Hand Held Body Fat Monitors???

[Themachine01]

Has anyone used these? I was 240lbs at 5'11 4 months ago before I started cutting up. I used the fat monitor at that time and it read 22%bf which was believable. Now 4 months later, at 215, just finished my cutting cycle, I was guessing that I was around 11-12% BF, even my doc said i looked around 11%. I used the fat monitor last night and it fucking read 19%????? Are these machines that inacurate?

I havent used them first hand but I wouldnt trust em. Go get yourself tested.

Depends......you can go to your local Health club/gym and get the skin fold test or you can seek out a place that does hydrostatic testing.

I have heard that the hydrostactic testing is more accurate than the skin fold. The skin fold will give you a pretty good idea of where you are, assuming the person doing it is not a knuckle head.

Then you can compare it to you hand held machine.
