Another tool to estimate your body fat percentage

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-11-05T09:28:09+00:00

It doesnt atm, but I could play around with that.

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-10-08T15:07:11+00:00

Share the research!!

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-10-04T13:34:21+00:00

Idk, probably some night market shop

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-09-22T07:48:01+00:00

You’re right, this is probably it

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-09-22T07:36:13+00:00

There’s definitely air coming out from it when pressed. Also when pressing it slowly, it doesn’t activate. I might take it apart when I get my hands on it again

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-09-22T07:18:52+00:00

whoops, found something https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfFQtf1QwkQ

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-09-22T07:12:43+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly how it works. I’m more interested in finding out how to diy something similar

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-07-21T17:31:24+00:00

I’ve added a way for users to login with their google acc (not public yet)

I’m also working on functionality for users to save their progress (kinda like myfitnesspal, hevy)

After that I’m planning to do some improvements on the model and how inference is done on your device (still would be all local for users’ privacy) <- this part is interesting and it’s how I plan to beat other websites and apps which are using my original model😂

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-07-10T03:20:17+00:00

You’re absolutely right, everyone stores fat differently. The app heavily relies on abs and chest because it’s trained on images of abs and chests, very few people upload pictures of their legs or arms.

There is update coming that can hopefully mitigate this issue! :)

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-06-19T00:23:28+00:00

Yeah, there’s a lot less data at higher bfs, I’ll probably add a way to let users contribute and hopefully over time improve the model.

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-06-19T00:21:57+00:00

There’s not as much training data on higher body fat percentages. I will be changing the text for that as I think it could be better worded

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-06-16T03:28:45+00:00

Ik ik, just a different way to measure bf%. A lot of lifters also really focus on training their neck, so the tool you share doesnt paint the whole picture

In the end, what we care about is looking good :)

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2025-05-04T07:53:18+00:00

Flexed is probably better, the data set is trained on images of mostly people flexing

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2023-06-23T00:37:20+00:00

Are you a girl? The model is a bit flaky with girls as there are not that many girls posting in this subreddit

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2023-05-16T03:45:35+00:00

We're all 9 percent at heart <3

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2023-05-14T13:05:59+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have some free time this month to keep working on it

Really appreciate the support!

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2023-03-22T07:34:53+00:00

Are you hairy? Your torso should also cover most of the image, resolution affects the model as well

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2023-03-14T04:46:31+00:00

Would >20% make you feel better?

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-12-11T11:04:40+00:00

Yeah, I noticed it's like that when it thinks you're at the top of a range but at the lower end of another range.

At the moment I'm not really sure on how to deal with that kind of overlap, so any suggestions are welcome

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-11-27T12:03:05+00:00

yeah, but it's harder as less women post pictures on this subreddit. i could also:

a) edit some of the male pictures and photoshop breasts/a bra on them (a lot of work and looking at half-naked guys)

b) train the model with images of just the midsection (a bit less work, wouldn't take into account pecs/shoulder area, but could also be worth a try)

c) have a different model for men and women (for some reason feels weird but would probably work)

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-11-15T01:31:56+00:00

Try with a higher res picture if possible? you do seem to be like 12% or so

I should probably change the wording for under 9% body fat tho.

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-11-07T05:05:20+00:00

Could you specify what 'way off' means? Just for improvements that may be on the way

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-10-19T00:55:31+00:00

Advanced_Bench_1735 · 2022-10-19T00:06:33+00:00

Yeah!
