Body fat % ?
#1 06-07-2010 11:54 PMSo the pollock/jackson method puts me at 4% which is ridiculous. Im just not getting on with the calipers !
What do you guys think ? Camera isnt too great so cant see loads of definition but in the mirror i can start to make out the individual muscles of my bicep, and the same for my pecs

After
Mega tan lines lol !

Agree with dave. 12% maybe more.

Agree with Dave, probably in the middle of 10-15%.
Is that University of Bath accommodation in the first pic? I think I recognise the dreaded pod...Want to save 5% on your order? Want to repay me for the awesome advice I gave you? Or do you just like the cut of my jib?
---> Then use MP120578 on your 1st order & get a 5% discount. -

A common mistake people make with calipers is not pinching enough skin. You need to start the pinch wide and really make sure you gather up enough skin, other wise you will get artificially low readings.
