How reliable does InBody measure bf% and muscle mass?
>>

not reliable at all. Water tank > caliper > tape measure.

How far off? I used a bodpod and the numbers weren't crazy off.

Too far off. Let's put it this way: I'm around 12% bodyfat. One such machine measured me as 6.9%
>>
get a DEXA scan instead

I really want to believe mine's accurate. It had my muscle mass about 10-20% higher than the average for my age and height

>>39657392
It's not THAT innacurate however, bioelectrical impedance, isn't that accurate either. It's a good estimate and can help you track your progress if you take the measurements at the same time on the same circumstances every time (which might prove complicated). I did the same but with a different machine (actually a home one) and with calipers, both gave me the same result so, yeah.

It's a joke, worse than a meme, that's how bad it is.

>hydrostatic weighing
>DXA scan
>skin calipers, administered by an experienced medical professional
Those are the only accurate methods.
