[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 228226, member: 43589"] [HEADING=3]I have not done a skin fold caliper reading on my self for a while. I used Jackson/Pollock 3 Caliper Method and just entered the figures in a calculator. I have always had very low body fat and very vascular. Unfortunately due to a long powerlifting career I have a bad case of diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles (DRAM) is characterized by [B]t[/B]hinning and widening of the linea alba, combined with laxity of the ventral abdominal musculature. This causes the midline to “bulge” when intra-abdominal pressure is increased. Looks like I swallowed a football in my case. Ronnie Coleman had to fight with this in his later years of competition. I am very unwilling to do surgery to get this repaired. Anyway, I entered my caliper readings, 1mm on the abdominal, 1mm on the chest and 2mm on the mid thigh.
