I believe that is the Skulpt. It takes several measurements bilaterally - biceps, pecs, abs, quads, glutes - and also calculates muscle quality, not really sure what that is. They’re $100 or so. I bought one six months ago and used it once. I lost the spray bottle (you have to spray before each measurement). The ad was a bit of a testimonial by a jacked dude that had just gotten a Dexa and they were within a tenth of a percent or so.
I did like the Skulpt, keep planning to break it out and check it again. @Serge_A_Storms also uses one and he is pretty jacked, seems to trust and like it. I don’t mean to imply that the use of any BF calculator = jackedness, just saying.
Sharing my experience here, not preaching at all, but what does BF really matter? If I look like Fred Flinstone but my calipers tell me I am 10%, what’s the point?
If I look like Bam Bam but my BIA tells me I am 20%, what’s the point?
Using a tool consistently is more important, in my opinion. For example, I’ve had two scales that I have used over the last three years, and am currently using the Omron. I fucked with the parameters because I felt the scale was wrong. my first scale had me at 21% three years ago (down from 26%) when I felt I was closer to 18%, so I changed my age to what reflected a BF% I was comfortable with. That age was 34.
Later, as I got leaner, I tweaked the parameters again because the scale had me leaner than the mirror said.
Then, new scale, monkey with that shit. Then, hand held, monkey with that shit.
Bottom line, my numbers from three years ago are not relevant because I am now using the handheld with my real age.
So, two years ago, when I was 190 @15%, what does that really mean? I have no idea because I don’t have that scale anymore, my caliper measurements were around twelve, and my pics, which I do have, tell me I was about 16%
The guy that measured me 18 months ago is a SSC and a DPT at a local university, and he offered me a Dexa and a water tank (supposedly the gold standard). I thought about taking him up on it but decided against it - waste of time. All that really matters to me is how I look because I am just a shallow bitch. A mirror tells me that in a second.
TMI?
My apologies.
