Test your BF

[gymrat]

Ok Folks step right up and test your BF.

I pulled this off of www.anabolex.com Canadain forum....

Check your bodyfat% here Post #1

I don't know how accurate this is but last time I had mine done professionally I was at roughly about 15 percent but I was retaining water j/k I was bulking its allowed but that was just about a month ago.

Read this post by Monka did what it said and it came up with the virtually the same numbers so check it out:


How to Calculate Your Bodyfat Percentage


One thing we engineers love are formulas and these I have found to be pretty accurate to calculate bodyfat. They are within +/- 3% of the real value. All you will need is a tape measure, a piece of paper, pencil or pen and a calculator.

Click here to use our online bodyfat calculator


For Men:

Before you use the formulas, there are two measurements that are required:

Measurement 1: Bodyweight

Measurement 2: Waist Girth (measured at the umbilicus) (in inches)

Procedure:

1) Multiply your bodyweight by 1.082. Add the result to 94.42. Once your calculation is complete, save the number. à (Bodyweight x 1.082) + 94.42=Result 1

2) Multiply your waist girth by 4.15. Once you get this result, subtract it from the number obtained in step 1 (ie: Step 1 result-Step 2 result). The result obtained after the subtraction is done is your lean bodyweight (your weight if you had no fat in your body at all). à Result 1 - (Waist Girth x 4.15)= Lean Body Weight

3) Finally, subtract your lean bodyweight from your total bodyweight (Total weight-Lean Bodyweight). Once you get the result, multiply that number by 100. Once you get the result divide it by your total bodyweight. This final result is your percentage of body fat. à ((Total Bodyweight - Lean Bodyweight) x 100) divided by (Your Body Weight) = Your Percentage of Body Fat.

So whats the test say for you and does it sound right to you or is it right if you've been checked recently.

here ya go. It's a little more involved.

Again from anabolex.

For Women:

Before you use the formulas, there are five measurements that are required:

Measurement 1: Bodyweight.

Measurement 2: Wrist Circumference (measured at the widest point).

Measurement 3: Waist Circumference (measured at your umbilicus).

Measurement 4: Hip Circumference (measured at the widest point).

Measurement 5: Forearm Circumference (measured at the widest point).

Procedure:

1) Multiply your bodyweight by 0.732. à Bodyweight x .0732 = Result 1.

2) Add the result above to 8.987. à Result 1 + 8.987= Result 2.

3) Divide your wrist circumference by 3.14. à Wrist divided by 3.14 = Result 3.

4) Multiply your waist measurement by 0.157. à Waist x 0.157 = Result 4.

5) Multiply your hip measurement by 0.249. à Hip x 0.249 = Result 5.

6) Multiply your forearm measurement by 0.434. à Forearm x 0.434 = Result 6.

7) Add results 2 & 3. à Result 2 + Result 3 = Result 7.

8) Subtract Result 4 from Result 7. à Result 7 - Result 4 = Result 8.

9) Subtract Result 5 from Result 8. à Result 8 - Result 5 = Result 9.

10) Add Result 6 and Result 9. The result is your lean body mass (your fat free weight) à Result 6 + Result 9 = Lean Body Mass.

11) Subtract your lean body mass from your bodyweight. Once you get the result, multiply that number by 100. Once you get this result, divide it by your bodyweight. à ((Bodyweight-Lean Body Mass) x 100) divided by your bodyweight.
