3J? Bodyfat % up, weight same

[tjkita]

I got my bodyfat measured on a scale at work/fitness center today and it said that I was up from 24% to 26%. But my weight actually decreased by 2 lbs. I weigh 234lbs, I'm 37 yrs old, and I do 20 minutes cardio and lift heavy for 1 hour 5 days a week. My belt size is the same and lifts are up by 10lbs.

Is this possible or is the scale wrong???

stress less buddy, Majority of bf% scales electronic ones that is arnt very accurate. for an acurate reading get somebody (pt) to measure ur bf% with calipers.

Hydrostatic testing is much more accurate, and a bod-pod can also generally come close.

I wouldn't worry too much about this test. If you post a pic, I bet we can give you a ballpark %. I would bet the machines aren't too far off.
