Dexa Scan Review: Detailed Review of Report. Body Fat % Test, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass

what is up it's the figure Hunter this is the second review being released at the same time in a four-part review series on some physiological changes that I have had or undergone the dexa scan and how it has helped me to evaluate those changes in a Zozo fit suit um you know coming out in the next couple days along with some of the diet changes actually went through a video just specifically on that so what this video is itself alongside the other one released at the exact same time is that this is the dexa scan technician's full comprehensive overview of the entire dexa scan report so you can see the full-on details of what a dexa scan will entail if you are new to the channel I try to do three things one is test devices for the purpose of CrossFit tracking or high-intensity interval training but more specifically looking at wellness and recovery and training load over time two I try to take an objective and comparison review to be able to like test the device and if it says it has a feature I don't want to just tell you what that feature is but I want to compare that feature to if it's worth its you know weight and gold compared to other features that are like it on the market and three these videos are just no frills there's nothing fancy you know fancy background soundtrack so I'm really trying to focus on the quality of the content being relayed so in this video today again part of a four-part series so two coming out today one is like the overview of the Dex sort of a quick sort of like content summary of what a dexa scan is the second video is this one which is just the technicians report he's been doing it for a long time of the full dexas scan report that's what this video is we're going to dive into it in a second three is going to be like the zoofit followup using zoofit as a monthly tracker of physiological process and four is the diet changes that I personally did diet and exercise fitness health overall changes in order to you know I basically have been able to see 8 and a 12 pounds of fat loss 2 and a half pounds of or 2.1 pounds of muscle gain as well as a bone density increase across the last two months so it's pretty uh dramatic changes in all positive so with that let's dive into the technician's comprehensive explanation of a full dexan dexa scan report all right so as you can see with their followup here um uh again if you remember with the body fat percentages the one on this page is with out the skeleton so uh again uh this is what we think is probably more accurate in terms of risk to your health um so again we'll have your official one here but yeah we always just want to remind people that because they'll see it it's actually going to be a little bit lower than that um you can see here looking at the images it's it's kind of hard on this one that's why I like the next uh graphic image we show you it's a little bit better but you can see that some of these yellows especially on the hips uh is starting to disappear so that's a good indication of fat uh dropping off and that's the big thing what was the big combination change so overall the machine saw a 6.4 lb loss and in that 6.4 lb loss it saw an 8.5 lb loss of pure fat it saw a 2.1 PB increase in lean tissue and so that is absolutely what we love to see we actually uh jokingly refer to that as the V for victory because you get this uh V shape right here um but that is excellent we love it when people have it dialed in because now again uh not only are you losing the fat you're putting on the muscle but you really have that diet kind of dialed in in terms of of maximizing your effort um so love to see that information there um just you know as a follow-up too I'll remind you you know I'm sure you know you're working hard with your proteins but again uh our uh recommendation for protein would be adding your lean mass to your bone mineral content um so if you're not doing that you can kind of compare it and see how it works out with what you're doing right now yes I'm doing 175 so oh yeah oh yes you're much more than that so that's perfect love to see that um the first page that we have here uh analysis change you see that your body fat percentage dropped from 17.5 to 13.5% uh that is great it's a matter of fact now when we look at our Stiles and just as a refresher your Stiles are in age sex and ethnic specific ranking um it now shows you that your body fat percentage is higher than 0% of your peers so on average uh for your age sex and ethnicity you have the lowest body fat percentage on average of with your peer groups so love to see that your 2.9 standard deviations below average which is great you want to be an outlier on this one um so you're doing wonderful there your uh interesting enough your limbs lean mass index uh this is the portion of your BMI that is arm and leg muscle tissue uh you'll also see it referred to as appendicular lean mass index okay muscle tissue and so yep and interesting enough we did see it looks like a tiny drop here um even though you saw an overall lean increase uh you went from 10.48 to 10.37 so just one/ tenth of a kilogram per meter squared or 1 10 of a BMI Point um still you're way uh above your uh percentage wise your peers 95% 1.6 standard deviation Aver or your 1.6 standard Dev standard deviations yeah and then with the uh again this ratio really should say portion of generally for men that are not doing like longdistance running high-end cardio and no weightlifting uh experts like to see this number over about 8.5 for men so like I said you're doing phenomenally well on that um so again a tenth loss there so again it must be more in the trunp that we see the inrease and we'll take a look in just a second um again bone mineral content that should roughly stay about the same and it does 3,400 G and then your bone mineral density uh we're going to take another look at this on another page because again it's so important and we'll see that through your process here you actually uh you actually gained eight uh 8/10 of a percent increase in your overall bone density um so that's actually kind of a good move because what happens usually when we see people lose weight you're not carrying around a specific amount of weight anymore and remember one of the things that helps bone density out is loadbearing exercises so the fact that you increased bone density while losing weight again uh just shows that you're working out and uh weight training really paying off again when we look at your spine we see your spine at 1345 the legs at 1.51 five um again remember this is a screening so it's not guaranteed and uh you know these are just rough correlation numbers I used from when I used to do bone density scans we tried to find something that was a good set point for people so that we would know that hey uh you know maybe you need to talk to your doctor or or not but at 1.3 that's well above the 1.15 I like to see and then for the legs over the 1.2 and sometimes like I said you probably won't find that out in literature this was just from research that we kind of did inhouse um when we used to do bone density scans uh however like I said our medical director retired so we just do the body composition now um looking at the uh skeleton again no no nothing change shouldn't have uh the darker the bone on here the the more dense it is but the good thing is if we look here you can see that your body fat percentage map has almost no red there's just one little spec there that's just probably where we moved over a little bit um so again all the body fat percentages are staying well in that green area which means under 25% a little bit of yellows which are 25 to 60 um but again uh again doing excellent there doing very very good like I said that is excellent uh when we look at our adapost page when we look at the fat uh we're going to see here that uh you drop down and on this one page the new data is on the bottom um on this one we see you went from 33.6 to 25.1 lbs of pure fat um so that's every fat cell in your body that we saw uh but again as always we're always interested in where the adapost or Android fat is because that's the most dangerous and so the two the two that we have here on followup again the Android to gynoid or waste to hit body fat percentage ratio you actually did very well for a man to begin with at 096 you've dropped it to 63 which is wonderful we like it for men to be under 0.95 uh so the fact that you're continuing to drop that is excellent I'll be honest with you 90% of the men that come through here can't get under one uh so the fact that you're doing that is excellent um and as a matter of fact you can see right now your waist is now at 10.7% body fat uh my guess is is that you're showing an AB too at that point uh so really really good to see that oh that's cool and then yeah usually we see it about starting at 14% so at 10 yeah that's great um the big thing that we're referencing on here is again metabolic disease risk so because again you're well under 0.95 um from this statistic it it definitely lowers metabolic uh disease risk now the interesting thing is we did see a slight bump in your visceral adapost tissue um again that's that dangerous fat that's in red here that's uh underneath your abdominal muscle directly surrounding your organs that is also metabolically active so again uh we don't want to see a lot there it only went up a tenth of a pound from 77 to 87 uh so the volume went from 22.5 to 25.5 here's the thing a lot of L of times people hit a set point and then they just kind of yo-yo back a little bit um the stat that we want to see you under for this one is 52 so you are well under what's considered a healthy metric so that's great um so again I'm not overly concerned about it you know if you get another skan in like you know six months year what have you if it continues to go up we'll maybe eyeball and see why but overall I'm not worried about that whatsoever and again that greatly uh means that you've reduce your risk for heart disease heart attack stroke diabetes high blood pressure and even certain forms of cancer uh so love to see that again one of the things I tell people to remember is this the 63 here that you see at your new waist uh to hip ratio and then now again we just look at the overall trunk versus legs uh we see that's dropped you went from uh the trunk having a 14% higher body fat percentage to interestingly enough a 14% lower body fat percentage than the legs uh so that is a significant change generally would like to see it at one or below um actual fat in the trunk that we see here uh again this is uh uh looking at the actual fat in a trunk versus the arms and legs uh we can see that you had 18% more actual fat last time this time you have 11% more fat in the arms and legs uh we like this under one so you're doing excellent as well as a matter of fact you can see both your sovs dropped uh significantly oh wow um so both of those doing very very well we love to see that again this is another number that a vast majority of men have a very difficult time getting below so that's excellent great um when we look at the actual BMI breakdown again BMI terrible tool by itself but uh when we break it down much more effective tool you were already at a healthy level last time at 4.89 but you've dropped the fat mass index of your BMI down to 3.65 I know it says ratio here again it really should say portion of um we'd love to see men between three and six so you are at a very healthy level of fat love to see that um lean tissue wise the fact that you raised your lean while dropping fat again significant not only showing that your exercise program is working but your is doed in and you notice here that again with the lean mass index also called ffmi or fat-free mass index um you'll notice that it went up 3/10 of a BMI point or 3/10 of a kilogram per meter squared um and we saw that the ls dropped 0.1 so that means you had a0 4% increase in the trunk um so most of the increase that we saw uh through this uh is in the trunk area so that's kind of interesting um you went from better than 92 to 94% of your peers generally over about 18 to 18.5 uh is what experts like to see uh males that work out at um and the fact that you're really above that you're nailing that so like I said everything's looking great there love to see it um last sheet that we have here again if you'll recall if you'll remember this is just a bigger breakdown of your body just remember the tissue body fat percentage without the skeleton the regional body fat percentage with the skeleton uh but what we notice on here is just your resting metabolic rate uh you can see it is now 18 52 and uh just last time when you were in uh your resting metabolic rate will have been at 1,833 so you can see how you've added just a little more muscle and so it's added a few more calories there for you um and remember our resting metabolic rate is the estimated amount of calories you need to consume to maintain lean tissue every 24 hours uh at rest so again this is kind of an end of the day number not a beginning of the day number uh or another way to look at it is is that this is what your body needs to sustain the lean tissue you have daily and so the more calories you burn the more you probably want to consume above that so that you make sure that your body is burning the uh fat not your lean tissue okay great so that's the breakdown there you have it that's the summary of the full dexa scan so make sure you watch all four videos you know there's the summary review of like what the Dexter scan is just more in Concepts and then in the next couple days there'll be the Zozo fit sort of using that as a monthly tracker a physi ological change as well as the diet changes that I personally Incorporated that helped me to see progress that I feel like really I feel good about the progress that I've made so that's the this is the comprehensive dexit scan report breakdown it's the figure Hunter thanks so much for watching
