So you’re telling me those 32s I got some Costco yesterday are not rly 32s..? Way to take the wind out of my sail

take your measurements at the naval so that you can be consistent with the measurement.

Mine is 36.

6’ 205
34 waist in jeans, sometimes 33

I don’t look fat. Last time I did the navy calculator i think I got 17% bf.

I don’t understand how people gain strength (in their 40s) while holding onto a true 32/33” waist.

I don't ever see me getting to Godlike on incline or chin ups. Definitely not chin ups My best is a sloppy 40%. Standing press is the only one I think I could get Godlike in. Only need another 7.5 lbs.
