Will you people PLEASE shut up about body fat percentages. I realise there is much Ecred to be gained on the board as the body fat percentage guru but come on...this has been going on for way too long

I want it all! * cue in "I want it all"* ;)
 
Looks like my last post here got swept away in some moderation after I went to bed. I thought it was about to go downhill, lol
 
Does anyone know the Margin of Error on the body pod's measurement? It does have one.

I also would like to know. Just curious, because I just recently heard of them. I get the calipers clamped every Sunday. It would be cool to try one of those out

I wasn't going to resurrect this earlier, but since you brought it up, I read 2% on average but up to 6%. Facial hair, amount of air in the lungs, tightness of clothing, lots of factors.

Edit Swansoned a dozen times lol

He doesn't have much hair, probably doing it in shorts. It's probably closer to the 2-3% end here at UT. I can believe 7-10%. You really need fat to be able to not be frail.

These were the figures quoted.

First, Jalen was "not" 227 when he came in. He was 217. The roster was fluffed a bit and not accurate on him. He went from 217 lbs at 8% bf to 221 lbs at 5.4% bf.

So, he's lost 5.4 lbs of fat and gained 9.4 lbs of muscle.

Have no idea the accuracy of the bod pods, but I would say there is some degree of error. I couldn't imagine that it's a lot though.

We have a guaranteed 2% error with a possible 6% at the max. We're almost *****ing about semantics. He's most likely to fluctuate between the MOE, and his measurement. Hurd could also be at 4% also.

Bod pods are supposed to be equal to hydrodisplacement. May be even more accurate.
