A lot of people throw out their bf percentages on a regular basis and im just curious to see how everyone comes up with their own bf ratio whether it be with calipers, measuring extremities, tank, etc. Also, what does everyone think is the most accurate way to come up with this golden figure. Food for thought.........
imersion is the best (in water tank) but is expensive and hard to find. calipers are the best, you just need to learn how to use them accuratly, and there really is no formula that can tell you what your actual percentage is...
We have two hot ass female fitness instructors at our gym...*deep thought*........Ohh and they usually use calipers, they are both from UGA!!! GO DAWGS!!!

-The Body Scan one will make you feel terrible when you see the reading
-I find the Electrostatic ones to be crap
-I like the Digital calipers the best
I've had my BF % measured a bunch of times so I can usually make a basic assumption of where I'm at.
I imagine that a lot of people who say they are 10 - 12 % would be shocked to learn their true bf %.
By the way, the electrostatic ones are the worst (other than some kid who doesn't know how to read the calipers). I've had the electro scale say I was 24% when I had dieted down and had a full set of abs and obliques. I've had it say 8 % when I knew I was closer to 15%. It jsut seems useless to me.

I know, that's what I meant. It tells you EXACTLY what your bf is. Most competitiors would be shocked to find out there bf% with this method.
You should be able to get it done a lot cheaper. Check with the University in your area if it has an extensive physical science or medical department. Some offer it as low as $10. But, I've also seen it cost from $25 up to $60. I haven't seen it at $100 before, but I haven't looked at private clinics.
