BF%/BMI

Doe anyone know how accurate the "bmi machines" in the gyms are. The most effective way I know is the callipars but they are mearly impossible to get by.

They don't generally do BMI machines, normally infrared body fat machines (like at VA) - they are shit, as is BMI if you have any appreciable amount of muscle mass.

Stick with decent calipers and get them done by someone who has preferably done it a lot. Get the same person to do it each time as well for consistency.

Thanx man. I thought as much, as the reading I get from that machine seems very unacurate comparing to the last reading I had with a callipar.
