Which Calipers?

[crossy]

Okey Dokey need to get my BF% sorted and i havent a clue what it is. SO im looking at getting calipers as they seem to be the most accurate way of measuring in my price range.

These any good?

IMHO, No they are not. The only thing I can see being THAT accurate would be hydrostatic weighing ...

If you have someone who knows how to use them do it for you, then MAYBE that will be a good comparision to a self-pinch ... Doing a tricep pinch yourself is kinda hard, may skew results, but so can your diet & training the previous day, or if you pinch the wrong place etc. I like to take pinches preferably on empty BEFORE training in the AM. Have your trainer guy do it & see how your results compares to his.

Just another way to track your progress but if that # is 'off' and the mirror, clothes, & pictures tell you a different story, don't be upset about it.

Thanks i just wanted a rough estimate really so they should do the job.

Yep ... Good choice. When you start to lean out more you may want to be more accurate. Until then, have fun!

You can take 3 measurements & average the %'s as well
