    Default What is your Body Fat Percentage?

    I got tested electronically at the local drugstore for the price of a single coin slot insert, and this is how my results churned out:

    Apparently 15.2% body fat; though I was also wearing shoes & clothes at the time :-) ...

    Did you get tested electronically or by a doctor/drugstore?

    By calipers, not electronically.

    14%. 5'9. 155 pounds. Electrical impedance method.

    At one time I was 170 pounds with about 12% bf, unfortunately age and injuries have taken a toll. I'm feeling pretty good now so I am hoping to get bigger, stronger, and fitter this year.

    I think more calipers. When you are a bodybuilder or someone with so much dry muscle mass, they tend to say you are fat. Once, one guy who was only muscles, he weighted like 225 lbs and he was very lean and the electrical impedance said he was 16%...and that wasn't true at all, he was like max 8%.

    Have you ever done the electric/electrical-impedance one? And what percentage for your results did you score with that?

    Is about how hydrated or dehydrated I am. I can have from 10 to 15-16%. That's why I do not find them very accurate.

    Mine would be in the healthy range.
    If you see a post in red font made by my username, that means that it is Pompey's post, not mine.
