Adam Peaty did what no man had done before him: he swam the 100 m breaststroke in under 57 seconds. He called the goal "Project 56", and his 56.88 at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju set a world record that went unbeaten for years. He won Olympic gold over the distance in Rio in 2016 and again in Tokyo, where he added a relay gold, and in Paris in 2024 a shared silver made him the first man to win three Olympic medals in the event.
At 193 cm and 86 kg he has the long levers swimmers prize, on a frame broad enough to drive breaststroke, the stroke that leans hardest on the legs. Body fat of about 17% is well above what a track sprinter would carry, but swimmers typically run higher than land athletes: in the water, the extra weight is supported rather than carried.

A visual estimation of the areas of your body with a higher likelihood of containing more fat than others -- not a measurement. This feature is experimental; treat the heatmap as an indication, not a clinical finding. Accuracy is best at the extremes of body-fat percentage, weaker in the middle, and atypical body shapes (athletic builds, pregnancy, etc.) may not be modelled well.
| Metric | Value vs reference | Reference | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +0.0° | 0° = vertical (frontal knees-to-head axis) | natural — upright |
| Head forward offset?Accurate to about ±1-2 cm in a single scan -- camera tilt and head rotation (looking up / down / sideways) are the main confounders. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, look straight ahead and keep the camera level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0 = ear in line with the spine axis (no forward head) | — |
| Forward/back lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0° = vertical (side knees-to-head axis) | — |
| Shoulder tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +1.6° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
| Hip tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -0.4° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |

BodyWHAT uses its own proprietary, neural-network-based technology to estimate your body-fat percentage and other body-composition metrics directly from your photos. These in-house models are combined with established anthropometric methods; the published methods and reference ranges below inform and calibrate those estimates.
BodyWHAT's figures are estimates for general fitness and education — not medical advice or a diagnosis. They draw on established methods and published reference ranges:
