| | | You can't just estimate bf% based off these numbers. You need to get some type of test done. |

| | | Hydrostatic is best, that's where you are put into a tank of water, or by Skinfold testing done with a caliper. |

my wild stab would be: 1.67x10^3.88 percent body fat... but that's just a stab |

But seriously Paul, you can't just estimate based on those numbers -- you need to be tested for it. Have a qualified trainer use calipers for a more accurate and quick testing. |
