I see a lot of people post their % of bodyfat here, but how do you find it out?
Mudge said:Bioelectrical impedance has never worked for me or anyone I know. I'm not 30% bodyfat I can tell you that for sure. They say you need to be hydrated and empty of bladder, I drink my water for damn sure and I still have never seen below 27% even with wet fucking feet.
They say that because it measures the quickness the electric signals bypass your body....the less you drink the fatter it will say you are.Mudge said:They say you need to be hydrated and empty of bladder, I drink my water for damn sure and I still have never seen below 27% even with wet fucking feet.

Thighs-- about 1 inch above knee cap
superisillics -- fat diagnally, in between chest and armpit
Triceps -- one inch down from the armpit

Fall 2003, calipers showed me to be at between 11.5 and 12%; scales ranged from 10-13.5% depending on hydration levels. Now, Calipers = 15.6%, scales read anywhere from 14.3-16.9%.
Mudge said:Mine is sadly, an official Tanita bodyfat scale. At least the weight seems accurate. If it goes up or down I may take slight notice but basically it doesn't change much.
