This, the numbers on the calipers are only a means to track progress. Some time I use them most of the time, not.

Yes I'm not disagreeing with you guys, this is why I said "amount of fat you carry". What I disagree with is guys who really have (or say they have) no interest in how fat they are. All in the name of, apparent, strength goals.

That attitude inevitably does come around to bite them in the ass.

Being a recovered ultra-skinny person, I prefer to carry a little body fat.
