calculating body fat !
 

As we all no lads scales are usless for bodybuilders lose one pound of fat and gain two pounds of muscle and ur BMI goes up. But i did invest 80 uk pounds in a set that done body fat via a electric current ive since found out that these type of scale are at best usless, and only calipers are accurate but when i read up everyone has different ways of doing them, take 3 measurments, take 6, take 7 u can do on your own or u realy need somone to do them for u. Does anyone know the best way forward.
I dont compete but i do try to be the best i can be work and family allowing lol.

i just look in the mirror!

if you pop in to a fitness first they will take your bodyfat for you fella for a few £ !

yeah look in the mirror i do that and the wife thinks im posing, could get a new wife though but thanks for the info on fittness first cheers

US military uses neck to waist difference.....example 30 inch waist minus 18 inch neck equals 12......so i'm not fat!!!

thanks Irish thats intresting i was in the british army back in the day they didnt use that whats the scale 12 not fat what is cheers

I bought some scales too, I have some calipers and knew my body fat was around 16% at the time, the scales brought me in at 26% lol

Pretty impossible to do yourself though mate, think I tested 6 spots but not too sure now. I'll have to root out my %logs

The mirror technique works a treat unless you start to tuck in and tense to fool yourself :D

I tried the waist neck formular and it's the same as the calipers, so yes it's confermed i'm fat.
