Default Want to know your bodyfat % ?

For anyone who hasnt yet purchased a set of callipers, (you should really) then if you post up the following, I will work it out for you.....

Your Height,
Your Weight,
Your Waist measurement,
Your Wrist measurement,

Please provide the body measurements in inches and the body weight in pounds, this is for ease of calculation.....Thanks

*** For females, please include the Hip measurement as well....

Measure your waist around the belly button, and the wrist measurement is taken above the hand and below the wrist bone. Do not guess the measurements, or take the size of the jeans, pants etc. USE A TAPE MEASURE.....!!!!!
