Need help on body fat calipers

zak786 Posts: 183 Joined: 2005/03/25	2005/09/10, 06:54 PM After 6 months of training I just got sum body fat calipers and havent used them ever. When I pinch the fat i read a measurement in millimeters. How can I find the actual percentage? And what are the equations? Thanks -------------- \"Liyytttweighttttttt !!!

It will tell you where to measure and figure out your % body fat for you. You do need someone to take the measurements for you though. I hope this helped.
