    I've done thousands of them.
    Abdominal: Vertical Fold
    Triceps: Vertical Fold
    Biceps: Vertical Fold
    Chest: Diagonal Fold
    Medial Calf: Vertical Fold
    Midaxillary: Vertical Fold
    Subscapular: Diagonal Fold
    Suprailiac: Diagonal Fold
    Thigh: Vertical Fold

    You have to have someone else perform these on you. Any fitness facility "should" have trained professionals, but. . .
    Good Luck and if you have any other questions, let me know

    so got any pictures of the area for the sites?

    Thanks a whole lot dude, I was about to just tell the person who wanted it to just deal with the what is what.

    So what is the calculations?
    How did you learn about this?

    I work at a YMCA and we do a 7 site. I am also training for an ACE cert in October and BA in Exercise/next year. No one I have ran into has seen or heard of it.

    Hey man, these are ACSM guidelines. American College of Sports Medicine. Not for sure where to get pics, books have them. Do a search for ACSM on the web and see if you can find them. The calculations are adapted from Jackson and Pollock, they are long as crap. Make sure the number of sites you test correlate with the formula you use. What school do you go to? Ask your professors, if they haven't heard of ACSM then change school, hehe.
