My heart was broken, I was like I’m guessing I’m 17% body fat, but I’m 21%😭 now it’s time to cut some more weight. And to do this to watch more Omar to figure it out🤷🏻♂️
This is garbage. Your weight doesn't take in to account of how much lean muscle mass you have. I always measure obese around 32% but with calipers I'm measuring 17%. I always measured obese but my abs are very distinct.
I've been using the Accu-Measure calipers for a couple months. Last result with the common Jackson-Pollock 3-site density formula (easy to do on yourself) was 14.3%. This method gives 16%. Either way, it doesn't look like it in the mirror. I've been rocking the skinny fat look for years. Finally changing, though (the reason I started measuring). I started the year around 21%. Despite the drop in bf%, I've stayed roughly the same weight (177lbs vs 182lbs). As soon as I finish out this challenge period in April, I'm going to shift into more of a lean bulk and focus on adding weight to the bar.
My biggest complaint with the Accu-Measure calipers is the scale. The inch scale is so large as to be worthless (1/8th in. precision). The mm scale is better at 2mm precision, but this results in jumps of more than 1% if all three measurements change enough to shift to the next tick mark. So I end up using half-scale readings ("it's between 20 and 22, so 21"), which isn't all that great.
I used it and got 18% at 78kg and 177cm. Before I tested I looked at examples and estimated it to ~15-20% so I'd say it's pretty accurate unless you have a THICC neck or ass

11% body fat checking in…will update in 15 days..
this isnt accurate at all some people just have wide waists even at low body fat, same thing for neck. This will only be accurate for average people

This methods rubbish. It has me at about 10% bodyfat. I’m actually more like 16- 17%

Looks pretty easy and I got 16% on that website. Thanks!
181cm 15 years old 85kg and 15% pretty happy thanks for the video!
What about with loose skin? I'm getting 25 percent, but there's no way….

If you have bigger Abs then waist will be bigger so it also gives huge wrong estimation
Should neck be flexed?
Just buy a smartscale and check results in your smartphone… accurate for less than 50 usd
Is this still accurate if you work out your neck and get some neck gains?
thanks bro this helped a lot
cant be right. says im %8 bf and i barely have a 4 pack
Well this is four years later but that calculator is pathetic
