Not sure if this is the correct forum to place this but this seems to be the place where everone comes for BF estimates. I remember reading an article from Negrita Jayde about a dozen years ago and found a synopsis of the piece here. (If anyone has the whole article feel free to PM me with it).
This will be a real eye opener for some.

physical pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside... The pain of quiting will lasts forever!!

I was hoping someone might sticky it as well but only the vets know if it's worthy.

You think its accurate because according to that I would also be lower than I thought too.

It's all subjective if you are doing a visual comparison to yourself. It just gives you a rough idea as to what to look for. Next time someone throws around a 3% or 5% number it lets you know just how lean that actually is. I was posting on Ruhls thread a few days ago when he stated he wanted to come in at 3% and was telling him just how rare that truly is and that coming in the 5-6% range will actually make you one of the leaner guys at most local and state level contests.

lol that puts me in the hard phase lol... better then full house i guess right??
AR-Hall of Famer ~Diet Guru~
The bodyfat percentages there are understated.
The article's pegged guys at a lower percentage than they actually are IMO.

I wish I could find the original article, it was rather lengthy and gave very detailed description of what is visible to the eye at certain bodyfat percentages. It was in Flex magazine I believe and had to have been written in the 90's.
AR-Hall of Famer ~Diet Guru~
Oh no... not Flex.
No wonder it's inaccurate.
9/11/2001~343 Never Forget!~E-HOF~RETIRED
Let me be more precise, it was reprinted in Flex as an exerpt from Negrita Jaydes book. I cant remember for sure but I dont think pictures were included in the original text.

it give a rough idea, you never know where you are till you have some sorta out line... this has a detailed out line... and is at least fairly accurate or very accurate... either way it is a place to generally gauge your self...
Senior Member
I think its fairly accurate. Maybe showing a little lower than is accurate, but not much.
STICKY PLEASE!!!!
Knowledgeable Member
I guess its an ok gauge but I`m still doubtfull on the accuracy according to that I would have been down to 11% or so which I dont think I was. Still good for ball parking I guess.
Associate Member
makes me like 14 -_-
Member
i actually thought that the guys in the link would be lower, like some of the 10% guys i would have thought were like 6 or 7.

If thats what 7-9% look like than my readings were accurate on my bf% the other day.
Senior Member
I thought I was in the 5-7% range but I guess according to that article Im a full house...

Nice one! ...and good article for a starting reference point. Even if you do a caliper reading your results are subject to discussion. Depends on who does it and how they do it... ect. ect.
Nice post
