Hey guys I'm was wondering if anyone could help me out and recommend and good set of fat calipers. I'm in cutting mode right now trying to drop a good amount of body weight. I have lost about 20 pounds in about 2 and a half months which I think is ok but I'm nowhere near my goal weight. I have started adding a lot more wieght training into my routine and realize that just using the scale to determine my weight loss is nowhere near accurate enough. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good pair to help track my losses more. And also is that what I should be doing? Or is there other ways to track fat loss?

Results using fat calipers can be pretty accurate or really off.. It takes training and experience; and if you try to do it on yourself you will be wayyy off.

Those handheld electrical ones are the least accurate; but if you compare tests under the exact same conditions (they depend on water for their measurement; so supplememts, food, water, training all affect the measurement) it may be helpful.

You could find somebody well experienced w/ the calipers to do it; or find a hydrostatic reading center (most accurate, most expensive - like $150, usually at Universities.)
