Skinfold caliper

[gizmonel]

I just purchased accumeasure skin caliper and want to get some info from someone who has used the analog caliper themselves.

I tested today for first time and i may have done it wrong. I picked up some skin from each area and measured it the total reading was 15% now did i do this correctly or do i actually measure what i can bulge?

I basically took my thumb and index finger and seperated SKIN only not flesh is this correct?

With the infro red thing at gym i get 20%-21%.

This should pretty much explain everything you need to know and allows you to punch in the figures.

I have this site book marked already my question is how much do i pinch? is it just what i can seperate or do i want some meat also? LOL

you know it gives instructions on that...pictures and everything...

Regardless you feel out the fat and pull it away from the muscle.
