Body Fat %

[TJLEE]

What methods do you guys use to measure your body fat percentage?

It would be interesting to see what I am now, compared to what I am going to be but I have no means of measuring this.

Thanks.

Calipers mate.
Certain skin fold sites you take measurements from, around your sub scapualris, bicep, tricep and near your asis i believe.

when the sport science department let me, dxa scan which measures, body fat %, lean body mass, fat mass etc in each segment of my body!

[TJLEE]

Sounds good Edd_123, need to get me one of those. Although probably cheaper to go with the calipers.


sub scapualris........what is this?

[JoshLarge]

Its the fat around the Scapula on your back...here is a great site..

The last two gyms I've gone to have a set of electronic scales that calculate body fat. No idea how accurate they are, but its easy!

[JoshLarge]

Scales really aren't that accurate.
