Whats best way to check BF?

[Stainless_Steel]

i need a pretty accurate measurement of BF. I want to have it done before I start my cycle and after to see what I lose. I've got the calipers, but how good are they. At my gym they got a thing that they put on your finger and checks it that way. I guess with electric impulse through you. So whats the best way?

Hydrostatic body fat testing is by far the best if that is not avalible in your area then a 5 point caliper test getting them to do at least 3 pinchs on each area is the next best option.

You really need to make sure that whoever does the caliper testing has been doing it for a while to be sure that when they do it next time you get a consistent reading.

The results from a caliper testing can vary too much to call it accurate but if you can settle for consistent then it might be good enough to know whether you're gaining or losing BF. As a test, get two different people to do the reading and compare the results.
