...Okay I'm confused by their calculator. I played around with the numbers, and if I leave the lower body numbers the same but increase the bench 1RM, the bf℅ goes up. Wtf?

I already said that calculator is fake. I think you could get an accurate bodyfat measure using a combination of ethnicity, parillo, skinfold, lifts, bone structure, etc etc.

But we live in the dark ages.

Garlic doesn't even lift anymore and even though his dad Mr Europe I think he may have fat glutes and soft lower back. A la BTM. I am 15% and I presented a perfect XMAS tree lower back and shredded delts in my log. This euro ain't got but one shred on his delts and chest.
