Accu-Measure Instructions:

"The site you will use for skinfold measurement is the suprailliac, which is located approximately one inch above the point of your right hipbone"

I agree the picture shows two MM notches which would make 4 MM because 5 notches would be 10 MM. The numbers are in both MM and inches, but her finger is covering the inches measurement.

Their website instuctions are on a pdf called am3k_ideal.pdf , which you can google if desired. These instructions go beyond the video.

[superalihare]

Cheat.... I thought you had to take a skinfold measurement around the chest area!!!!

Let me know if she does

[albertoinfanti]

Yes. One inch = 25,4mm.

The numbers on the dial are in mm (milimeters). As each 10 mm is divided by 5 in the accu measure, each division represents 2mm, so she has 4mm of skinfold.

Honest mistake though.

Remember: units notation never go on plural, so 10 mms = 10 mm*s which is not a length unit.

[SaugaTricks]

You're 31-35?!

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it lol

[Leny1777]

Man I need one of those.

[chrisbear08]

0:48 "And you'll see on the mark *......long ass pause......*, and it just happens to say...

I thought she died

[mattchalek]

plus the charts are made up over 36mm, with no evidence to formulas - try the Defender from Sequoia Fitness if you want a mechanical caliper

[clydecotton]

1 tenth of a millimetre, and pointer finger. this chick is very dumb.

[oudguitar]

Can anyone see this. There is text covering up the entire video? Not very useful

[ELindio17]

@oudguitar click on the CC it will make it come off

[youngsoldier93]

what happens when you can't see your penis?

[brandeno15]

@youngsoldier93 lmao

[hellspawnds]

@youngsoldier93

Then you know you've become a real man, all that beer and chips while sitting in the couch, watching tv, finally payed off!

[scottis0082]

thats plastic right? what about after several clicks that friction will cause the plastic to wear out? will it be as accurate?

[macman0007]

i like this alot



[capsBeatz]

i like how people know how to do it better than her yet still watch this video -_-

[sker214]

Thanks for the tip!

[ciro2481]

she has benn paied off by accumeasure guys to do this commercial

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

I'm glad she just did this because she's 13% here, but on the Omron HBF-306 fat loss monitor she was in here 20s! I knew those weren't accurate. Not like a caliper...

[alexl53]

electric ones aren't always accurate as calipers because of the effect water in the body has on the device

[Archieve00]

@davidbrucemusicvideo I believe the handheld monitor gave the woman's accurate reading. Why? Because it gave a reading for her whole body. She had made it known that the results she has gotten with the caliper was only one for one spot and that you have to do your whole body. Her body fat number would have been higher than 13% if she had done her whole body.

[plyzwthsqrlz]

She does not look like she's 13%.  She looks more 8-10.

[tmcmanus916]

@plyzwthsqrlz woman in general have higher bodyfat then men. So a woman at 13% is like a man at 8%-9%.

[Lazybabyz]

Shanay was on Gladiators!

[plyzwthsqrlz]

Which one?

[Lazybabyz]

American Gladiator, presented by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali. I saw it on Sky One, UK

[rbt809]

great vid but where can i ge that thing??

[Zildjian285]

Amazon

[Recovermin]

That's what I use with my clients. I use the hip measurement but I like to do a second test with the back of the arm, pec/naval line, and thigh measurement to get a better picture.

[Limbsy]

1 tenth of a CENTIMETER

[mikehaydon1]

OMYGOSH!!! I was using it wrongly all this time - I didn't know about the slidy thing. I must have misread the pics and description. So instead of 18% body fat, I'm 13%. That's a relief :)

[Limbsy]

haha

[TiborZutron]

Ha! I did the same thing.

[Dee226]

I use these and they are very accurate. I've had DEXA scanning which confirms the same meaurement I get with the accu-measure callipers.

[krazylacrosse19]

where can i get this done professionally done, just so i know its accurate?

[verbal]

Thanks for the video!

[brucewayne81995]

Not to be rude, but if you even just read the instructions to the accumeasure you will see that your pinch should be betwwen 2 to 3 inches not 1 like you show. The spot you measure is 1 inch. Also, your own measurement was actually 4 mm not 1 tenth of a mm which would make you about 15% body fat.

[ShannonGuy]

Actually, it does say one inch. I have an accumeasure it says "1....put your left index finger on the point of your right hipbone and move up one inch."

[brucewayne81995]

I too have an accumeasure, and am not disputing that it has a measurement that reads 1", but I am saying that the distance for the pinch, that is to say the measurement between your thumb and forefinger before you start the pinch should be 2 1/2". You can use the fully extended calipers as a good gauge to pinch the same amount each time. The inch measurement IS for the site where the center of the pinch should end up, like I explained in my previous comment.

[ShannonGuy]

Ooooooh, that make sense and is actually very helpful - I googled this video in the first place trying to get a decent explanation on how to use this thing - because the accumeasure instructions themselves are not even that clear! Thanks

[brucewayne81995]

No problem. Good luck with the accumeasure. It is a really accurate tool if used properly and consistently every time. I've tested it against the waterweighing (considered the gold standard method) results and always end up whithin 1% of what it shows, as well as the "bod pod" which is supposed to be the most accurate bioimpedic scale. Sorry my original comment was too vague.

[01gt46]

actually it say your fingers should be 2-3 inches apart but the site is 1" above your right hipbone.

[brucewayne81995]

Did you even read my reply?! That's exactly what I've been saying!

[MatheusLegenda]

@brucewayne81995: Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Different than the instruction, plus there's no way it could have only been 1 millimeter. The accumeasure has a block which goes up to 6 millimeters. Lowest she could have gotten was 8 millimeters. I have to get my chart. Did she totally misread the chart then?

She's fine though.

[MatheusLegenda]

@MatheusLegenda Rather, she said it was 1/10 of a millimeter - which is balls to the wall crazy.

[Uouttooo]

@MatheusLegenda

She probably didn't even know what was a millimeter.

[wafflecushioned]

@MatheusLegenda I didn't catch that. haha

[MatheusLegenda]

@wafflecushioned ha Yeah. it's priceless. I can't believe my observation made the top comments. They need to redo this video. Woman is hot though. So, they shouldn't replace this video with some Brigitte Nielson type who knows what a millimeter is.

[wafflecushioned]

@MatheusLegenda Agreed.

[hellspawnds]

@brucewayne81995

Is there a millimeter to percentage converter och formula, on some page? I got 2 mm, does that equal (roughly) 7,5% bf?

[mesenoth]

@brucewayne81995

15% body fat being an amazing position for a woman... but indeed 1/10th of a mm is very small... 1 mm is E-3, so 1/10th of that is... E-4 which is 100 mcm (micrometers) which is 0.00393700787 inches... completely impossible to measure with the accumeasure, or most measuring devices... aside from one of those scientific calipers you can get for a few hundred dollars.

[stephenbry5]

@brucewayne81995 She said " measure one inch from your hip bone" not a one inch pinch

[Kisho3]

Thanks it was very helpful :]
