1The numbers in this column were taken over 3 days and averaged to give a more accurate reading, as body weight can fluctuate greatly 2Average body fat % is the average of the numbers I get from IFCalculator (18%), Skinfold (15.7%, using suprailliac site only) and Naval Research Method (17.24%). 3This number seems low to me, but I attained it using the same methods that I started the cycle with. For the sake of consistency, I am using this number.
