BMI (body mass index) calculators don’t always give you an accurate reading as muscle weighs more than fat it could easily put weight lifters in the obese category. The Skulpt Aim has been designed to get you an accurate reading of muscle quality (MQ) and fat percentage. It is really easy to use all you need to do is spray the sensors with water, the Aim comes with a little spritz bottle you can fill up with water and use, the Aim is also fully waterproof so you can use it in the shower whilst cleaning down after a workout, you then simply apply the Aim, sensor side down to the muscle area you wish to examine and the results will be displayed on screen. To get a total body measurement the Aim will ask you to measure 4 key areas, biceps, triceps, abs and quads (thigh) and then will calculate an overall result. As well as an overall reading the Aim can provide results for 12 muscles, abs, biceps, calves, chest, forearms, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, quads, shoulders, triceps, and upper back (24 in total left and right). The graphics on the display look great, the lights around the edge indicate if you have taken a reading also look great, the app even LOOKS great but none of this is worth having when the product seems to the inconsistent and inaccurate. Gutted, I really wanted to love this but with its high end price tag there cannot be room for error, the app is a bit buggy, it froze up, randomly disconnected and refused to sync - other times it worked exactly as it should and this made it even more frustrating because when it did work you got a glimpse of how good it could be. The Aim itself would provide reading that when compared to a Bioelectrical Impedance machine at the gym and the caliper readings done by a personal trainer were totally different, even when doing it at the same time or sometimes it just wouldn’t register at all. I think for an item this expensive it needs to be more accurate and reliable with its readings. Similar to the Aim there is also the Skulpt Chisel at nearly half the price does the same as the Aim but doesn’t have a display screen, instead you get the info from the app, this means relying on the hit and miss syncing and all the other bugs. I felt the Aim asked for premium bucks only to deliver budget quality, if you are serious about you muscle gain it is probably worth getting professional analysis, if you are kind of into your health stats, wear your fitbit most days but also eat and drink like it’s going out of fashion every weekend the Chisel could be an interesting tool and we can cross our fingers that the app will get better with time. Skulpt Aim RRP $199, Skulpt Chisel RRP $99.
