Skinfold Testing
If you've never had a skinfold done under DP / w8 then you should read this first. Minimum 7 site...9 site is optional. Most gyms only offer a 3 or 4 site test...so make sure you know the extra sites (the trainers might not) and make sure you ask for the extra sites to be read. They don't need to figure out your BF% ...we just want the readings.
If you don't have a competent trainer and/or gym you can go to, go to a university or college.

Also....I think it's both interesting and I like how people are posting and we are "looking" at MM's ONLY so far!
I/we don't care if we ever see a "BF%" (although at the end, a before and after may be useful)..but rather NOW can see the CHANGES, site by site as they are going to occur

Because everyone is different and everyone carries their fat in a different way.

Not really...you certainly can't do a full 7 or 9 site test
