Hey Scott! Great question. I wouldn’t recommend working out at all before using the scale for the most accurate reading. The extra blood pumped into your muscles during the workout will cause a false muscle mass reading for a good amount of time even hours after the workout. It’s best to try and use the scale on your non workout day. If you must come on a day you train give yourself at least 6 hours after training.
