Ok, another question . I finally took my digital bf measuring device out last night (forgot the brand, it was from dpnutrition - digital w/the blue button ).
I did the measurement 6 different times and got 6 answers. 3 where pressing the blue button as I pressed, and 3 where pressing the blue button once I was pressing the skinfold.
Basically the two numbers that I came up with were
23% BF
29.2%.
I am 5 8", 190, and have fat to loose in the stomach / waist area, so I am confident the 29.2% is closer to my #. The docs say for a "good-avg" body for my size bf should be 20%, so I know I am not only 3% off. Does that sound right, 20 for an "ideal" body? or is that still fat?
thanks
