i'm not surprised he's 28%... CF said i was 33.7%

Well, not sure... but I do know 28% bf% is really fat and none of the Health regs are at that level.

28% is sumo? sumo looks 40% to me hahahahahahah

I think the device has a +10% bias. LOL

over 25% = obese fyi

well darklight seen me before. if not 28% at least got 22-25%

No. Lower.

i agree with darklight....
you are around 18%.... 22 - 25% is me

can try with this method for estimation

yes, body fat % for guys & gals.

I think you could just use a vernier caliper to measure it. You are just measuring the thickness of the skin fold after all.

U noe, stop worrying about bodyfat, just use the mirror. I don't understand why some people are so obsessed about being 5% bf, 8% bf...yada yada.
As bodybuilders, you guys are supposed to look good without your shirts, so stop worrying about the BF%. Let that be the burden of scientists and doctors.
Some people look leaner albeit a higher bf, some people look flabbier albeit lower bf, it's just a weird process. So just relax, train, eat, rest.

Oh and just to annoy you all, powerlifters fTW! (I've never actually use FTW, but whatever)

i just pinch with my fingers and check with ruler . after all, for me, it is just to keep record whether i gain too much fat and therefore rough estimation is enough.

In a way true. What's the point of being ripped when people have no size. Everybody can get ripped, not everyone can get big. It's harder to do so.

big is wat i'm trying to be. just that having a low bf% is a challenge as well haha

I want to be big and ripped

me too...i dont just wanna be big...i wanna be HUGE! and RIPPED!

like arnold !!! but thats way huge lol. arms got 19 i f***ing happy lol

I believe in balance. One of the many important teachings of Buddhism. (play soft background music)

Too much or something, you'll look like that synthol freak 26" bicep gaylord drug dealer.

Too little, you'll look like that 6" 50KG basketball player.

I'm goin for 18" arms. Think I can get it? Mmmm.....
