men and women are different...
MEN-use skin caliper test
chest, lower ab, upper arm (bi-tri), lower back, and quad
Most guys will READ a lower BF if you dont test the back. BUT MOST men hold most BF in their backs...good example is IAM at 9.7% here...
3.5% in arms, 4% in ab area, 6.7% on quads and 14.3% on back...BF is guage NOT a end all to what you SHOULD be...use the mirror as a guage...NOT SOME caliper!

Dom also competes. He just recently took 2007 Mr. Michigan Lightweight title. He's modest.
