The reason I ask this is there seems to be a pretty wide descrepency with my measurements from day to day or room temps, ect...

If it's turtling from being cold is that condidered a flacid length? If it's warmed up from taking a shower is that considered flacid length? If it's warmed up from a shower and I give it 1 slow 5 second pull is that considered flacid length? All these senerios give me a pretty big difference in measurements.

What is the proper senerio for measuring flacid? Also is 'bone pressed' the right way or just lightly laying the ruler against your skin? I dont have much body fat at all but the difference in BP and non BP is as much as 1/2" with me.

Like to hear a bunch of replies on this!

Thanks,

Fitboy
