I think they did the pinch method to me in boot camp back in '92 - and I think they used an instrument and they did it on my upper arm. That was so long ago (my 20yr anniversary of boot camp was this past May), I cant believe I can even begin to remember it! Seemed weird then and it seems weird now, but what did/do I know, I aint no scientist! lol
My Wii Fit Plus and the VA go by my height and weight to determine my BMI now, but I think a lot of health clubs, personal trainers, sports organizations, etc still use the pinch method - I wonder if maybe it gives a more accurate measurement.
