So how do you do this because I haven't got a clue!

Thanks

in my gym they have a machine and they attach a wire to your feet and hand and through it goes an electrical pulse. This gives a reading which shows my muscle mass, fat and water amounts/percentage.

Supposed to be very accurate. Otherwise you could try calipers!

some gyms/doctors will do it for you,with calipers it takes about 5 mins.

Thanks for the advice and link. I think I'm going to ask the gym to see if they can do the stuff to give me my bf%, and then I'll get the equipment that was in that thread later on.

Thanks a lot!
