show where to place my tape measure when I do measure ;)

I am in need keeping a good record of where exactly I put the tape measure at and if I'm dressed or not.

For the life of me I can not remember if I measure nude or in workout clothes or does clothing matter?

My main focus is to get an image so I can print it up that tells me where exactly I need to put the tape measure at.

Also I can't find my body fat calipers they were the old accufit ones and last time I let my kids play with it and now I can't find it. x(

Anyone know where I can get a good body fat caliper at? Or which they would recommend that are easier to use ?


Thanks in Advance!

Hi Vilma,

I found this on the web for you.

Instructions

The tape should be pulled to where it is lying flat against the skin all the way around. Like with taking skin fold measurements, your goal with body tape measurements is consistency. Take them the same every time you take them and you will get an accurate view of your progress with each body part.

Sites for Body tape Measurements Below and pictured to the right is a list of suggested sites to regularly measure. (sorry the picture does not show on the forum) here is the link: www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/body-tape-measurements.html - 29k -

Neck - Standing, measure your neck at its largest girth, right over the Adam's apple.

Shoulder - Standing, can either be measured as a straight line from the largest points on each shoulder across the chest or as a girth measurement all the way around the body.

Bicep - Measure at its largest girth, can be taken relaxed with arms at side, relaxed with arm bent, flexed with arm bent or all three.

Chest - Standing, measure with breath out just above the nipple.

Waist - Standing, measure at the narrowest point or at the midway point between the top of the hip bone and the bottom of the rib cage.

Hips - Measure at the largest girth, where the butt is protruding the greatest.

Thigh - Standing, measure at the largest girth, just below the butt.

Calf - Seated if you are measuring yourself or standing if you have a partner, measure at its largest girth.

Your body tape measurements will tell you where you are gaining but you still won't know what you are gaining.

Alone, body tape measurements aren't enough. You need to know what is responsible for your increased size, is it fat or is it muscle? You find this out by tracking your body fat percentage.

You can learn all about how to get a good estimation of your body fat on the body fat percentages page.

Have a great day.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
