Lied Rec weight scale

**josh777** · 02-05-2010, 11:15 AM

I often weigh myself on the scale located in the men's rec. locker room. Wanted to know if any on here use it and, if so, find it to be accurate.

I use a bathroom scale at home but it typically weighs me at 8-10 lbs. heavier than the one at the Rec. I tested the one at home with a 25 lb. dumbbell and it was accurate.

Also, anyone know which scale the wrestlers use?

I've never tried the one at the rec, but I do know that sometimes a scale can be off at 125 even if it is accurate at 25.

I always found that scale to be off too, on the lighter side.

I know exactly what you mean! Thought my home scale is off.

I'm hoping it is accurate...for my weight's sake.

I just assumed it is as they use it for intramural wrestling and Iowa Games weigh-ins.

There is no way its accurate. I've weighed myself on two different scales apart from the one there and the other two matchup while the one at the rec doesn't.
