what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400 940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq	Sorry mr fancy scales!

Member 4114, 355 posts	BigMacca said:I did this last night as I was surprised that the Unit weighed lighter after the headstand. So I jumped on my scales (£500 Seca calibrated bad boys) Start weight was 85.05kg - No amount of leaning forwards or backwards altered the reading, once all movement had stopped they read 85.05kg. Stood on my head for 3 minutes whilst watching the Big Bang Theory Jumped back on the scales again and they read 85.05kg - No amount of leaning forwards or backwards altered the reading, once all movement had stopped they read 85.05kg So I do declare it to be a whole load of tosh! can confirm, I am scales.

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Weighed in at 82.3 Handstand for 1 minute weighed in at 82.7

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22043 posts	Macca, your blood is obviously extremely viscous. You are f**ked. Nice knowing you. Smallsy, you're just strange. That became obvious when your attitude towards dogs sticking their heads out of car windows was revealed.

Member 1687, 113 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 265 675.0 kgs @ 100kgs Eq	Post Edited: 25.11.2013 @ 12:37 PM by DANGERUSS I did this once and went from 90.1 to 90.4. So was not happy since it generated a crowd of curious lifters to see if it actualy worked. So back to the tredmil I went

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts	I'm thinking that this has more to do with the repeatability of the scales than loss of mass. Perhaps certain types of scales are more likely to give a different reading than others, I think that the good medical scales use 4 potentiometers that cater for the slight movement of the person being weighed where as those with a single potentiometer may give a different reading if you lean forward etc. I wonder if your centre of gravity is much higher from standing on your head?

It works due to the fact that people don't stand perfectly upright. they lean forward to see their weight. With the higher centre of gravity. There are force diagrams on the link that explain more.

understanding of the sport, little he has. Member 798, 9942 posts SQ 260, BP 150, DL 272.5 682.5 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq	Motorbiker said:http://burkphysics.com/wordpress/charliet/2012/04/15/will-stan...

That's pretty much what I said - it also explains why I didn't see any difference on my high end scales, it doesn't matter where you stands on them out how far forward you lean, they always read the same

Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265 707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq	just imagining a weigh in for a comp with a bunch of powerlifters or strongen all trying to stand on their head.
