You wont believe this

[Chris Nagel]

Here, try this experiment. Step onto a weight scale, and lean in any direction you'd like. If your weight goes down, then you know that your theory is right.

I dont think it would at all ,on a large platform or large digital scales but it does on the cheap two feet bathroom scales cause your weight is off the centre upright support that is under the foot plate you only have to stand wrong on thse thigs to get a variation.

It's a neat idea, Andre, but I don't think it explains it. A good example of how it works is a gyroscope. A particular gyroscope can feel very light when held, but when its parts stops spinning, you'll feel it's actual weight.

Anyways I weighed myself on a decent electronic scale 5 times before performing the 5-minute headstand. My weight was 151.6 lbs, this was repeated 5 times so I felt that I could trust it, and my weight was shown to be the same after 5 tries. After doing the headstand, my weight appeared to be 151.4lbs (repeated 3 times), and for a minute it remained and then it went back up to 151.6 lbs.

I'll try it again sometime and see if anything else can affect it. I wonder if food, water, or performing the headstand differently can change the results. Can it be repeated by using a inverted/upside-down table/bench? I'm still very curious about it, but I'm still not convinced yet.

You are keen! So you lost .2

Anyway didnt Scrap say 10 miniutes on your head?

Dont think it will work in Australia, we are upside down already.

Scrap said 5 minutes. 10 minutes would be a pain in the neck.

It seems to work on people differently, but it works for sure, yes 5 minutes Chris.
