The most accurate method is supposed to be hydrostatic. I had this done on Monday.
I've had calipers, electronic impedance scale and now hydro. The calipers waaaaay underestimated my BF% compared to the hydro and the scale. They were within 1% of each other.
The hydro test was $25. Honestly it sucked, I got in this tank and sat on this plastic "chair" and then blew out all my air and went underwater. When all your air is out you immediatly need to surface and get air but you can't. You have to be perfectly still so she can read the weight. She tapped on the rail to let me know I can come up which is 1 second after I began to absolutely panic that I was going to drown. lol
I did it 4 times.
