18 - 21%. Have to make some guesses about waist size and build, but I feel pretty good about those numbers.

Booyah! Off by only 1.5%! Although I find it disturbing that I can do that.

What method did they use? Each method has its own flaws....we use one of the worst in the army, neck and abdomen measurements...you have a good BF% right now, keep it up...but why do you want to get so low? 12% is down there.
