If you're going to have somebody measure you using calipers...A) get as many site measurements as possible. (I get 9), and B) have them write down those measurements, and at which locations they were taken, for your own records.
There are companies out there that will put together a diet plan to meet your goals, based on your current body comp. To do so accurately though...they need to know what your present bf% is. If you provide the actual measurements, and the number of sites calipered, it allows them to get a better overall view on thier own.

If there is a college near you that offers a Kinesiology program, they will more than likely do it for you.Originally posted by kitadog

I live by th Hydrostat. I get one evry 90 days like clock work. It costs me 35.00 each session and it is good to the hundredth of a decimal when measuring bodyfat. Just make sure the water temp is at least one degree plus or minus from your previous test.
There great.

i use a calipers alsoDo you know where one builds action, stamina and guts? In the gym under the iron day after day, forever without fail or excuses or grumbling, that’s where. It’s true. I read a study somewhere and that’s what it said, really.
There’d be fewer battles, less drugs and less crime and more happy moms and dads if we all lifted weights… let’s face it. In what recent medical journal was I reading that?
