IF someone knows there bodyfat% then shouldnt you be able to get a rough estimate of how much muscle you carry? Based on height and body fat % you should be able to figure it out.

Say someone is 160 at 5"6 and 15% body fat. So you take .15 x 160 which is 24 so 160-24 is 136. Then the average weight of someones normal weight for everything else but muscle(organs skin blood) at 5"6 you would subtract. Problem is I cant find anywhere that gives a normal weight of someone at 5"6 not counting muscle and fat.

I realize this would be better on a bodybuilding forum but I really dont want to create an account and whatnot.

If anyone has any idea how to help then let me know. Thanks! Be back after work to check.

remove your muscles and put them on a scale.

No it's easier to weigh yourself first, then cut them off and re weight yourself and subtract the diff.

You probably want to be standing on the scale when you cut them off since moving after may be a little difficult.

Actually if you consider the brain a muscle then the math part may be hard.

Do a DEXA.

Find someone of comparable base weight and build, remove all of their muscles, and then weigh them.

Skin is like 4 pound or something isn't it?
Bones should be able to look up
blood
organs

So your weight = Z Muscle weight = X
Z - body fat - skin - bones - blood - organs - <approx waste product> = X

Missing something?

I don’t have a lot of body fat nor muscle. I do a lot of cardio but no weight training. So I am losing fat without gaining a lot of muscle mass. It’s mostly to keep my “Femboy Body”.
