How the hell do I...

Hoe the hell do I use these calipers, I got these from Netrition, they are just regular calpiers that have inches & millimeters for skinfold measurement. How can I figure out what my body fat % is. I honestly have no idea and can't figure out how to use these. Is there some kind of formula you use to come to that #??? Help guys!!!

Do a web search brother. There's all kinds of 3 site, 5 site, etc. tests you can use. For me, beside naval, chest, and quad works pretty well, though does the single reading test taken just above your pelvic bone.

I understand about the site tests bro, thanks for responding, but that isn't the prob. One I have taken the measurments in millimeters, how do I figure out the percentage???

You add it all up usually and there should be some tablew of comparison. You need to search the web for that table or whatever.
