both are accurate.............i am just asking wich one you guys use..........because 8% at pallocks is allready too lean........pallock is generally done in non athlete people.......a think that siri for subcutanius fat is more accurate..........i just would like to know wich one the people that compete in this boards use for there pesonal assement....i personally rely more on the mirror......i know that when i can see my under abs vascularity popping out that i am lean enough.........specially when i start seing vascularity in my upper abs ( with right lighting of course).....
