We ask/read all sorts of BF questions around here, so what's one more?
I'm one of those folks who has managed to get fairly lean everywhere but my butt/saddlebag area. I use a 7 site test, using pectoral, abdominal, thigh, tricep, subscap, midaxilla, and suprailiac measurements, which tells me my BF is 12 to 13.4%, depending on which equation is used. So a woman who has all the same readings as I have, but without the fat ass, will have the same BF reading, which of course can't be true.
So does anyone know how, short of hydrostatic weighing, to get a more accurate idea? I've just been using the readings to monitor the change, but it would be nice to have a more solid idea what it is.
