Do you have 2 scales?

I was reading an interesting article on squatting. (Sorry forgot to bookmark it but I think it was on men's health) it says to take two scales and stand one foot on each scale. Go down into a squat. The scales should have the same weight number. If not their is a problem with your form or you are not balanced equally in strength which can cause future injuries.

Does any one have 2 scales at home to try this? Could you let me know how this worked for you. I have only one scale, trying to decide if I should get another to try this.

    Unfortunately not, I hate the one I have enough :-)

    I made the experience that scales in general often don´t show the same weight. Do you have a wii and the fitboard? There is also a test of your stability...

    Maybe you can borrow another one?

    i do have 2 scales, but one of them is numeric and the other analog. Not to mention they,re uneven. So I doubt any result there would be accurate anyway xP

    I do have a wiifit voard but i'm not sure I ever tried squatting on it
