Visit www.mybodycomp.com (http://www.mybodycomp.com).
Find a gym that offers caliper testing.
Call your local hospital to see if they offer any body fat tests.

Read the site. That's all the information you need.

To be honest, I've found www.mybodycomp.com to be unreliable in bf%. It said I had 6% and I'm no where near that ripped! Gym with callipers is pretty good and they gave me a more realistic number (13.5%).

Either way, from what I understand, these are all just estimates right? The only way to properly calculate it is if you go to a lab and get tested properly....

Anyway, that's what I think.

9 point test works best for me. Give that a try.
