Help estimate my BF %

**BennyLom** · 01-07-2010, 07:26 AM

Hi guys,
My digital fat loss monitor says I'm around 12%, but I'd take that with a grain of salt. I have never cycled.

I'd say 11-12%.

tough to say without leg pics and it would be easier if you were relaxed

**BennyLom** · 01-09-2010, 12:45 AM

12 is a pretty accurate geuss

i believe there is a website where you measure your wrists, waist and hips to find body % i dont know how accurate it is. But i heard it is pretty accurate. I cant remember the site

Look up the Army test. You measure your neck and your waist and it gives you an estimate. The best test is the water test..........

I would not recomend looking up the Army test. However if you want it here you go http://550cord.com/products/info.asp?ProductID=7 just click the body fat tab and add it up.

I'm in the army and can personally say it is way off. Taped 23% 2 years ago, went to the nutritionist who did pinch tests to 16%. May very from person to person though.
