Digital Fat/Muscle Scales

Hey, wasn’t quiet sure where to post this topic :confused:

Has anyone tried out a set of (BIA) Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis scales ? I just bought one today, it’s pretty interesting to find out all this information. Does anyone know how accurate these are ?

Heres my readings

age - 20
height - 173cm
weight - 75kgs
fat - 16.5% (aiming for 10%)
muscle - 33kgs
water - 61%
bone - 3.7kgs

wasn’t that expensive either, $50AUD :slight_smile:

Do a search for Tanita. They’re one step this side of totally useless not to burst your bubble.

That link at the top of the page that reads “SEARCH” is just invisible to some of you, huh?

Wait, you thought you were the first person on the planet to think of asking about a body fat scale on a bodybuilding board.

Maybe you can dazzle us later by asking a question about powdered protein supplements. I always like to hear new shit.

There are alot of posts on these type of scales. Bottom line: They’re OK for monitoring changes if you use them in a consistant manner. Don’t trust them for absolute readings though.

Another bottom line: Numbers are essentially meaningless. Go with how your clothes fit, how you look in the mirror and, of course, how many women check you out. That’s the real measure of progress.

dude have you not been laid in a very long time ?

Why does it bother you that I posted this so much that you must try to make fun of me ?

Why the hell would I think im the first person on the planet to think of asking about a fat scale ? No I didn’t see a search button as I only started using ‘forums’ about a week ago, didn’t even know it existed. If you don’t have something positive or constructive to reply with fuck off your not wanted.

What a nice way to start off on some forums, I thought this place was alright seems all I’m getting is hostile fucking comments. Pull your finger out of your ass dickhead you smart ass piece of shit. Your attempt at writing something funny completely failed and congratulations your just giving this site a bad rep and turning new people away.
