take this test and tell me your results -

http://www.biofitness.com/bodyfat.html

I just took it and it claims i'm 13.6 body fat, every other method including scales puts me between 23 and 26 and i know that's about right, just wondering if i'm doing it wrong hehe, i assume it's in imperial (inches and lb) and it doesn't say.

You can put in any old email address and name, the results are on screen, no need to use a real one.

Mine gave me 28% Bodyfat...

mybodycomp.com gave me 23.74% using far more measurements...

I hope the latter is right :-)

ah thanks you answered my next question, what online measurement sites do other people use :)

I want 3 or 4 sites that give similar results using different measurements, strange that that one gave results so far out, i input -

age 25
weight 184
male
upper 10.75
ab 36.5
forearm 11.75

and it gives me 13.6%, i double checked the measurements and conversion (i use kg/cm) and it seems right, oh well i'll go check your site Amino :) thanks

My results:

biofitness = 17.6%

mybodycomp = 17.81%


they both gave me pretty much the same result. :tu:

Although I had assumed I was closer to 15% :confused: :o :p

I just followed the position of the tape. Not everyone has great big balls for shoulders, I have quite a wide back and having a tubby belly I can't rest my arms vertically down my body, so I just put the tape round about where it shows on the pic....

Hope that helps...
