Skinfold Testing

w8lifter · 01-03-2003, 08:23 PM

If you've never had a skinfold done under DP / w8 then you should read this first. Minimum 7 site...9 site is optional. Most gyms only offer a 3 or 4 site test...so make sure you know the extra sites (the trainers might not) and make sure you ask for the extra sites to be read. They don't need to figure out your BF% ...we just want the readings.

If you don't have a competent trainer and/or gym you can go to, go to a university or college.

Also....I think it's both interesting and I like how people are posting and we are "looking" at MM's ONLY so far!

I/we don't care if we ever see a "BF%" (although at the end, a before and after may be useful)..but rather NOW can see the CHANGES, site by site as they are going to occur

Leah, the second link is not working, do you have the site handy?

w8lifter · 01-30-2003, 01:48 PM

Sorry TP...they must have taken that site down

Twin Peak · 01-30-2003, 01:57 PM

Okay, thanks. I just thought it was a problem with the link.

w8lifter · 01-30-2003, 02:06 PM

The first one will give you the same results though

Twin Peak · 01-30-2003, 02:10 PM

Yeah, I dowloaded the excel sheet. Thanks!

why some people's bf% is high and they look good! and others bf% is lower and they dont look as good as the others

w8lifter · 01-30-2003, 07:06 PM

Because everyone is different and everyone carries their fat in a different way.

oceangurl01 · 01-30-2003, 07:30 PM

so if someone gets measured and have a 28% and looks like she have a lower bf % is better than someone who has a 20% bf and looks like she has a higher bf%??

w8lifter · 01-30-2003, 07:34 PM

Can you reliably check your own BF%?

Not really...you certainly can't do a full 7 or 9 site test
