    Body Fat Calipers

    Which body fat calipers out there are the best? I have a body fat scale but it does not seem to be accurate or consistent.

    What is the best device to buy to measure body fat?

    The best way to measure bodyfat would be with a hydrostatic set up if you can find one and it isn't rediculously expensive to use.
    As far as which calipers, they're all pretty much the same idea. The pair that I use were just a cheap set that I got from a musclemag store for about 20-30 bucks and it works fine.l

    that site is pretty cool, they said that 15% for men is average, is that correct>? I dont agree that it should be average.

    It shouldn't be average but I think it probably is for the vast majority of Americans who don't exercise on a regular basis (if at all).

    I was once a fatted calf walking with the masses, but now I look at them and try to save every last chubby kid at the gym doing arm curls instead of cardio.
    I think Its my calling
