Would say 14-16 LM - do you actually trust those things?? Are there any studies proving the calibrations that they use, 'cos the cheap ones are invariably miles off...

Looks lower than mine at 14.4%, I'm with AJ on this, about 12%, allowing for genetic variation of course.

Not sure at all of the reliability or validity of them. This one was one of the more expensive types and was connected to my wrists and ankles by electrodes. Even when I was a PT and measuring people using calipers, I was often surprised at how low or high the % was when compared to the total skin fold thickness. So really my 19% comment may be well over what Wiffers is, but it's possibly more accurate than me having a stab in the dark guess at BF.

Ignoring 19% as electric things are never accurate 12% 14-16% (15%) 12% 13-14% (13.5%) 16% 12% 13-15% (14%) 14-16% (15%) 14% So basically people here are guessing 12% - 16% with an average of 13.7% Cool, so 13.5% - 14% would be a good guess. Is about what I thought. Thanks guys - appreciated

14-15 and not 12, i think a shaven body would show better but at 12 i would epxect more definition of either abs or veins and more leg definition but once again hair doesnt help
