I don't have the hang of the calipers yet, and I personally think an experienced eye can be better than those things.

I think I'm at 20-22%. Sound right?

That was interesting. It said 13% for me, and that navy measurement said 18%. I think I need some calipers

I've read a bit about the army/navy calculation but have been unable to find it. Does anyone know of a site that has this information?

Is this one you're talking about? It was posted somewhere on another thread.

good question. I have no clue what my bodyfat is either. Dont own a caliper or anything. Where do you think I am at? (ballpark guess?) I'm 6'2" and seem stuck at round 208. Seems heavier than I should be. Thanks

If I had to guess I'd say you were at around 13 or 14%. Try the link posted by Lootrok a few posts up. That site asks for a lot more data points than many of the other websites, so hopefully it's more accurate.

I measured again at home and got about the same score for the above site.

The navy measurements can be entered into this form:

I went to the site Lootrock mentioned and it put me at 16.8%.

Good calls, Jingo and woeisemma.

Oh, yeah, and I can't wait until I get under 10% -- I won't even have to worry about getting a tan. :D

that website put me at 16.4% Doesnt seem all that good :confused: How accurate has it been for the rest of you? Guess now I have something numberwise to reference to, and improve from there.
