Forget what any form of measurement says ... come in looking your BEST and that's that's!
I had two different devices read 3.0% and I didn't believe either. I actually laughed when I saw the paper. You can use BF measurements as a relative measure only ... never trust it as an absolute.

Judges won't ask your bf perc. They will look for feathered quads, gnarly hams, striated glutes and vascular graininess. Keep playing with diet until your insides are visble through your skin!

Yup, and depending on your genetics you can hold more fat in different places/around organs so your percentage means nothing. You could read 3% and the guy next to you could be 4.5% and still look leaner (possibly). The judges don't read your bodyfat percentage, they go off what they see in front of them.

Use the mirror as your measurement.

I echo most. Numbers are for monitoring progress only. Come in as ripped as you possibly can. That is that. Be your best!

It is awesome. Always there to push each other . Sharing a similar goal is great for eating right.

I'd love to be 5.5% 4 weeks out.
That is great, but ultimately there is not a front relaxed caliper pose..
Keep at it and stay focused. You end up where you end up..
Doing your best, is the true reward..
