About these stats
There are a few things to keep in mind as you browse my stats and measurements:
- My tape measurements are taken “cold” (no pump) and flexed.
- Measurements are rounded down to the nearest quarter of an inch. For example, if my arm measures between 18 inches and 18.24 inches, it will be recorded as 18 inches until I reach a full 18.25 inches.
- The body fat percentages shown below are reported to the best of my ability. Some of them may be off–especially those prior to January 1, 2007–as the method(s) I was using to measure my body fat proved to be fairly inaccurate. I’m now using a more accurate 7-point skinfold test.
Equipment used
If you are at all serious about health, fitness and body re-composition these tools are must-have items. They are all inexpensive and will last for a very long time. With the exception of the skin fold caliper (the one I use was discontinued), these are the exact products I’ve been using for years.
- The EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale.
- The MyoTape soft tape measure.
- A basic Skin Fold Caliper.
- The Timex Ironman heart rate monitor.

Hi John,
I’ve just purchased a MyoTape for taking measurements.
My question is on how to properly measure the waist. I understand as long as you do the same area each time, it really wont matter – as long as you are consistent. i.e. measure around belly button, smallest part of waist, etc..
However I was wondering what you would suggest for the least amount of variance – such as, should you flex your ab muscles? be fully relaxed? breath out fully? i tried flexing abs, but then it seems one time was slightly sucked in, the other was not.
Any advice would be great!
thanks.

I find that I get the most consistent results when I tighten my abs (no sucking in, though!)
