How accurate are the inbody scan machines?

[Xpliot]

Just got my results back and I’m sitting at 193lbs and 10% bf and I can slightly see my my abs and obliques outlines I guess. The pictures not very good that I posted… Also an update to my last post about my heart rate and anxiety. My doctor said it was just anxiety and hormones and that it’s nothing to worry about.

They have a pretty wide margin of error.

I hate to burst your bubble… but you are probably well above 10%.

Na I figured as much lol and I’ve been cutting again after doing 6 weeks of a maintenance phase and doing more cardio and do feel like I’m shaping up more but no where near 10%

 

[NeuroRN]

Keep up the good work buddy. It’s a long game.

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks man! And I def will!

 

[Bigmurph6]

I would say 13-16 depending but that’s still great

 

[NeuroRN]

Those inbodys have pretty specific windows of time and circumstance where they want you to scan for “optimized” results.

Ohhh lol yeah I just do it every now and then and the weight was off and I just figured the a whole machine was off cause my scale and the scale at the gym are accurate and it said I gained like 4 pounds of muscle in a month so I was like man there’s no way

 

[NeuroRN]

Hahah yeah they can be off the wall sometimes. But it’s a good “ballpark” sometimes too.

Agreed. I have one at my gym and they SUCK! I’d put you at 12-14%. Look good the bud. Get after it

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks man!

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah that’s what I pretty much assumed.

I’ve never used one or checked my BMI…also @Xpliot I can admire the way you handled the bursting of your bubble, I’m not so good at it

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks lol I kinda just figured if I was at ten percent I’d have something more visible. I’m getting close tho I feel like

 

[Bigmurph6]

Just keep doing what your doing brother if its working don’t fix it I think that you look great.
Honestly most aren’t even close to your bf% im probably at 20% myself right now guessing because I don’t get that lean I carry some weight so everyone is different just keep hitting it hard and the goals you set will definitely happen.

Just curious 193lb 15% bf will say how tall brother? 5’9"?

 

[Xpliot]

I def will! And I believe I’m 5”10 or 5 “11 also idk if you can see it or not but on my shoulder I’m getting a new stretch mark. I have a ton around my armpits as well. Is there a way to prevent that?

 

[Bigmurph6]

I would say coco butter I believe is what pregnant women use but im not sure exactly what’s best for that

 

[Xpliot]

Okay I will try that! I feel like it means in growing tho! Idk how haha

 

[Bigmurph6]

If you’re working out your definitely growing brother now we have that picture 6 months from now you can compare that to where you are then and you will really get to see progress I look forward to seeing future pictures

 

[Xpliot]

Me too! Appreciate it!
