    ^^Agreed to some extent.

    10% bf isn't the same on any two physiques.. the differentiation is different accross somatotypes as well.

    Generically i'd say that at 16 weeks out you should be around 10%.. 12% max.

    figure roughly that if you diet correctly & do cardio the way you should for contest prep...you can lose between .5% -1% bodfat per week...so...if you want to be 5% bf for the contest...well.....you do the math depending on what you are at 16 weeks out.

    Right now I'm around 19 with 22 weeks out. That is using a hand held device.
    I was told that it's going to measure me high becuase their not made for bb.
    Is that true?

    those handheld things are useless. they are completely inaccurate (i read at 13% yet i have a six pack and lower ab veins)
