How to pinch skinfold
Consistency - picking the same spot and applying the same pressure when you pinch your skin and fat - is key to obtaining accurate body fat percentages.
​
Your posture also needs to be consistent. If you pinch your skin and fat while leaning backward, the thickness of the skinfold will be quite a bit different from when you are leaning forward. We recommend measuring while standing straight relaxed.
