Online BF% test

[Friend]

Hey guys i was hoping some of you that know your current BF% could check this site out and let me know how accurate it is. It's an online BF% calculater using waist, wrist, forearm etc measurements along with current age height and weight.

It said i am at 15% but i feel a bit more than this, anyone willing to give it a go and share their results and how accurate they are to capiler tests.

Gives me 18%, calipers came out 19% so not far off but i'd be interested to hear what others think of it

This test came to 17.2% and i'd been measured today at 17.5% with electronic readers. So not bad!

thats great. elec. readers is the one where you hold this thing in front of you with your arms extended out, right?

Mine came out at 13% which is about right..

You have 8.4% body fat.

On the site it's written that the test isn't accurate for fit people: they can have 5% less than the test result (13-8,4=4,6). For bbuilders plicometre is the best.

I was at the doctor today, while i was there i thought i'd get my BF% done. 14.8% pretty close to the online calculators estimate.

[bass]

haha, it says i have 10.3%, not even close LOL, but i love the calculator though!

[johnq]

mine said 6.3% am double that easy

[ninesecz]

Yeh it said I was 8.3 and I was very happy but We all know that is not the case!

That's right mate.

For some reason, this one has always been very accurate for me.

elec readers are a good measure but not accurate and depends on time of day and can change considerably for bodybuilders ans athelets due to changing amounts of water and tissue density in the body

You have 9.5% body fat. It's about 1% off last checked was 10.2 and that was about 1.5 months ago and i've been bulking pretty hard (clean though)
