BF Accu-Measure Caliper

[jay99]

i just used this and according to it i have 2.5% bodyfat.. does that sound right? lol i dont eat perfect.. i can bench about 135... i weight about 145...i thought i would have like 13% bf

Maybe it was 25%

But seriously, I doubt you have 2.5% bodyfat, you wouldn't want that anyway. You probably didn't do the measurement correctly. I found a sticky a while back (can't remember under which section) on properly using calipers.

when i measure.. i read under the mm and its after the 0 mark and between the 1 and 2 (the ticks)
