hydrostatic), Bio- Electric Impedance Analysis, BIA Body Stout Scales and hand grip tests, Infrared, Circumference, Anthropometric and skin-fold measurements. The best way and also a cheap way to rate your body stout is using the skin-fold measuring method. You can do it yourself as well in your own home.

It is excellent to know your body stout number but by itself it is not very useful. The goal is to separate your total weight into pounds of stout and pounds of muscle.

Here is an model:

The body-weight is 175 pounds

The stout percentage is 21% (0.21)

Then you multiply the body-weight with the stout percentage:

175 * 0.21= 36.75 pounds of stout.

If you subtract pounds of stout from the total weight you get:

175 – 36.75= 138.25 pounds of lean body mass

You can also find out what your ideal weight is.The formula is: Lean mass divided by 1 – ideal body stout percentage. Lets use this model again.

175 pounds

stout percentage is 21%

36.75 pounds of stout

138.25 pounds of lean body mass

ideal body stout percentage is 14% (1 – 0.14= 0.86)

Using this formula we get:

138.25 : 0.86= 160.75 pounds

So the ideal weight with 14% of body stout would be 160.75 pounds. If you use this method you will get a much more feed back and you can also make changes according to your results.
