The value of Visual training
If i see myself as a 250 rock hard bodybuilder with 22 inch arms then it only a matter of time before my body catches up with my state of mind.
WTF What's with that....This aint sissy squats. Go down below parallel.
Where I came from: 225lbs, 13"bis, 42"waist, 5'10"
Where I'm going to: 250-300lbs, 23-24"bis, 28-32"waist 6'2"
Right there smack in the middle. Not far from my hopes and dreams

Could someone post a picture of where you pinch or something. I get differences of 2-3% depending where I take it. I didnt find the manual that came with the calipers very helpful

2-3% accuracy is about the best you can hope for with calipers. Just be sure to measure yourself in the same place every time, that way you can accurately track your progress.Originally posted by Leanbean

I use the Acumeasure calipers but don't use the chart.
I only track the actual mm reading I get.
It will be cool to one day say I have single digit body fat as long as the reading is going down I'm happy. The actual %bf doesn't really mean much to me."Pain is a state of MIND -

This one is my own.
