I don't know if this is the right spot for this.
What kind of scale do you bros use to calculate your body fat? I haven't measured since the old skin fold test in grade school gym class.

The gym I hit has a hand held electronic test that is supposed to be accurate within a percent. It only takes a couple of minutes very helpful to monitor progress.

I did the handheld one and it put me at 6.4% which is way off so I did a 3 point caliper and I was at 11% which is way more realistic lol.

If you are layin around the house and want to check there is a formula if you google bf%.. measure a few places and a lil bit of math.. prop 2-3% margin of error but it will work till you buy calipers or an instrument.. If you can't find it PM me and I'll see if it's in my browser history bro
