How much "press" in "bone press"?

This is why I don't think bone pressed makes it more accurate you could press harder than other times you could get fat or loose weight and that would affect the BPEL that's why when I measure I do NBPEL and measure from the exact same place each time.

Gaining weight or losing weight affects NBPEL, not BPEL. There will be some slight effect on BPEL, but not much. The location of the bone never changes, the size of your fat pad and location you measure for NBPEL does. If you measure BPEL properly, and measure it properly every time, there is no change in how it works. NBPEL will show you changes in size from differences in even body hydration, BPEL stays a constant and only shows penile length gains.

I understand what your saying but if I put an extra cm of fat above my cock the results will different unless you push harder. Maybe it is more accurate if your overweight of checking for growth but I can see clearly where my penis starts and I think when I measure it's more accurate than BPEL as when I BPEL it's different each time I think due to using different force each time and when I measure NBPEL its always from 4.9-5.1 90% of the time in the last week it's been 5'' on the dot(I know i measure too much).

If you are touching the bone each time it doesn't matter how much fat you have or how hard you are pushing. You are touching the bone and that is the end of the story.

See the below. It's called bone-pressed for a reason, not stick it into your fat pad until whenever. Once you get to the bone, no matter how hard you push and how much pressure you apply, unless you're bending the ruler, you cannot press any further. It's bone after all.

I still think if a 300lbs man measured BPEL then the same man measured again if he lost 150lbs it would be bigger even without PE.

i literally jam the ruler in to the bone, and also remove the curve and sit in the exact same position every time i measure. That way i know im not tricking myself measuring different ways. Absolute no room for error. i couldnt care if my bone pressed is different to anybody elses really.

But that does account for the big difference in my Bp to Nbp considering i have very little fat down there. Normally i take nbp tho, cos that seems more important to me.

I would imagine in studies it was at very most with a light bone press. Would only make sense not to hurt patients. So if i was being competitive, id actually take 2 measurements. One i cant fuck up, and the other i can compare. But! one thing ive been learning off of all the nice people here is not to give a rats arse about the latter point!

That would happen with NBPEL, not BPEL. I think you have those two terms confused for one another.

Okay sorry guys!!! I Have been trying to measure with a measuring tape but I see what you mean now I just checked downstairs and the pubic bone is covered by 0% fat and if I measured with a ruler I would be able to get an accurate measure.
