    Question ? on bodyfat

    I tried ones of those scales that measure body fat and it said 25%!!!
    When I tell people, they say no way. I have a friend that is 6', works out, got down to 165 lbs, looked ripped & the %$%^$ scale said 15%!!!

    Could someone please tell me what 5, 10, 15, 20% look like???

    those scales can give you a different bf% after drinking a glass of water, very unreliable, don't use them calipers are the cheapest accurate way to go, my gym does it for free

    I have found a caliper test that works on 9 points and that seems much more accurate. I think the calculator in this site leaves alot to chance. St82hellnback email me if you would like a copy.

    I'm no expert by any means, but from what I have learned, been told, and experienced...There is no way to give you and accurate picture of what 5,10,15,20% bf looks like since every person is going to look different. One of the guys on this forum, broncojosh says he is at 14.8% bf and he looks awsome. Other guys say they are at 12% and don't look as good. To much difference in us crazy humans to say "this is what you will/should look like at "X" % bf. Sorry, I know its not what you wanted to hear. Hang in there!
