    Muscle is weighs more than fat. Fact.

    Concentrate on your measurements and ignore the scales - weight is irrelevant.

    Not fact. A pound of muscle is equal to a pound of fat. Actual fact. And there is no way the op gained 6lbs of muscle in 6 weeks, I don't care how much people will claim noob gains. Much more likely to be a combination of a ****ty scale, change in clothes, and/or water retention the day of the weigh in.


    OP if I were you I'd probably refuse to use the bodyfat divining machine next time out of principle, its a joke and will never give you an accurate reading, and a bodyfat figure is completely unnecessary anyways.

    Hmmm, was thinking about not using it. Apparently they said (and don't shout this is them not me saying this) that the electrical current that goes round can't tell the difference between fat and water. I do wonder why they use it if that is true!

    I wouldn't shout. That's how the machine works, unfortunately its pointless. Bodyfat is just unnecessary for anyone except perhaps a few elite athletes, and only the water tanks are accurate, even calipers are highly variable.
