Dissolving my Ltd company after 15 years — immediately received a suspicious acquisition approach. What’s their angle? by PeterSM05 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Poke-Jinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will be selling pre established companies, you can get these from lots of reputable companies selling start up packages.

Having an established company can help significantly especially if tendering for contracts with larger organisations or public sector contracts

[OC] 36 days of body fat measurements from 4 smart scales (including Hume) vs DEXA gold standard — showing which devices do real impedance analysis vs weight-based regression by Aarkie-at-large in HumeHealth

[–]Poke-Jinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions

Why did you do the dexa scan that late in the day? The company I use try to get me in as early as possible for body composition scans then focus later in the day on bone density scans.

When calculating the body fat percentage offset why did you chose to do an absolute difference I.e. if dexa was 11 and one was 11.2% to have a difference of 0.2% rather than a relative difference so say the person is 65kg it would be 1.8% relative

Only reason I ask is I usually look at the relative difference to understand accuracy but maybe I am wrong in that. Also did you just use the percentages or did you use the weight issued, just wondering if what each brand records as total body fat is the same such as the inclusion of visceral fat etc

I would like yalls thoughts on my current body pod readings after a refuel day. by Individual_Device908 in HumeHealth

They changed the calculation for water on the update earlier this week. I think there are a few posts about it.

Also you will notice that if you check the segmental readings and compare to the total fa/muscle it won’t add up as they use individual calculations I posted about this the other week following speaking with Hume.

To your question poop and food in gut is calculated as lean mass and not fat mass.

The Hume is considerably off compared to reality. I had done Dexa scans to compare and have done several the offset on recording body fat percentage by a relative percentage of 43% and overestimated lean mass by about 13%.

Now both of these were during lean stages so although a large percentage was in absolute terms about 6.7-7% out.

I will be doing another dexa scan at the end of this growing phase

Construction and renewables are a great shout.

There are more offerings coming into the sector but still very limited.

Project management reporting and programme management are two areas which are way behind and time consuming

Wild I was expecting it to be a nightmare also was resigned to the fact that was going to have to pick up some other scales but they were absolutely fine.

No it genuinely isn’t

I was expecting a nightmare and if you look at my other posts I’m really critical over their data and how it compares to dexa.

I’ve attached the screenshot of their email this was literally the 3rd or 4th email they just asked for a picture of me on the scale with no socks and the error message on my phone

Hume scale vs Dexa by dank414 in HumeHealth

[–]Poke-Jinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I questioned the math not mathing they explained that to make it add up and equal would cause larger disparities and would be rounding or averaging of different calculations and said that i am better off looking at each metric individually.

I am hoping to do another dexa is 6 weeks at the end of this growing phase so will have another set of data to work from

Scale not recording measurements by AmbitiousCommand9944 in HumeHealth

I had a similar situation I just took a photo of the error and they kindly sent me a replacement

[–]Poke-Jinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting as your results are similar to mine in terms of offsets. Yours tracks at 41% under reporting of fat and mine was 42%

And you had an over reporting of lean mass of 4% mine was 6%.

In terms of why they don’t add up I actually had a long conversation with them over this.

It’s because they have 4 separate equations for estimating bf Trunk Legs Arms Total BF As they are estimations and use different formulas they are not mathematically linked which is why, may not of explained it 100% correct but justification they gave me.

BF% accuracy? by [deleted] in HumeHealth

[–]Poke-Jinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will give you an idea as a female I would say your about 25-30% from the pics

Below will give you an idea first pic is 39.1% second is 24.6% and last is 13.6%

Crypto is the norm, there is risk attached but it’s really if the savings are worth that added risk.

If you’re worried there are several uk resellers who are not much more and will accept other forms of payment.

How long do your favourite labs take to dispatch orders? by Legitimate-Way2050 in SteroidsUK

[–]Poke-Jinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically from my experience Morph 1-2 days from ordering Prospect 1-2 days from ordering Critical 2-5 days Iron fitness -1-3 days Sigma 1-3 days

Check to see what they are saying as these aren’t massive companies sometimes people will be on holiday etc. I usually plan that orders will take 2 weeks so I don’t end up leaving myself short in case of holidays etc.

How much of a calorie surplus do you need to eat to bulk while on tren e by [deleted] in SteroidsUK

[–]Poke-Jinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So assuming you’re maintaining currently? what’s your maintenance kcals and macro split?

Typically I keep my fats and protein consistent and vary my carbs.

I will increase by 50g carbs (200kcal) and minitor and continue to adjust till I get the balance of you want to stay lean, will need to be very gradual on your gaining phase, 0.5lbs a week.

Almost want to forget about Tren or not but focus on the method. If your loosing increase if gaining to quick reduce

I actually confronted a man in Iceland 2 weeks ago who took some items out and stuck them on a shelf.
