ITS NOT THAT THE CALIPERS ARE UNREALIABLE. They measure different things. Their accuracy is not 1000% because its a skin fold measure, even the ones the try to eliminate the water aspect of the skin fold. They ONLY measure skin fold. The BodPod / dunk tank measures your body's displacement of water - this allows you to account for internal fat as well - the stuff that is around your organs. Also it is not dependent at all on inaccuraciesi inherent in the pinch method.

Hmmm. Smart and sexy. Now I will not be able to concentrate for the rest of the day!

HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING RESULTS



DATE OF TEST: March 13, 2006
SUBJECT NAME: Slat1
EVALUATOR: Fred *******


SKIN FOLD RESULTS: 11.7% Body Fat (Jackson-Pollack 6 site formula which has the greatest accuracy and reliability for adults 25-50 years of age)


UNDERWATER WEIGHING RESULTS: Water Temp.: 37oC Water Density: 0.99336
Chair Weight: 4.75 kg Dry Body Weight: 102.73 kg

Residual Volume: 2.228 liters
Average Underwater Weight: 9.3 kg
Underwater Body Fat: 15.00%

COMMENTS: There is a discrepancy between the underwater and skinfold results. The human factor clearly plays a role in the skinfold measurement (Is the size of the pinch consistent? Are the calipers placed in the correct spot? Are the calipers slipping during measurement?). I believe the underwater results are good and the result is accurate. From a visual perspective, the underwater results make more sense.

Huh? I have 8 abs showing while I am just standing there and I am 15%. So much for being at 10% to see all your abs.
This is beyond depressing!!!!

Slat. I'm at 10%, trying to get down to 6%. Now is the time to do it for me. Summer is coming and I'm at the lake wake boarding, counting calories in my Miller Lights...HE-he-he.
