    An accurate one doesnt exist.

    Best way to test it quickly by yourself is to use skinfold calipers.. they can be picked up cheaply and are much more accurate than electric resistance measurers or internet body fat formulas etc

    this is what i have in a BB book, but like they said, its probly not very accurate.

    Multiply your weight (in the nude) by 1.082
    Add 94.42
    Your waist measurement (at naval) x 4.150
    Weight factor - Waist Factor (result will be lean body mass)
    Actual weight - Lean Body Mass (your body fat)
    Body fat divided by actual weight x100 = your body fat percentage

    squat 415 x 8

    take off clothes
    look in mirror
    if you don't feel sexy, then you are fat
    if you do feel sexy, then you aren't fat
    cut or bulk accordingly...

    I'm 6' at 208lb this morning...

    Using your formula above, I'm at 20.2%..... Probably pretty close since I'm not as 'lean' as I used to be (since I've been eating like a horse - to me anyways to put on some mass...LOL)....

    Thanks..

    peace out...
