bodyfat

[Wesco]

Hi guys, I'm not quite sure where to post this so I just decided to post it here. Anyway the last time I checked my bodyfat was at the gym when I had a personal trainer. I was wondering how can I check my bodyfat on my own, I know the personal trainer used a caliper, but is there like a formula for checking your bodyfat, or how can I check my bodyfat on my own.

even with calipers your not going to get an exact measurement and the results vary so much day to day , I say just really evaluate yourself in the mirror and you will be able to pretty much tell if you are getting leaner , because the percentage isnt as important as how you actually look I dont think

kinda like weight .... i am only 200 lbs but because i am so lean i look bigger then most guys heavier then me! you could always check with a doc.

i think most calipers come with formulas for that.

I've got digital bodyfat calipers, and I gotta say, it ain't worth crap! It's 3-site and uses the formula. One day it said 8% the next it said 11% . So I just go by the mirror now like Loudog said.
