Can you estimate my bf%?
Hey guys. So I was just wondering what you think my current bodyfat percentage is. I have one of those scales where it says your bodyfat, but I have no idea if it's accurate or not (it says its 12% bf). I have a body caliper (which I don't really know how to use at all) and it says 18% bf? not sure though. :P

I'm 5'8, currently 144 lbs.

Tell me what you think. Thanks.

No one gives a sh*t if you see the glass half full or half empty. Its how you fill the glass back up that matters.
