This was taken at the same time as the 13% body fat reading.

Nothing you can do can scare me....anymore.

(I hope! )

Bioelectrical impedance scales are rubbish, as proven by the OP

Don't say that.
I want to buy one.

I'm old school and only believe in the good ol calipers

Calipers are fine, it's the operator that's the variable.

 

[Thor]

True that! I always have one human that does mine for the past few years now.

Same rule applies to scales I only use one.

Otherwise results varies way too much.

I always used/use the jackson/pollock 7-site method

Good abs man. So we know 13% has given you 100% figures and everything else is crap.

Need to get it done.

 

[Thor]

But abs so only at < 10% ? According to the PT test some years ago

Saw a thread or two here asking for details on doing a DEXA scan.

I looked for a long time to find a DEXA operation in Cape Town that can do a body composition scan and report accurate fat and lean muscle percentage. The DEXA machines at the various hospitals only do bone density.

Eventually found a practice in Durbanville, had it done (13% body fat) and immediately went to Virgin to compare (19%) and then home to check my bioimpedance scale (23%).

You get a pretty cool report with an actual graphic on where on your body the fat sits. As the old saying goes; inside every fat person is a thin one trying to get out. With this scan, you literally see the thin person. smile.gif

You can find them @ http://www.dexacpt.com/

The website does not exist anymore. I wonder if the practice in Durbanville still exists? Can't find anything online. Anyone know what they were/are called?

Or are there any other places in CPT that can do DEXA scan for body composition?

One of the things I love about the internet, its ability of persistance. The OP seems to be still active here so I was hoping he would see my reply and perhaps give us an update, be it a few years later. It would be redundant to start a new thread asking exactly the same question just because a bit of time has passed...and then have info on the same subject scattered all over the place.

Yeah, that one closed long ago. You can try the Sports Science Center in Newlands. They have one.
