What kind of test is it? I am assuming it's not skinfold or hydrostatic weighing. I hope it's not electrical impedence. What kind is it and I can tell you if you are getting ripped off or not.

wsup prtybjason,

Sounds like electrical impedence, which in my opinion is shit. Charging $75 for that is like charging $25 for a skinfold caliber test. In fact the skinfold might be more accurate. It has a +- 4% accuracy. Electrical can change by just drinking a glass of water. You can do skinfold or hydrostatic weighing. You can check a local university or hospital for hydrostatic. You may have luck there. Skinfold can be done at just about any gym.

no problem man. The one that I did had a printout that told the %bf, how much that part of you weighed, and how much nonbodyfat weight you had. You can do it all by calculator. And again, not accurate. glad I could help.

If you're gonna have a bioelectical impedance reading done and want the most accurate reading do the following.
1. 3 hour food fast
2. Mid day test noon to 1:00
3. Drink a boatload of water so you're fully hydrated
4. Piss before the test
You'll get a pretty good reading, as long as the equipment is not a home model. We have two different types one Tanita commercial and one from Bioanalogics which requires a bit more computer input.
