Bodyfat Testing

[razter]

What is the best way to test your bodyfat? How are the scales you step on?

Scales = no good.

Water is the way to go.

Around 13% but i depends not everyone is the same.

One thing for sure at 10% your suppose to see it

calipers in the hands of a pro can be close. You only get 100% accuracy out of water or one of these

a number of colleges have either one of these or a water based unit, you go in fasted so digestive tract is as empty as it can be to avoid false readings.

Thanks everyone. What is the best way to do it at home though? I just want to monitor it. Thanks.

It is hard to perform an accurate test on yourself, so I will have to agree with Tenny...the mirror is the best option.
