How accurate are the electric calipers? I normally just go by how big my belly is.

the tank method is the gold method all others are judged against the calipers are only as accurate as the skill of the operator using them and can be a lot off , impedence is about 20% inaccurate and near infa red (the system i use) is .1% either way but the one i use costs over £3,500 but makes getting someone into a possitive nitrogen balance a lot easier or predicting their condition right to the very day of the comp

The tank method is no longer the gold standard. The Bod pod is.

I think they are around 40k. The nearest place around me that has one is a university and they only allow their ""athletes"" to use them which is total BS. They are a D1 Big 12 school that sucks. Yeah like you said none of their athletes need to worry about their bf, even the wrestlers... probably only get down to 6 or 7%.

Have your girlfriend or wife pinch you, and if she says your fat, don't eat the rest of the day..

When she says your not fat, you then have a low bf%..
