I need some help on this. I’m trying to figure out exactly what my bf% is. I have a smart scale that says 21%. I have bf calipers that through one method says I’m 11% and another says I’m 29% bf which I know is way to high. I can see my abs without flexing but I know I’m not as low as 11%. Does anybody know a relatively cheap way to figure out exactly what bf% is??? Thanks in advance.

I also have an eat smart scale, which I think uses electrical response measured through the feet and based on other inputs lile gender and age gives a pretty close guess. It tralxs well, but I know the % changes are important and have good precision, despite the fact it's perhaps not centrally accurate.

But if your profile photo is current you are probably in the 11-14% range?

Wierd cause my eat smart scale I think matches other methods like the calipers you mentioned fairly well.

My profile picture isn’t current but yes I am right there. This is my current bf in this pictures and it’s hard to believe I’m as high as 21% but maybe I’m wrong.

Yeah no way you're 21%, probably still 10-13% guesstimate.

Right, that’s what I’m thinking. I am trying to get down to 10% then start bulking but I can’t get an accurate answer from any of these methods I mentioned. Pissing me off lol

So Ostarine and 10-15min cardio before weights for 6-8 weeks... With lean diet, cut. Then following that, switch to some DMZ and plain Test E for bulk after?

I’m on a andro/s4/yk11 cut right now. Been just about a month on that. I was keto for 2 months prior and have went from 24% bf to whatever I’m at now.. trying to figure that out. Best cut I have ever been on.

Skinfold analysis if done by a professional has roughly 3.5% error.
Your scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance and has an error of 2.7-6.3%.

Clean off your smart scale with a wet paper towel and clean your feet off with a wet paper towel. Allow to dry and then measure.

Haha, yeah no way your 21% bro. I’d say this 10-13% guesstimate is spot on.

I’ve used dexa scans a few times - expensive but as good as it gets really.

[Smont]

The scale had me at 26% with abs, way off. Can't use the scales

Did you benefit from the dexa more then just finding out bf, bone density? I read some give you good insight on your metabolism etc..

Not sure how a dexa scan can provide info on metabolism??

But yeah the information on the distribution of lean mass is useful in identifying muscular imbalances

How much weight loss in the two pictures

I don’t know if it was directly because of the scan but a service they offered using the info from the scan.
