People often struggle to guess BF percentages, and those callipers are simply not as good as the eye - if you have something to compare it to. I had these pics taken just before i had a full body DEXA scan (the ONLY way of estimating real body composition - ie. the only method which is not an estiomation) - its the gold standard of body composition:
Here are two pics:
Back
Front
Here are the Dexa results:
Region Fat(g) muscle mas (g) %Fat
L Arm 622 5835 9.3
R Arm 429 5823 6.6

L Leg 1504 15060 8.7
R Leg 1419 15179 8.2
Subtotal 7128 83698 7.6
