Try find a 14 spot BF test... It's probably the most accurate you can get with calipers but you need someone else to do it...

....that's probably why you're getting 10% readings... KFG gives up.

As I keep saying, I don't currently have a 10% reading. That's what I'm trying to get to by the end of the weekend.
I'm not the one conducting the skin fold test. The tester is using method 4; I'm just going off the data they provide to me. I'm sure if I got a DEXA scan done, you'll all be asking for references from 3 other DEXA pods.

Dexa's aren't the be all, end all (they can still be inaccurate) but a lot more reliable than getting pinched in a few spots... may even be water retention than outright fat in some spots.

The photo I posted on page 2 was me 2 weeks ago with the calipers showing 13%. I'm more than happy to hear if this looks correct.
The main thing is that body fat is dropping at the moment, so continuing to work hard and hopefully get to what I'm predicting.

A dexa scan is accurate though, you won't receive different results as there is no human error... A caliper test (especially a 4 point one) is not accurate....
KFG does not believe your 13% is correct. KFG will even go as far as to be a 'bro' and post a pic of himself at 16ish% bodyfat later on this arvo.
