Wrist And Waist Circumference, Body Fat
Q: Q 82 & 83: My wrist is around 7.25-7.5 inches.I am 6 feet tall. Even the trainer at my gym was surprised that I weighed 200. My waist is 37 inches but my belly is pretty flat.I know people that have more stomach fat than me who's waists are only 34 inches.
A: Yeah, that's an above-average wrist circumference which is a pretty good indicator of thick bones. The 37 inch waist may or may not be an indicator of 19% body fat since you may also have wide hips plus you're saying you don't have much stomach fat. It's kind of tough to make a good estimate over the net, but you're probably somewhere in 15-19% body fat range, which is average. What you have going for you is big bones which are often an indicator of being able to put on muscle easily and you also don't have too much belly fat which makes the flat stomach look easier to achieve. So you should have pretty good success with fat loss/muscle gain using good weight training and diet programs.
