  3. Gaining mass

    You measure your neck, waist, height and weight and it gives you a fairly good ballpark of your bodyfat, especially if you weight and measure yourself at the same time of day every time you check it. You punch those numbers into a calculator (I don't have enough posts to give you a link, but...

  4. Gaining mass

    Yeah if it's what I'm thinking of, those scales use a low-grade electrical pulse to measure bodyfat and it's highly variable based on things such as hydration. It's exceedingly unlikely you are actually fluctuating 3% bodyfat in a short period of time on a regular basis. Use a tape test...
