Afternoon all

Interested to know who checks/has had checked their body fat and muscle mass percentages? I have an Omron scale which is supposed to be quite accurate and uses Bioelectric Impedance Analysis. But such scales are often considered inaccurate.

I know Caliper testing is commonly used but the results are dependant on the skill set of the person doing th measuring. To be frank most of the PT's at the gym seem to know very little so I'm not sure I trust them for an accurate result.

DEXA Scan - Supposed to be the best and most reliable but its £100+ and can't find one in Birmingham so id have to treck to London etc. As its for me and my wife its a costly alternative.

MuscleSound This is advertised as the next best thing to DEXA and is £30. Available close to home also. But I am unsure how accurate this really is.

Keen to know what others do. Iv been using my Omron for years but would like an accurate reading now.
