You want to get yer self a set of callipers off ebay mate cos those machines are never accurate, you can be heavier than it is programmed for your age and height but still be leaner due to increased muscle mass.

The pro's, persi trainers and physio's worth their salt will use callipers.

£2.

Even the good ones are only about £20.

Yeah the machines are a bit of a con because you've got to physically measure body fat (remember the weight watchers slogan years ago "pinch an inch") rather than guess against an average based on weight/height/age, they don't account for sports persons at all.

The perfect example is if an Olympian body builder like Ronnie Coleman stood on one of those machines weighing 20 stone at 6 feet tall ripped to shreds in show condition the machine would say he was obese when in reality his weight comes from solid muscle mass and his real body fat percentage would be around 5%.

Lol, exactly.

To be honest at a quid a pop it's easy money for the gym from folk who don't know any better, it's a noob scam.

If you excuse the fan in the back ground this guy explains taking measurements quite well.

You'll prolly need the missus to take measurements for you to do it properly.

A big bowl of porridge and a shake you'll be right lad, get on it lol.

Cross fit is a good do, you should really be training your whole body in ways it naturally moves as I'm sure you know.
The gym rat, compound movement mentality that took hold before Arnolds day is old news.
