what is your lean muscle mass?? (women)


Quote  |  Reply
does anyone here know their lean muscle mass?

i'm 5'5 ~140lbs and 17 years old.  i've used body fat calculators on the internet, and i've gotten between 104 and 110 lbs of lean muscle (which puts my body fat between about 20 and 25% or something).  i was wondering if this was average..above average..below average?

i know that these body fat calculators can be inaccurate.  the one that gave me 110lbs took note of my thighs and calves but not my waist (i'm very much pear-shaped..~38in hips 23in thighs and 15in calves and rather small on top--32 inch bust)  while the one that gave me 104 didn't, so i just say that i'm within that range.

well!  just wondering.  any information would be very much appreciated. :D

I got all of my calculations done at a gym.... which I suggest you do as well for an accurate answer....

I am 5'4, 144 lbs, 23 yrs old, 106.6 lean mm and 37.4 fat, 26% body fat. The least amount of lbs in fat I can have is around 15lbs....

I don't remember my measurements but they're not good.... not where I want them to be anyways.... thus why I joined a gym....

I got a personal trainer for 5 hours because I had never been to a gym before(only 1 hour done so far) and I attend some of the group classes...

Everyone there has been really encouraging and nice and I'm glad I made the decision to go to a gym.... I would recommend it to anyone.....

I hope I've helped a little

i'm making an appointment at my doctor's asap to get my bodyfat percentage tested. i have a digital scale that tells me the number but i'm honestly not so sure how accurate it is, but it says 20.9% so i'm not complaining, but i work out alot so it could even be 19%.

i guess i'll see when i go to the doctors.

Your body fat is right on.  You should be between 21-26% body fat for a healthy weight.  I an 5'7" and weigh 148lbs.  My body fat percentage is 21%.  I am lifting a lot of weights, doing cardio, and drinking protein shakes 2 times a day.  My goal is to be around 18%.  Weight goal about 135...
