Hey bros I posted this in AR Spa this morning and nobody responded so I decided to post it here. I'm about to get work and run to Wally World so I was needing a few responses before I bought it:
Has anyone ever bought or used one this new weight scales that also measure BF? Your thoughts or experiences will be helpful I am considering buying one.
If youi're referring to a Tanita scale, they are worthless if you have any amount of muscle
wow thats pretty cool, id like to hear some info as well.
does anyone know if they're accurate???
If Tanita is the name brand then this is not the one..My wife had her BF measured at Curves the other day and the scales were different by only 1%. That should have answered my question but im alot thicker than she is so I was hoping someone could help.Quote:

those scales are total garbage for measuring a person's BF level...it said I only had 8%, when in reality I would be more around 12 - 13 %
those scales are based on the average person im pretty sure. I got on one once and it said i had upward teens bodyfat, which it was really around 11. not for a bodybuilder....get the calipers haha
