bf question

[Sfla80]

Ok, starting a new training program tomorrow, so went to the gym to get my bf calculated. So that i have an idea on how the new program works for me.

I thought they were going to do a real test but instead they used the electronic device. Type in your age, weight, height. Hold with a firm grip in front of you and then it puts out your bf number.

I know obvisously this isnt accuarte, because it told me 8%. I think im 12-13%. How far off are these things? Or does anyone even know the device i am talking about.

It's usually pretty far off. I am Bout 11% and it tells me I'm 7.2%. When I was at about 9% it told me I was at 4.8% lol. I was like damn if I were to comp prep this thing would prolly say 0%. Seems to be 4-5% off atleast for me. This is in three seperate handhelds btw. They were all coming up with same results.

Those devices are terribly inaccurate. Post a pic and someone here will tell you your bf.

Its called a bio impedence test. It had me 22% when I was 3 weeks out from my last contest.

wow, ok so they arent worth a damn then. I did post not to long ago in meembers pics. Ill take some new ones.

When i post a pic for you guys to guess, is it better to flex or not? i see most flexing everytime they post, but i just stood for mine. no posing or anything.?
