thank you for the comment - thats very kind - not all us bodybuilders look like scary amazons!!

I have a personal trainer who does mine with calipers - the same person, the same calipers, the same sites at about the same time of day so it is as consistant as possible.

As far as the recommendation from the doc regarding bodyfat - I know everyone is different and certainly they are the experts - but I have had no health problems related to low body fat and I find I am very rarely sick at all. I have read a lot about the benefits of a low calorie diet and longevity so there is that train of thought also. I have had my bone density done also because I know thats a concern and it seems to be fine. I find that I feel so much better physically and mentally this way - but again everyone is different.
