He's a guy. He took 3 measurements, one from my leg, upper back, and chest. Then he averaged them and said,

"Ta da! 16%. You're fat!"


I think my bf% is closer to 10% comparing myself to some of the guys at the gym. Maybe I'll get it re-checked.

Maybe 12% or so generally. Up to 16% or more when "bulking up" oink oink. Compete at about 7%.
Once, I was measured at 16% a couple months before a contest. Five weeks or so later the same guy measured me and came up with 8%. He almost feel off his rocker.

0.33%

(This is of course in reference to Ronnie C's claims).

Honestly I'm at 8.7% (tested in a physiology lab by two Ph.Ds using calipers - 7 sites -).

Hydrostatic weighing = 5,3%
Bioimpedance = 2%
Calipers = 9%

I am a medical student and we did this laboration where we calculated fat percentage.
If you add them into a formula the final result is 6.3%.
I did this last year, now I am probably around 7%.
