Bf%

[yodaddy]

i kno goign to a doctor or trainer is the best way to get your BF% but i was wondering if there is any other ways to get an accurate reading thanks holla

you could buy a caliper or a impedance scale. But to use the first properly you need to know exactly how to and I dont trust the impedance scales

You can make body measurements and google body fat calculators, these will produce approximations of your body fat. They are just approximations, but better than nothing.

i absolutely agree with the BIA sucking (bodyfat impedance analysis) kept showing 23% bf than i figured out it was actually around 12/13% i just got the calipers off ebay for 10 bucks with shipping and suppose to be real accurate. bia i believe is only accurate when you drop some serious cash for a good make.

I use the calipers also, but only to measure progress for they seem to be pretty consistant if nothing else.

yeah neva I think the most important thing with doing caliper test it to se that the bodyfat is going down. Not so much what the exact bodyfat level is.

bojang I remember first time I used a impedance scale. Me and my buddy tried it. I was chubby and he was ripped to shreds with solid abs. It said I had 18% bodyfat and claimed he had 23%
