I'm so glad for this video. I'm in a fitness center that has an ancient Detecto scale and if I did it right I finally broke the 190s and I'm 184 with about 25 more lbs to go and I meet my goal.

[@mpleading2588]

Hope you're closer to your goal!

[@shopece8807]

LOL I still have about 10 more to go. Going slow but still doing pretty good :-). Thanks!

[@nachocheesebrain2461]

@@shopece8807hey it’s been 2 years, get to it!

[@bobhill3941]

I feel the exact same way. My gym has one produced by health-o-meter and I was never sure I was using it right. I appreciate the confirmation.

[@Hownottobasic23]

I just started the week before last week and I see alot of changes and I'm happy one problem tho the gyno I don't know to get rid of it

[@HappyRoach1]

[@MegaKrixx]

thank you so much!!! I have no idea why my fancy gym doesn't just have a normal scale. I'm euopean and I tried using this scale many times but it didn't make any sense to me. Thank you so much for creating the video. Now I can finally see how much I weigh

[@shopece8807]

I love that this is still helping so many people many years later :-).

[@andrewkful]

Oh thank you! I use a digital scale and these types of scales always stumped me.

[@Reeseybaby]

[@joypegy1129]

If I was to use the scale you step on would the weights match?

[@truecorbinfan]

Thank you so much. It helps

[@GloryToTheHighest]

Great explanation. Thank you

Thanks for sharing.

[@indianarmyvideos2588]

This was helpful thanks

[@mzhr72]

Thank you for this :)

[@runthomas]

thing is they dont look very nice ..but these scales are the most robust you can get and pretty accurate not just simple springs and dodgy like the ones in most bathrooms...but i expect they would cost a fortune

[@ashleyjimenez6180]

What if it lands between the 100 and 150 mark . Does that represent 125? (Talking about the lower number section only )

[@danieldsilva8322]

There is no in between, You should keep it at either 100 or 150. Although if you do weight 125 pounds lol, keep the lower scale at 100 and move the upper scale all the way up to 25. The scale should then balance out.

[@GloryToTheHighest]

Keep it at 100

[@emmawills4112]

Thank you!

[@igarsomaliyed9234]

thanks useful much

[@bouchie23]

Thanks G, this gym has an ancient scale

[@blackyyean8321]

Lol😂😂 me

[@thatkingk.roolmain842]

You wanna know something REALLY crazy. I was literally JUST watching McGregor vs Khabib press conference. But that's now why I came here though I came here because I didn't know how to use those scales.

[@uwu-cf8lh]

thank youuu!!

[@nicolaspazymino7997]

THANK YOU

[@Rod-bp8ow]

The English metric system as exemplified in the use of the NON-Algorithm Metric Weighing scale are tested and proven efficient in reconciliation of the weights, based on the use of volume measurements as well as the pound and types. It is prehistorically accurate, and balance, since the readings are trial balanced, accurate in the results for medical, businesses purpose. ∆ DON'T DELETE, this is IMPORTANT. Thank you.

[@belly9145]

Thanks

[@davidmesadieu2869]

Hey buddy. Both the the small and big Weight must be calibrated to zero before you step on the scale.

[@BeigesBeij]

Thanks bro

[@A10R10]

Bro it pisses me off that the LA fitness I go to hasn’t upgraded the scale 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mpleading2588]

Same for the planet fitness I'm at. Scales aren't expensive to

[@A10R10]

@@mpleading2588 it makes me mad cuz my scale at home doesn’t work anymore lol

[@shopece8807]

I have a fancy up-to-date smart BMI scale now but as ancient as this type of Detecto scale is I'm glad this video shows people how to use it because it's extremely accurate.

[@frankvarela8796]

You should never start without the blocks being to the far right at zero. And the balance should be free floating at its center. 1:17

[@frankvarela8796]

Correction the blocks should be at the far left.

[@nb8982]

This the only one at my gym n idk how to use it

[@SoldierofGodAki]

Now all I need is a mechanical weighing machine

[@myracampbell3324]

An fascinating discussion is price comment. I think that its best to write extra on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but usually individuals are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

[@spoonerpurple]

you have to balance it on zero first with both weights on zero if its not balancing your not ready to weigh anyone ..you must do this first ..or it wont be correct

Thank youuu, I too have a Gym that has this Lol, idk why they have them if they Are one of the Good Expensive Gyms 😂 I should buy one and just leave it in the restroom

[@internalinjectiontrulyhere6182]

Dont break ya back too fast know the swinging rules we reff

[@peaceful4you408]

what if its between numbers on the bottom.

[@evitthought9641]

There is no in-between number at the bottom. The bottom increments only 50 pounds. You adjust it with top part, which goes from 1 to 50 in 4-ounce (0.25 pounds) increments

[@Elpler03]

Thanks, this shit always gives me a headache tryna figure out lol

[@jenboo1986]

Literally yes.

[@joenildelumen4798]

this weighing scales is so hassle haha

[@gasfrommyanusi0i594]

Bro you are 165lbs? How tall are you

[@interestingthings1058]

5'8" 😅

[@5point0h67]

Digital scale I own keeps telling me I’m 230.6 but the scale at my apartment (like the one shown in the video) keeps telling me I’m 214??? I’m not sure which to trust more lol

[@aiyannaslife9621]

The balance scale is more accurate

[@shopece8807]

Might depend on the type of scale and dare say maybe even the brand. The smart BMI scale that I have is pretty accurate with this type of Detecto scale within about 1 lb.

[@keyshagingerich2600]

Always zero it out before stepping on it.

[@bradleybryan3221]

The fact that there is a RUclips video on how to use the most simple thing is hilarious to me. Lmao.

[@Greenthumb-420]

so isnt that to be precise 158 lbs
