Anyone here do these regularly? I did one for the first time yesterday. Although, i assume these arent the most accurate ways of measuring, how far off do you think these are? I was surprised at my BF percentage. It came back 15.7%. I was honestly thinking closer to 20%, but ive never done any measuring before, so i was basing it off of those pics you see online.

What are the boards opinions of these types of tracking?

i personally like them and find them within 1% of the dexa scans I have had performed. Now i did each one first thing after pissing and before drinking or eating anything. Alos was on a really consistant diet everytime and made sure i timed everything the same everytime.

sounds like you need to do more training and less eating...

I get one pretty regularly to track my progress after cutting/bulking. It’s definitely a good tool for this. My gym has one, so it’s always convenient.

They seem pretty legitimate. I’d say between 1-2% IMO. Just make sure to put your real height in there (without shoes) for a more accurate reading. Adding to your height makes the results a lot less accurate.

Pretty inaccurate as are DEXA scans. Honestly best bet is caliper method.

How much does dehydration affect the results? They have one at Reds and finally decided to give it a try, came it at 222lbs with 11% bf.
