Go all the way to 7 and you start measuring tricepts, Midaxallry, Subralliac, etc. What is all that? There’s a video below.

Parrillo Caliper Formula – An accurate method involving 9 skinfold measurements. A scale and caliper is required. The % is calculated by calf, abdomen, chest, thigh, bicept, tricept, subscapular, suprailiac, and lower back fat measurements.

Durnin/Womersley Calper Formula – Very common and relatively simple scaliper test. You will need to know your weight and four caliper measurements including; bicept, tricept, subscapular, and suprailiac.

Navy Tape Measure Formula – Considered an accurate method that does not use a caliper. All that is needed is a scale and measuring tape. You will be asked to enter your height, weight, neck size, and abdomen circumference. Sixpack Body Fat Calculator .

Breakthrough That Could Reverse Climate Change with Scaling Investments

  This past September ClimeWorks launched the world’s largest “carbon sucking” plant known as Orca designed to reverse global warming. It utilizes geothermal power from the Hengell volcano in Iceland to propel giant fans that suck air out of the atmosphere and pass it through a filter. The filter is then released of the CO2 that is subsequently converted into a carbonate and buried permanently beneath the rock layer. It is estimated that this plant prototype is capable of removing CO2 from the atmosphere that is the equivalent of 870 cars.   The beauty of operating these energy intensive direct air capture plants in Iceland is that there is virtually unlimited sustainable geothermal power in the country due to the volcanic landscape. It is estimated that the new full scale direct air capture plant that is currently under development could do the work equivalent to 40 million trees. In order to bring the planet to NetZero carbon emissions it is estimated that the scale of t...
