SS 055 - The Best Methods for Measuring Body Composition
What's the best method to measure body composition for fat loss??? Brandon and Grant tackle the above question from listener Shaun who is in search of a (preferably free) method for measuring body comp to maintain motivation. Brandon breaks down the differences between DEXA scans, hydrostatic body fat testing, and bioelectrical impedance. Finally, Brandon reveals a method of assessing body composition and fat loss progress that's completely free. Amongst all of the science, Grant shares his fear of the mirror, and completely unrelated, Brandon talks about his recent encounter with a bear while in his undies. After bear encounters, mirror phobias, and bioelectrical impedance, Grant shares his newfound knowledge of Bainbridge Organic Distillers Wheat Whiskey. bainbridgedistillers [1:13] The bear is here [3:50] Listener question from Shaun [5:17] The gold standard: DEXA scan [6:14] The dunk tank (hydrostatic) [8:29] Bioelectrical impedance [9:55] Hard, not hard [12:10] How often to check body comp [13:20] The free option [14:41] Grant vs the mirror [17:08] How Brandon monitors [18:18] Measuring progress [20:33] Bainbridge Organic Distillers Wheat Whiskey
