Some of you guys have in your sig your body fat percentage your vert jump running and standing and some other info. I was wondering how you get this information because it would be useful to me when i start doing VJB next week.

I tried the 'How Do You Measure Up?' by §P¥ÐÄ, but the link doesnt work. Are there any other programs or sites that will do the same, because i want to see how much i improve and stuff.

Thanks

go on Google and type in body fat percentage and it will come up with a list of sites where u can test it. for the vertical jump, an easy way to measure it is to hold a piece of chalk in you hand and reach as high as u can on a wall, then u dram a dot with the chalk. then jump as high as u can and mark on the wall with the chalk wen u get to the top of your jump. measure the difference between the marks and that is your vertical jump. you can also use a machine thing where there is a big line on the wall with measurements on it. u reach up and make it so your hand is on the zero wen you are reaching as high as u can, then jump and touch the highest point on the machine that u can and that is your vertical jump. they look something like this but this is an expoensive version with velcrow strips http://www.performbetter.com/detail....tegoryID_E_198

u can find them in most gyms or probably in your sports stadium at school.

Those calculators are not accurate... it only measures waist and its not accuarte.

look at the chart in VJB or its best if your school have a scale that measures bf%

ok thanks, My schools cheap so it doesn't have any good equipment. I'll do the chalk method.
