Either mine are shit or I'm using them wrong. They keep giving me results that hover around 15% but I'm pretty sure I have more body fat than that. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at me and tell me if maybe I'm actually I sing them correctly.
For background info, I used to be in really good shape and weigh in at 135 with 4% bf while I was a wrestler. Unfortunately we didn't use the calipers we used some fancy expensive scale that would check out bf so idk how accurate it was and I didn't learn to use the calipers.
I'm currently 160.4 lbs. With the Jackson/Pollock data tables I get about 18% bf (my tables measure that at 63mm). With the durnin/womersly tables using all four locations I get ~15% (I round up because I refuse to believe I have sub 14.7% body fat) with 33mm.
Could the results be scewed because I store all of my fat in my abdomen? So the data might be right but all of that weight is just in one spot making me look like I have a higher bf% than I really do?
Pic related. Tried to get a pic that showed the way my fat was distributed as best as I could.

I'm shit at estimating things but I CSN say for sure that you don't look 15%.
>>
>>38499421
I refuse to believe you have less than 25% bf.
Actually what i believe is you posted a "friend's" photo for us to make fun of.

around 19%

So how do I use those calipers correctly? I haven't had anyone else doing then so I've had to do it myself, so maybe that's the problem, like the way I have to twist to be able to measure and read with them causes the results to be fucked?

You don't need calipers. Just rest assured you need to cut and lift for about 2-3 years.
>>
>>38499603
don't even bother trying to measure shit. Just eat heaps clean, drink a lot of water, and do a lot of volume in the gym. Use the mirror as a guide not the scale

Best way to do it op
>Take off your shirt and stand in front of a mirror
>Pinch your chest about an inch between the crease in your armpit and your nipple
>With the other hand, put the calipers on the table
>Make sure to separate the fat layer from the muscle - you can do this by rolling the pinch of skin lightly
>Pick up your phone
>With your right hand, slowly release the skinfold
>Dial your nearest scan clinic
>When the kind lady asks what you need, tell her a DEXA scan
>On the allotted time, go get your scan done
>???
>Result

that's not a big bulge
>>
>>38499665
Got it. I don't have access to weights right now (and likely won't for a month or two). Is calisthenics + kickboxing a good combo to start shedding fat?

>>38499718
Op here
Thanks but seriously that was at best Meh tier. I can make my bulge look way better I'd imagine. Not positive but my dick was not in an ideal position for bulging.
>>
>>38499745
Yes. Diet is top priority though, and the hardest part.
>>
>>38500293
Yeah, I have friend who is pretty on point with diet dhit helping me out with that soon.

19%

I'd put you at 20% if i had to estimate. Calipers are overpiced pieces of shit.
>>
>>38499421
Slightly more than 20% but no way 25%
