How do I find out my BF%??????

Ive been wanting to figure out my BF% like for a long time but not really 100% how or where to go to do it.
 
Most gyms will have someone that knows how to use the calipers for testing............. or if you can afford it there are some places that have the pods that fill up with oxygen to test your bodyfat. There's also another way where the submerge you in water and they are able to tell your bf % that way as well...... Ithing that is supposed to be the most acurate.
 
my gym had one of those hand held bf testers
i was like 1 week out from my show and i was super ripped so i was curious to know what my bf % was
so i did it the fucking thing said like 21%
that thing is such bullshit i was def like 3 or 4 %
i was peeled
i felt like smashing that thing
 
Can someone give a guess by his avatar? I have 10.5% on the low, 12% on the high. Just a guess, I'm not a great judge of that though.
 
It's hard to tell by that picture because you would need to see more to make a good guess........ maybe around 13% not too sure.

You can do a reading one after another on the electical impulse ones like you did and have very different readings everytime........ they suck
 
Well

The pic up there is one that I took over the summer, I was drinking a gallon of milk a day and a little bit of water along with a protein shake and eating alot. So I look a lil bigger than normal on that pic but well here is another one that was taken that same day just a different angle and of abs.


And 1 more question , is there any way to check how many lbs of just muscle you have? Because if so and its not too expensive at the end of every month I want to have my muscle mass tested to see my gains and that I think would be a good motivator for me

From that pix maybe in the 11% range.........

That's pretty much what your doing when you find out your body fat %
 
The caliper is the usual method but they have these scales you can buy now too that give you a body fat reading by using a small electro signal through your body. They are pretty cool, you have to stand on them barefoot. I don't know how accurate it is though, but if I really watched my bf% I would buy one.
