Okay so i know there is bust hips waist thigh and calf but is there any other ones? what is it called a couple inches down from your belly button?

Only take measurements that have an obvious largest point imo, otherwise it will be hard to be consistent. My bodybugg website uses measurements to guess bodyfat % and it asks for: forearm, bicep, thigh, calf, waist, hips, neck, chest

I also do biceps, underbust, and neck measurements.

lol I love that the book says 20% and the navy says 28%. My bodybugg calculation (based off of measurements and an unstated formula) gives 21%, my bathroom scale gives 25% I just bought some calipers on Amazon, I'll bet that they will give me some completely new number... Maybe I'll do bodpod testing when I get where I think I wanna be just out of curiousity.

What kind of weight scale you have?
I have a Taylor scale. It gave 43% but on this test I'm 28% fat.

bust = chest
midriff = 1" below chest
waist = most narrow part
upper hip = your belly, about 1-2" below bellybutton
lower hip = widest part (includes bum)
