Nice definition. Argueable in argueable in terms of the most 'accurate' method to calculate bodyfat, but how did you come to the 10.9% figure? --
PS: Your figure seems accurate.

Use calipers for progress, don't worry about your BF %. It really doesn't matter at all. If someone is as cut up as someone at 5% BF then what does a numeric digit matter.

So true, I'd say you look somewhere around the 10-11% range. Why don't you take a better pic so we can see what you actually look like.

at 7-9% it's hard to tell, unless you have at least one accurate measurement in that range.
You might hold just a bit more or less fat in the lower back, for instance, and what looks like 10% to one person looks like 7% to another based on where they hold fat.
I'd say lower than 11% - more like 8-9%, BUT I know with good lighting ect, I can make myself look at lot lower BF in a picture than I actually am.
