How to Guess Bodyfat...

[psikilla]

I've heard people say that if you can atleast see the outline of your abs you must be around 11-12% BF

If you can see your ribs but have some flab on abs would you say your around 15-16%?

I can see the outline of my abs if I stretch (and I can feel them)

I dunno, maybe you're around 13-14%?

I don't know how accurate theory is, because people carry fat in different areas, you can get a caliper for 20 bucks, or if you go to a gym they usually measure your body fat for free, if you ask them.

I use this CKD calculator - its just a rough approximation - but seems to be ok

Just enter your waist size, sex and body weight.
