That would be because it was filled with false info…like[quote]That population set would have been measured with underwater weighing, something you felt the need to put in quotes the last time I mentioned it to you. [/quote]
Most of those people tested before the 1980’s were by no means tested by underwater weighing…which calls into question the data set itself.[/quote]
Oh? So what were they using as the gold standard to determine the bodyfat of the population set the equations are based on?
A simple “I have no education in this methodology” would suffice.[/quote]
You can bet that if a percentage was known in the era of the 60’s and 70’s it was a caliper test, not under water weighing.[/quote]
I don’t even know what this means, and this is clearly above your level. Jackson/Pollock did not use caliper testing to develop the equations for…caliper testing. They used DEXA or hydrostatic weighing to cross compare their compartment models for bodyfat, which are quadratic formulas. I’m really not sure you understand what skinfold methodology even entails, so I suggest you read more.
All that said, you’re making my point for me. It’s an inaccurate tool for muscular people, especially considering that the equations are dated. Yet you are here arguing about it and saying you know your bodyfat because you used an inaccurate test.
Oh, and are you going to divulge whether this was 3-site or 7? I know you didn’t have any more measurement sites than that…don’t want to be too accurate, now.
