    Those dumb ass BF calculators that you hold onto like a video game controller work like shit!! I use it just for fun if I am bored waiting for my partner... and have used one about 1000 times over the years!! They are like one time 14% the next day 18% the next day 9% etc etc.. need to go to GNC and get calipers and then go online and find directions on where to check your skin folds and use a t least a 5 point fold test. 7 point fold test is even more accurate!
    As far as needles...
    Glute (Ass) 1.5" 22,23,25gauge
    Everywhere else 1" 22-25gauge

    I only shoot glutes cause I feel there are too many arteries and veins in the thighs, calves shoulders, tri, bi's etc.
    Although if I was going to use another spot I would use a 1" 23ga and do Shoulders!
    Do not use the same spot more than 1X a week!
    As far as anything else.. I think you need to do some more research and find that out for yourself!

    I think it can actually hurt your ngains in some instances.. Unless you can not take the bloat, or you are really prone to gyno, I would maybe have it on hand but i would not use it unless its needed!
