Parrillo Body Fat (9 sites)
Designed specifically for athletes and bodybuilders. Most accurate for trained individuals with well-developed musculature.
Who should use this method?
- Best for: Athletes, bodybuilders, people with 5+ years of consistent training
- Why: Jackson-Pollock underestimates body fat in trained athletes — Parrillo corrects this
- Formula: BF = 27 x (sum of 9 skinfolds mm) / body weight (kg)
- Measure on the right side of the body
- Grasp only skin and subcutaneous fat, not muscle
- Take 2-3 measurements per site and use the average
- Recommended: compare with Jackson-Pollock 7-site for reference
