    Cool, how does that work? I'm not looking for a detailed biological explanation, but I have no concept of how gripping that device could lead to an accurate measurement of body fat %! It might as well be magic to me, lol.

    I've seen tests where they put clamps at specific points in your body. The idea seems to be that the more skin the clamps can grab, the higher you BF is. Eye tests from people that know their can give you a decent range too. Basically you can be skinny and have a somewhat high BF...I was 5'11'' 165-170 lbs at one point, was in the best shape of my life (lifting lightly and doing cardio) and was given a 16-18% BF estimate.

    Anything lower takes major dedication imo, an active lifestyle alone won't get it done.
    16-18 is terrible tbh for your height/weight. You should've easily been around 12-13.

    Nah, I wouldn't call it terrible like I said I was working out and in good shape. People just don't realize how much it takes to get into the low teens. It's not just about being skinny but you have to have some noticeable muscle on you too tbh.

    Do me a favor - go to a bodybuilding compe ion and ask the contestants their composition. See how many tell you under 4. Probably, not many. Then ask the tools how long they walk around under 7% body fat and I bet you a hundred dollars they tell you not too damn long.

    idiot
    haha- sorry, should have indicated sarcasm more clearly (i thought my fat ronaldo 110% or "bro- do you even lift?" would suffice). *disclaimer* anything under 10% is extremely unhealthy. take it from this med student. i was just responding to be facetious given the misplaced thread
