you can go to a local gym, they should have a couple of different methods for checking bodyfat.

There are also many guys on here who can guestimate your bodyfat by using a few pictures, although it's not 100%, but no test is the same.

Post some pics like Jfew44 says or go on ebay buy a caliper 5 bucks or just hit the gym up and have some 1 measure you there.

You need more than calipers. I see one guy added the measurements and divided them by the numbers of sites calipered and figured that was his %. I promise I will do a step by step 9 site with pics and formulas one day soon.

I use an electronic monitor. Some say they aren't accurate, but mine is at least consistent in its readings, so I can tell if i'm gaining or losing.

man, that would be awesome! Once this is done, I would like to show most of the trainers at the gym how to accurately measure bodyfat...most of them are clueless!
