What are some fast ways toincrease my muscle to fatratio - too high body fatpercentage?

Lots of weightlifting. Join a proper gym with a proper trainer, and set upa free weights routine. Be sure to eat 1 gram protein per pound bodyweight, distributed through 5-6 meals a day. One of these meals should be a post-workout protein shake, for when you're done weightlifting.

How do weight scales with bodyfat percentage calculationwork?
Hello, I am in a competetion where the total of weight percentage loss and fat percentage loss determines the winner. Besides diet and exercise, is there anything specific I can do on the final days of the competetion to squeeze out an extra 0.5% in body fat percentage by tricking the scale? For example, if I drink a gallon of water before the weigh-in that will add pounds but could it decrease body fat percentage? The scale for body fat % is measured in increments by 0.5%, so just a slight variation can cause it to go from 10.0 to 9.5% for example. That small of a difference can be huge on the final tally.
Most of the body fat scales I've seen use electrical impedance to measure body content. I don't know how to fool the scale, but the water theory sounds like it could work. Only thing is that if you push it too much, you risk water toxicity.
