Hey everyone! I recently bought a Accu Measure body fat caliper and am having trouble getting readings with it. I weigh 146lbs, im 5'7". My arms are 14.5", my chest is 38" and my waist is 32". Im pretty lean, I have a somewhat visible six-pack. Whenever I take measurements with the AccuMeasure it says my skinfold is 4mm thick. When I look on the chart for my age group that is about 4% body fat. Bodybuilders are around there in competition mode. There is no way I'm like that. Does anyone know of any helpful webpages or anything? Thanks!
