estimates by the eye. if you are on /fit/ for a few months, you can do it accurately
>>
>>36815326
Unless you get an entire professional body scan or dunk tank, you're estimating. Calipers and such can be extremely inaccurate
>>
>>36815373
Even then you can never get a true value as your weight always fluctuates.
>>
trying to get an accurate number is futile, and even if you did get an accurate number it would be pointless for comparison because all the numbers you see on the internet are highly inaccurate.

Surely you are not saying that skinfold thickness fluctuates on a day to day basis.

15% here.
Pretty happy with my percentage, as I was 25% about a year and a half ago.
I want to get to 12% but I like beer way too much. Oh well.

on a cut
17% here

>>36815326
I generally just do it by eye, but you can use some fat calipers and do it that way.

Pic related is 14%, had it officially tested in a BOD POD or whatever the fuck it was called (air displacement method)

I just use a binary scale of whether or not abs are visible. If not then I'm too fat and need to cut.
