Equation for bodyfat?

[The Shadow]

Miss24K - can you ask them to check your BF like that? The trainer I see only tests in 3 places. I would like to be pinched all over!

LOL

....the three site is very reliable......the more areas - the more room for ewrror on each measurement....

Really the trainer told me, that the more places they pinch, the more accurate, I don't doubt you, cause he's an idiot along with all the other trainers at the gym, it would be great if they could have at least 1 capable person there. Damn!

ok - honestly.....if you can be consistent - the more sites the better......but you run into a situation where more sites = more chances for error......


LOL




yeah - being a "trainer" or "certified" for that matter means ziltch these days

hmmm in my case I think it's the more sites taken the more error, because I found out what my bodyfat is with the measurements he took and it isn't pretty nor do I think it's accurate.

I have a friend that is a trainer and has checked many people's bodyfat and she laughed at the sites he took....

I'm slightly annoyed today.

You look like you have low BF...... they must have made a mistake. What did they say you where? (you don't have to answer if you don't want to)

He said 24% Which can't be right!!! The last time I had it measured it was at 17% (different person measured) and that was last month.
