Hard to tell. I would hate to go high or low on you. Everyone holds it in different areas.
You are looking good though. Great size and definition.
I would get the 7 point test done. Its a great way to monitor how you are doing. I do it once a month. If my fat increases I really tighten up my diet.
I don't think you are at 10% yet. Definately not 20% or above. If I had to guess I would say someplace between 12 and 16.
Get it checked though. It is impossible to tell by looking!

I am going to get a seven point test done end just before july 4th weekend, to see whats what, then do it as a schedule like you suggest, that sounds like a plan.

[gonelifting]

The Jackson - Pollock formulas ask for values in millimeters, most all skinfold calipers are in MKS too.

A couple great sites on the 7 and three point Jackson Pollock measurements are as follows.

RustyIron's Bodyfat Calculators. JMW is a good guy from my old misc.fitness.weights days

Testosterone Nation's Body Comp for Beginners article Shows you how to grasp the skin folds with detailed photos.

confess you were measuring the good Cheffie by the size of the present, BTW Cheffie, I definitely believe you are not over 10%. Man, look at your arms, Abs and legs...

 

[slat1]

you dummy hes definately under 12%

As I said.. I can't tell. I thought I was coming in at 11%. He is very tight through the arms and shoulders. You can see all his abs too. I figured it would be best to post high if anything. There is nothing worse than going in thinking you are low and coming out higher...

 

[slat1]

I just looked again. Chef... your legs are a lot tighter than mine! I believe your arms arms/delt area is too.
Go get it tested. Its the only way to know.
*Shave that chest too! LOL. It will make you look younger.... LOL

OMG... shaved it once... bad experience.. my skin did not appreciate that at all... at the risk of you tossing your lunch, lets just say one word 'ingrown'... i will leave it at that... It usually electric trimmer lowest setting close, but no razor action again for me.. YIKES!


Well this test at gold's said... 16-18%!!!!!! WTF?!?!? not a confidence builder, that is for shit sure. Going to get it done by a pro next week down south, see if that is a real number.. not sure how the fuck that could be...

This made me think of the Seinfeld episode when Jerry was thinking about shaving his chest and Kramer warned him not to do it.

Btw - Thank you for the kind comments!! I hope to be even closer to my goal by Frisky's show.

I use clippers with no guard every friday. It leaves just enough so there are not ingrown hairs or itching.
Did they do some sort of electronic test?
Definately get it done by a professional. Have them give you the measurements too. There are quite a few websites that you can punch the numbers in on to get an accurate reading.
Don't get too down. I had a moron at Golds do mine one time and he looked at me and said "not bad... 25%"
I almost slapped him.
As I mentioned prior... you arms, shoulders and legs look tighter than mine. We all hold it differently though.. Its even harder when we are in our 30's.

was it a height vs weight check?

most likely, because unless the person was a complete idiot, it wouldnt come out that high....or unless u have a tail of fat behind u that noone can see

 

[bran987]

lol @ tail of fat
