Tantiana bodyfat scale?

[JKurz1]

Anyone have one? How much is your scewed by? I'm thinking 4-5% easy.....

I have one and realized it was way off. I got my BF% tested at my gym and the scale was off 8%!!!

They're made for endurance athletes, not bodybuilders and most accurate between 4-6pm. I would say mine is within 3-4% but it fluctuates a lot.

I agree with Dial_tone. I have one. I have to set it on the "athlete setting" even though I don't meet the cardio requirements.
It is supposed to be more accurate between 4 to 6pm. You should urinate before measuring too.
That said. Mine has been showing me anyplace between 17% and 10% over the last week. Last caliper check I was 7.5% and I have way more viens now!
I still like the machine though. It is deadly accurate with wieght. The bf% is more of a snap shot for me. I use it for motivation!

They're made for no-one, and are most accurate when the Moon and Mercury are aligned in a 47 degree angle with Pluto on the fifth Tuesday of February. Endurance athlete or not, they are only useful for couch potatoes that don't care if the reading is 5-10% off at any given moment.

I have yet to meet anyone - bodybuilder, marathon runner, gay bar bartender - anyone for whom they were accurate at least twice in a row.

They suck! Get an accumeasure for $25 and learn how to do an illiac sample. You may be off a little bit depending on your site selection, but normally they are really good and its the consistency that matters when looking to improve!

Ohashi, they are accurate on gay midgets!

My gay midget will be glad to know that. I'll buy him one as a belated Christmas present.

Sweet...

 

[small but working on it]

mine sucks. I just use it for the weight now. I think it works well as long as you want your lbs measured , I thought it was good until I had my bf tested and it was off about 6 or 7 percent for me, I cant remember exactly.
