View Full Version : now curious about my bodyfat..
adeyman Fri, October 8th, 2004, 11:38 AM I have some scales which take user data (height - 5'8", sex - M, age - 21) and along with your weight and the resistance to a signal sent through your feet give you a bf%. Mine say that I am 17.4% (I weigh 132lbs) but looking at other threads I'm guessing that's wrong?

I look a bit silly in the pic, startled by the flash and because of the angle of the camera I couldnt look directly at it and up. In the picture I'm just tensing my abs.
Thanks, Adrian
karatetricker Fri, October 8th, 2004, 11:57 AM You don't look over 12%.
Reno_1ted Fri, October 8th, 2004, 11:57 AM No where NEAR what your scales say. As you get lower BF, your scales and electric measurements become innacurate. Get some calipers.
Id guess 13%. :nod:
ABguy Fri, October 8th, 2004, 11:58 AM You don't look over 12%.
I second that
Nagle101 Fri, October 8th, 2004, 04:06 PM I second that
Agree with others - you are not that %. Calipher best.
DeafNgari Fri, October 8th, 2004, 07:15 PM Just going to agree with everyone so far 12ish.
Duckman Sat, October 9th, 2004, 03:40 AM I also vote for 12%...add some more muscle and you'll look really good :tu:

DeafNgari Sun, October 10th, 2004, 02:54 AM Cals you get online easily.
Tibun Thu, October 21st, 2004, 06:39 PM if u wanna calculate ur BF try going to Http://www.mybodycomp.com
in my experience it is very accurate, as long as you have measuring tape. well, it might be different for u because im a fat man for now.
hope it helps
Ludvig78 Fri, October 22nd, 2004, 03:09 AM Try some nutrition or workout site. The really good once are like 400-500 dollars. I mean the once that dietists use.
