Bodyfat scales

[Jguns]

Does anyone have any experience with those bodyfat scales? I just bought one, and according to it I am way fatter than I thought. I wonder how accurate they are.

If you have any appreciable muscle mass they will give you a false reading. Muscle holds a lot of water, this can give you inconsistent reading. A bber friend of mine, 230, 11% was telling me about how he would be 10-11% in the morning on that scale(Tanita or something) and his bf would increase to about 16-17% before bed. I suggest you return it if you can.

This is the best way to estimate Bf percentage btw.

18% BF, 38 inch waist that does not hang down

15% Cuts in midsections are visible but not distinct

12% 6 pack when flexing not very deep or detailed

10% Deep 6 pack

9% "Christmas tree" definition in the lower back

6% Striated glutes

they are not. two years ago when they came out I bought a Tanita 310 commercial model $2400. Two nights ago I weighed one of my competitors who is exactly one week out and visably at 5%. It read 17%.
