Just wondering if any coaches or training gurus can advise... Is the only info worth tracking from scales, your actual weight?
I currently am deciding on buying from a variety of scales... They can measure Body Fat / Body Water / Bone Mass / and BMI body mass index, or just weight.
Muscle mass is an option in some scales too.. That could be useful?
Is any of this info useful for training or just your weight tracking enough to go by?
I can't see bone mass changing much, unless you have a health problem. Body water should be fairly irrelevant too as we probably drink enough to stay hydrated.
Body fat could be worth tracking, especially for some big climbers who realise they can make big changes.
I'm about 63kg clothed, just under 10st, so probably can't lose much, but have cut bread out + lost 2kg from a month ago. Perhaps could get down to 60kg if i start training properly, but might end up back up at 65 from it!
Is the weight figure all you need a bathroom scales to give?
