Whats my bodyfat % ???

[gtrcivic]

Went to the gym and the guy measured using one of the skinfold calipers. Here are the results. He wasn't sure how to put these #'s into an equation to come up with overall BF %.

6'0 183 lbs

Bi 3%
Tri 5%
Waist 13%
Back 20%

Do i divide the sum by 4 to get BF %??? So i would be 10%. Did do BF calculator with wrist, waist, forearm, , hips to calculate to 9% BF.

NO!

No, bro, those are the amount of millimeters for each of those sites....you have to add them, take the sum and look on a chart or do a formula which I don't have right here....go on google and type body composition calcualation or something to that effect....
