   Does anyone know the formula for figuring out your bodyfat %? I have my calipers, I just cant find the booklet that comes with it. IP: Logged |

I don't have the formula on hand but I can say this.Visually,if you have all 3 rows of abs to see the max you are at is around 10%. If the the thickness of the skin on your thighs is the same as the back of your hand you are below 5%.A company that I used to go to to have BF % testing done (they used ultra sound) told me the lowest they ever measured was a middle weight bb at 4.3% back stage at the Emerald Cup.A national qualifier. So don't belive these figures that you always here of 3 % bf on this or that guy, odds are the estimate is way off. BTW. Just measure yourself in 5-6 places with your calipers.add for the total. Use that as the base line.Though you won't know the % you will know if you are going up or down. IP: Logged |
