when messuring your BF%

Is the water retention messured as bf ??

posted by Smallguy

as far as I know yes

yes it would. e.g.--for hydrostatic weighing, you are weighed dry first. lets say you weigh 200lbs dry and you have a lean mass of 170lbs then you would say that 85% of you is lean mass. but the remaining 15% is anything not heavier than water. (notice i said not heavier than, NOT lighter than) you could say this person is 15% bf but in reality probably less because of water. I will have a definitive answer for you tomorrow when i get back to my friends at the local university.

skin calipers or a scale

the scales are pretty inacurate

skin fold calipers can give an accurate reading the more points ur measure the better but it takes practice
