    the electronic gadgets for measuring bodyfat aren't all that accurate for bodybuilders in my opinion

    If you can find someone that will do the calipers and do more than a 3 pinch, that would be a better more accurate indicator

    it is difficult to do to yourself as there are spots you won't be able to reach. You would be better calling around some health care facilities or other gyms to see if any of their trainers are skilled with it as the calculations can be tricky also.
