Im 2.8% bf, is this possible?

[Griz1]

I only trust hydrostatic so far.

I'll second that! Go get hydro'd and I'll bet your a higher percent than what you're getting.

Its not possible to be that low for a female. So how do you stay ripped all year round?

 

[Latamier]

I have to agree with hydro PROBABLY being the most accurate. However, when I am getting ready for a show, the best way to measure body fat is simply by looking in the mirror. Since YOU will most likely be your hardest critic. It is a whole lot cheaper as well. Good luck in your show. Which one are you going to do, by the way?

your abs are lagging at 2.8% BF??? are you natty? thats an almost impossible BF for women to maintain w/o AAS... I think the calipers are off (the error rate is +/- 5%).

Get dunked.

Nope, not possible. You would be dead. Calipers are a joke. I've tested at 3.7% before when bulking, had no abs and small love handles. LoL

Calipers don't take into account the documented variance in skin thickness among different ethnicities. They also depend on the skill of the person doing the measuring. Most people have 2-3% bodyfat around their internal organs so 2.8% would be virtually fat-free. You can't be anywhere near that level and still be lacking abdominal definition.

Dunno bout digital calipers. But with normal calipers I tested 3.6% ...a few weeka ago, getting ready for first comp. The readings were 5or6mm abs....1mm chest....6or7mm thigh.
I could see someone being lower but my abs and obliques were ripped..I'm talking veins running from lower ab to chest.

yes pictures please . i'm 3.2% with hydro.................... oh well i'm still fat compared to you

The Jackson-Pollock 7 point test is apparently a new standard for bf testing. I had mine done in water and through the 7 point and the readings were within .5%

I tested mine a week out from my show and it was 2.7%. Some of my sites were 1 mm. I don't really think it was that low, I just don't think it could be. The calipers weren't digital. It was done by a guy who has done it many times. It hurt like hell when he was pinching because there wasn't much to grab.

bump...has anyone heard of the "body pod"..if so, how accurate is it?it looks like an egg, mork form mork, and is supposed to be pretty good?
