Title: weighing yourself in the gym
Post by: El_Pajero on November 28, 2008, 02:27:03 PM
I always weigh myself in the gym once a week, mostly on a monday because this is the first trainingsday of the week. In another gym I used to go to they had one of those old scales you have to adjust yourself. The first time I weighed myself there one of the regular gymrats there thought he was funny and put his feet on the machine so i would think i was heavier. then i realised it wasnt ok and turned my head, i saw these 3 guys, one was bald and short, the other two were rather tall, they were laughing at me, and at the same time 2 housewifes behind them started laughing too, so I feel the blood rushing to my head and jump at the dude who was closest to me, i immediately grabbed his throat and said "so you think thats funny ???" he looked scared and the other 2 walk up to me to and say hey leave him alone it was just a joke, so i wanted to attack them, but the gymowner already came in between and i thought no its not worth it to go to jail for and left the gym. but i was so fucking angry these guys thinking they could take advantage of a new guy, well then they are wrong with me, because i dont accept that shit.

how many times do you guys weigh yourself in the gym?

I think he is suggesting that "El Pajero" made a bold claim that he wanted the scale to read 240 so the guy behind thought he'd add his own bodyweight to get him up to 230 or so.

In other countries the sportster doesn't have the "chick bike" stigma it has in the US.

Just wondering why he had to post the one pic that would get him the most attention, and pointing out that he was behind the HA banner just makes it that much more obvious he was looking for attention or trying to show what a badass he is.

Funny story.

But, don't weigh yourself; it means nothing, as the water you are holding may simply fluctuate, causing your weight to fluctuate as well. You won't know for sure whether you've gained/lost fat, water or muscle.

Do a monthly BMI. That will tell you what you really want to know. Hydro is even better. Most chiropractors will let you do it for like $10 per test. Considering the amount of work you're putting into the gym, I'd say that's worth knowing 1)whether it's working, and 2) to what degree it is working. You can buy an accurate machine for a few thousand. Many gyms let you do it for free if you're a member and they have the equipment.

They SHOULD have the equipment, but usually dodge it, because if members get tested regularly they fear that may actually prove their training isn't working!

Is Bruce Lee's small size a disadvantage? No; it is an advantage, because he has a great strength-to-size ratio.

Whatchou talkin bout Willis?

You don't need a machine to record BMI. Unless you count a scale and a ruler as "expensive machines".

BMI is just a function of weight vs height. You mean bodyfat percentage, right?

No, advanced machines give body composition reports. They shouldn't call them "BMI machines," but they do. Maybe the doctors aren't calling them the right thing. They are body composition machines, but the majority of the time the doctors just call it "getting a BMI." Maybe it's easy to say.

It tells percentage of and pounds of fat, ECM (fluids) and BCM (muscle). This is useful because you know what you're gaining and/or losing, of course. It's fun, because you can experiment with your training and figure out what ACTUALLY yields the most muscle. For instance, you can run 2-month experiments on yourself, or even 1 month.

Here we go, this is the exact machine they use:

It is a RJL Systems "Quantum II" body composition analyzer. Apparently my doctors are lazy and just say "he needs a BMI" every time. 15 pages worth of information is printed out to me each time.

Keep in mind not all body composition analyzers are equal. This one is supposed to be an exceptional machine.
You generally get what you pay for; a $40 BCA will not be accurate at all, the $2,000+ ones will be.

Get a DEXA scan, or even caliper measurements from a competent analyst. Far more precise than bioelectrical impedence. Your level of hydration greatly skews results from bioelectrical impedence.

However, BEI is good if you use it every day, at the same time everyday (say, in the morning when you wake up). That way, you can track changes. Who cares if a machine says you're 7%, and another says you're 10%. All that matters is that you see changes week over week.

This is a good point. So, you're basically saying the cheap $60 body composition analyzers would work to let you know whether you're gaining muscle, even if the numbers aren't perfect, right?

As long as it's consistent with itself, right? This reminds me of the scales. For example, I know my scale reads 3 pounds lighter than the actual weight (probably to make fatasses feel better), so I can just add 3 pounds to know the actual weight.

The mirror never lies, if you're fat it shows you, if you're ripped it shows you. If you are delusional, a scale or mirror won't help you. ;)

But it's also good to know if your training is doing what it's supposed to (build muscle), and exactly to what degree.

For instance, the body composition analyzer I use tells you down to the 1/10th of a pound. In other words, if you even gain 1.6 ounces of muscle, you'll know! That's something that's very difficult for the eye to detect. This is very useful, because you can adjust and eventually end up on the most productive routine for you, individually.

Everyone has a mirror, not everyone is interested in dumping 2 grand to find out if they've gained 1.6oz of muscle. ::)

Maybe for $10 a month, or possibly $60 total as snx may have suggested (awaiting an answer).

If you're pouring your time, effort and money into the kitchen and gym in order to build muscle, don't you think it's worth knowing what it's all accomplishing?

I'm never going to compete so what would I care? This is suppose to be fun and a mirror tells me all I need to know.

True.

But, it's a LOT of fun when you try a new program for a month, then look at a body composition analysis to realize it was one of the most physically productive months of your life!

It's very encouraging.

Taking photos is even more effective than the mirror.  Fat can gradually creep up on you, and sometimes you get a shock when you compare a recent photo to an old one.

True. Don't you guys think these tests are accurate, or what's your problem with them?

The tests are useful for comparison of bf over time, but I just find it easier to take photos since I'm not interested in my exact bf %.
