estimate my bf%
i wasn't sure where to put this. if a mod knows a better forum, move it please.
i'm just looking for educated guesses from experienced people. all i have to go by is the little handheld thing at my gym. i've heard they aren't very accurate.
some info that may help:
i'm 42 yrs. old / 5'7" / 195lbs / waist - 34in. / chest - 50in. / arms - 16in.
