Give or take 1% bf doesn't really matter, the change is what's important, which is why a $15 BF caliper is a good investment IMO.

I've never heard of a caliper, so I Googled it and it came up with little rulers and construction websites. Then I was like "wtf?? how does that measure body fat?" so I came back to your post and realized it was a "body fat caliper". -_-!
