![]() Do u no of any on the net? I’m not after the ones that you input your measures as I find they’re out by a bit ![]() ![]() I once saw a pro bb for a consultation and he pulled out a chart that converted the mm’s over. I have a set of metal calipers and I can’t seem to find anywhere to convert the mm into %. I’m after a bit of help trying to find a body fat calculation chart. Usually it is the person performing the test that is the reason for inaccurate calipers… not the calipers themselves. Because there are al lot of calipers and the prices differ enormously and I know that not every caliper gives an accurate reading. Does that mean it’s more accurate?Īctually, if you pinch hard as you can it should be about the same.Ĭan you recommend a caliper where you can measure your body fat by yourself which isn’t to expensive but is accurate. Where do you draw the line? To take it to the extreme: if you measured the ab skinfold whilst sitting you’d probably get a higher reading. They measure low to begin with, besides adipose tissue contains connective tissue thus it’s part of the adipose… the same way that connective tissue in muscle is part of muscle I heard that this would give a false reading by including too much connective tissue in the measurement. And then when you get your reading… at 2-3% to that and you are near your actual bodyfat.ĭo you do your own readings with caliper or does somebody else do it? I want to do it myself but don’t know how exactly. You have to pinch as much as you possibly can, not lightly pinch but get as much as you can. What is the proper method to determine bodyfat % using a skinfold calipers ?
