Showing posts with the label calipers

Switched to Slim Guide Calipers

I used to use the Accu-Measure skin calipers to measure my skin fold thickness. But I found out that it was getting harder to get accurate measurements because depending on how quickly or slowly I click through the calipers there could be slight variations in the body fat measurements. To make the measurements more reliable, i.e. not depend on the force I use to click it from week to week, I decided to go with Slim Guide Calipers which has a spring to pinch the skin. That way it always uses the same pinch force on my skin and I feel that is more reliable. Already I see that it is showing slightly higher numbers than my Accu-Measure skin calipers, which means that I am slightly fatter than my Accu-Measure made me believe :). That is all for the updates in this post...
