I know this thread has fizzled out but thought I'd add a little note. This year, just before the UKBFF Britain, I had my skinfolds done (as I do anyway periodically). Using a four site method of bicep, tricep, sub scapular & supra illiac, the sum total of all four sites came to 4mm. All the charts I have put me so far off the scale at the bottom end I cannot accurately say what it was, but the chart goes down to 10mm, where for my age it quoted a BF% of 5.05.
James Llewellin has a pic of me on his fridge door taken backstage last year at Leamington when I was in the same condition. I presume he uses it as an appetite supressant!

It's not nice when you get that low, sitting down becomes painful as there's no padding anywhere. Even the soles of the feet can suffer. Nice. Coupled with that, my wife won't go near me so I can forget about any 'physical contact' till I'm fat & happy again!
