    Never trust machines

    why is it when i'm on a cardio machine with sensors that measure your heart rate and i'm working reasonably hard at 120bpm then suddenly for no reason it shoots all the way down to 110 - so i increase the level, up the intensity and it goes down to 105

    can you trust these machines at all?

    also my electronic body fat tester said i was 13.8% - i have dieted for 3 weeks with tren/prop and eph, low carbs

    and now my bodyfat has apparantly gone up to 14.4% even though my waist size has reduced, i have lost 2.5Kg and look more vascular

    what is it with these machines
    i hate them

    i agree, those machines are pre-programmed to give u certain reading according to the weight and other stats u punch in.
    in a combination with the speed it makes a calculation and gives u a number that sometimes irrelevant to ur real measures.

    yep i agree

    so what is the best way to measure bodyfat?

    i have calipers but they are even more inacurate
