How do you get your bodyfat tested?

[GearCowboy]

With Calibers, Submursion, or some other method? What is the most effective?

I look in the mirror. If I like what I see then I dont bother dropping any more fat.

However, if I do actually get it tested, I use calipers.

i go to the gym and they use calipers that are hooked to a computer. dont know the name but i think its pretty damn accurate. most military gyms have them/ well marines anyways

MRI-most accurate\most expensive
Submursion-very accurate\pain in the ass
Calipers-pretty accurate\cost effective\fast
Scales-?don't belive it.

For what is available to most of us is calipers, infrared, or electrical impedance.

Calipers are going to be the most accurate/ consistent in this group. The key is to make sure the same person takes your update tests and uses the SAME sights/locations

Impedance is going to vary quite a bit due the the fact it varies alot upon hydration levels. you can have a swing of up to 5-7% during the day based upon water levels

Infrared uses that scope type deal (keeping it simple) thats presses to the bicep. Inaccurate due the single location of the test.
