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]

All my life, I been curious as to how those type of scales work. Now I know.

[@moktatak7439]

thank you !! been wondering how to use it at the gym

Same story

Same lol

[@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 :-).

[@shyamalaraman6414]

God bless you!!! I always wanted to know how this thing worked!

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

[@FirstWorldProblemz]

Thanks. I have this at work and I’m gonna use it after the doctors leave

[@maritzacopping3309]

Thank you! All these years I wasn’t if I was doing it right.

[@amj6644]

Thanks man. Curiosity cured

[@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

[@priyer74]

Thanks al lot...never understood how this kind of weight machine worked....today I know....thanks...i will check it in my office gym tomorrow..

[@ManLikeEddy]

Thank you man I have one of these at my gym and they're so fucking hard to use and I always have to get the coach to get it up for me

[@Reeseybaby]

Thanks I'm at the Townplace suites been working out most of the days since I been here & tried understanding this

[@Hotpotatogal]

This was actually very helpful💪 thanks

2 years ago when I first saw this video and learned how to use it I was 33 lol. 😂

[@GloryToTheHighest]

42 lol

[@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.

[@shanthasenthil8559]

Thanks you so..much. really I don't know how to use it at the gym.

[@joypegy1129]

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

[@sna_video13]

Thank you explaining this. Your video help a lot👍🏽

[@davidmesadieu2869]

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

[@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

[@bouchie23]

Thanks G, this gym has an ancient scale

[@rabia786ist]

Thank you it was very helpful.

[@GloryToTheHighest]

Great explanation. Thank you

[@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.

[@bradleybryan3221]

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

[@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

who's here after khabib's weigh in?

[@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.

[@mzhr72]

Thank you for this :)

[@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.

[@Elpler03]

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

THANK YOU

[@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

[@jenboo1986]

Literally yes.

[@alexbrown-qq9wp]

Thanks for sharing.

[@nb8982]

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

[@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

[@uwu-cf8lh]

thank youuu!!
