Fat Pad

[Trisquel]

Anybody know what the average fat pad is? What does the FP range in the male population? Is FP solely a functionof fitness? If possible, please include sources with any answers.

general impression from browsing this forum is that most clock in at around 0.5-1". Lowest I've seen posted is .25. Mine is a depressing 1.6 (but then I have a few pounds in reserve in case I get stuck in an elevator for 3 months or whatever). Can't give you any sources, but the general theory here - which also sounds very reasonable - is that FP is a function of body fat % and genetics.

^ I agree with those numbers.... .5-1 being typical

I could loose 10 pounds and my fat pad is 1 3/8 inches. Down from almost 2".

I dont see this working be more specific. 10 pounds equal 2 inches of fat pad?? I thought 20 pounds was a little less than an inch.. ( friends personal experience).. I really dont know if this is accurate but im doing this proyect as well im right about 15 to 20 pounds over my actual desired weight

It depends for each person. Each body deposits fat in different areas around the body. In terms of fatpad reduction, a 20 pound loss might be effective for one person, but completely ineffective for another.

I just made a statement. I did not give advise.

Btw losing 30 pounds moved my fatmpad from 1 3/4 to the 1 3/8 as of today.

I would say between 0.5 and 1 inch Is the range where most fat pads will fit. I am a skinny guy and I am at about 0.5 inch fat pad.

Yea i understand. I didnt say you were wrong but maybe we should have used numbers like BFP since all bodies are different.
now i dont know how to measure fat pad maybe a tutorial woild be nice .
since everytime i try to measure that i end up with different numbers because of the skin reverse volcano effect

Anyone ever heard of having liposuction on your fat pad? Just askin'.

We measue bpel here mostly because accurate fatpad measures are difficult. Some slimm guys have a lot of fatpad some fat guys have little .
Yes I have heard of pubic lipo.
