Hey Everyone, I need someone that knows his body fat to test the accuracy of the formula. It should only be of by a few tenths of a point. I got out of a magazine.
Thank You
Hydrostatic weighing for body fat%
Multiply your weight (in the nude) by 1.082
Example: if you weigh 200,
(200) X (1.082) =216.40
Add 94.42
Example: 216.40 + 94.42 = 310.82
*** (Weight factor) ***
Your waist measurement (at navel) X 4.150
Example: if your waist is 34”
(34) X (4.15) = 141.1
*** (Waist factor)***
Weight Factor – Waist Factor
Example 310.82 – 141.1 = 169.72
(169.72 is your lean body mass)
Your Actual weight – Lean Body Mass
Example: 200 – 169.72 = 30.28
(30.28 is your body fat)
(Body Fat/ Actual Weight) X (100)
Example: (30.28/ 200) X (100) = 15.14%
Your Body Fat would be 15.14%
