I'm no doctor but I seriously believe if someone really had 0.0% bodyfat they'd be dead!  Their brain and CNS wouldn't even be able to function.  Your body needs a small amount of fat to function properly.

No, it's impossible. At 3-4% bodyfat, you die. The brain is 99% fat and if you lose all the fat around the heart, you go into cardiac arrest.

Durring the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn states that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0% the lowest ever tested at Golds , I thought it was impossible at the time too , but he made the claim  ???

During the Olympia broacast on ESPN, Jim Quinn mentioned that a skin fold measurement was done on Flex by a gentlemen called Bill Smith. This was done one week before the show. This gentlemen apparently measured Fex's bodyfat at 0.0! Who knows if it's true? Use your common sense on that one.

On average a skin fold test has most athletes coming in around the 4-5% mark in Very good contest shape, but alot of guys are around 5-7% and rely on dehydration to acheive a tighter look , I myself could regulary get to a 3.5% reading for a show and they classed me as one of the best all time lean contenders out there , getting lean was never a problem , getting big was the hard bit !!! At 3.5% you should have toataly stirrated glutes, back and lumber(these are the last place for body fat to desperse from for a guy) Other than the skin fold test which does have its inconsistancy especialy if it is not done by the same individual every time , and is only used as a  guide line for calorie calculation, the only true way to get a true BF% reading is by useing 'Water dissplacement " calculation , and I doubt many would go to that trouble !! Would flex have been O.O% no , it is impossible, at has best i would have had flex at 4.5 % through skin fold readings , at 3.5% readings that i used to acheive my immune system was badly compromised and it always took a good month or two to get back to feeling healthy again !!!!!

  No, that's impossible. But way, way back in 97, I saw some black-and-white picks of Flex on FLEX mag, where he was 4% bodyfat and looking awesome! It was the best I've ever seen from him; on stage, he never looked as good as he did on those pics.

  Flex wen't to overboard on protein, eating 800 grams or more per day. While eating lots of protein is essential for muscle growth, there IS such a thing as too much. And 800 grams qualifies. There is no question that this gigantic ingestion of protein, combined with long-acting testosterone esters, ultimately crippled his kidneys, taking him to one inch of his life.

During the same period, using the exact same calibers at Gold's Venice, I measured 3.8-4.2%. During the same time, when tested via submersion testing @ Sepulveda Sports Medicine,  I tested at 7.1-7.3. FWIW.

o.o % is technically impossible but you could achieve those readings on a skin fold i suppose but there is of course many things that can cause error. 
1. Theres usually a margin of error always between 0-4% at least
2.  Human error taking the readings
3. The sites that they took the readings from
4. The skin fold is only measuring fat directly beneath the skin you have fat in between your organs and in your brain (which was previously stated).  There is no test that will give absolute perfect results and the skin fold is common, easy, and widely accepted but clearly not the best.
Yes, Flex might have tested at 0.0% but he surely had some amount of fat on his body.

  Exactly. Do you remember those articles about Flex, from 97? I was shocked when Flex pointed out that, during his contest prep, he'd gulp down two full chicken breasts, on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. Not two pieces, but two FULL chicken breasts! :o That amounts to about 150 grams of complete protein, in a single meal! Not in a day, but in a single fucking meal!

  Obviously, under the pressure of breaking up all that protein and drug molecules, his kidneys just gave up. If it weren't for his sister donating her own kidney to push him up the waiting list for kidney transplant, he'd DEFINITELY be dead by now. Pro bodybuilding...what a shame. :-[ :'(

a skinfold test doesnt check for any fat inside the body. you can have nearly no fat directly beneath the skin but have a lot inside the body itself. its why you see some guys, powerlifters mostly, with low skinfold tests but huge stomachs. a lot of fat behind the belly instead of on top of it.

In all seriousness it's impossible. However maybe it is possible for the calipers to give a reading of 0%(it's unlikely) but as I haven't seen those calipers I can't say for sure they could not read 0%. Also calipers can't give you an exact accurate reading reading. I think hydrostatic weighing in a water tank would be more accurate but even that would not be 100%. Very lripped pro BB like flex and munszer in the past have probably got as low as 4-5% for a few days or maybe even a week. If you sustained such low BF for long you would could get very ill. To answer your question 0% is impossible and would equal death. Even if he had no subcutaneous BF there would still be some visceral fat e.g. fat around his colon etc.

There used to be one of those in my old gym. Just like an electric scales. They are very inacurate. Yuo could probably use them to judge rough progress but not absolute BF% I got a reading of 7.8% once when I was over 10 on callipers. i would advise all BB's to use the mirror as their BF calculator. As I said to Alexxx, if people don't think you look in shape they don't want to hear about what you weigh and at how much BF.

Ask any real doctor if it is at all possible to have 0% bodyfat and 100% of them will say no.  Fat helps with lubricating the joints too.  No fat and you'd be one hurtin mother trying to walk and move with no lubrication in your joints.  You would squeeking and grinding with every step and moevement.

I'm no doctor but I seriously believe if someone really had 0.0% bodyfat they'd be dead!  Their brain and CNS wouldn't even be able to function.  Your body needs a small amount of fat to function properly.

Maybe he had 0% subcutaneous (sp?) fat, but a total body fat is impossible.
Flex had a great body, but brains he is known for, he is not.

Ask any real doctor if it is at all possible to have 0% bodyfat and 100% of them will say no.  Fat helps with lubricating the joints too.  No fat and you'd be one hurtin mother trying to walk and move with no lubrication in your joints.  You would squeeking and grinding with every step and moevement.
Degenrative arthritis, also keeps the heart alive and working not to mention vital organs, bodybuilders to get to the edge og being a real walking dead man at times, many times

I remember the Ironman article on Flex (like 1999, 2000, or 2001 - I can't remember) where Flex stated that he was at < 1% BF.  He then went into detail on doing like 3 hours of cardio in the dark everyday the week before and getting 1 spoonfull or carbs total (oatmeal) during the entire week.  If that doesn't put you in a compromised health, nothing will...

Im not sure about this,fat doesnt add between the tendon and the joints.I think its mostly a myth,and looking at many top BB/strongmen we can see it dosent stick.Coleman,Mariuz,Yuko Hahola and more.All were very lean,lifted HEAVY and kept pretty healthy.

In 1993 Neal Spruce tested Flex's bodyfat with a "Skyndex" brand electronic skinfold caliper, using the "Durnin" calculation formula on the number 2 setting (active male/athlete). Two weeks out from the show he tested at approx. 1% and the following week when tested the Skyndex displayed "E E E" which means "error". Which means that his bodyfat was less than 1% according to the device. The Skyndex is not capable of measuring less than 1%. It will display the error message.

I was an eyewitness to the test by Neal. Whether Flex had Billy Smith retest him at Gold's to confirm the reading I do not know. However, it is entirely possible.

The Durnin formula tests four sites: Biceps, Triceps, Subscapula and Illiac Crest (Abdominal area). It is definitely the most accurate of the skinfold measurements. However, it is not as accurate as Hydrostatic Weighing or the new Body Scan.

If any of you have a copy of the '93 Mr. O, take a look at the striations in Flex's back. It will be the freakest and leanest you have ever seen!

I have personally tested THOUSANDS of people's bodyfat (including some of the best pro bodybuilders in the sport) with the same device and I have NEVER seen someone lean enough to cause the device to ERROR the way Flex did. So wether he was truly less than 1% or not, I highly doubt anyone has ever tested leaner, Andreas Muntzer would probably be the only canidate.

FLEX IS AWESOME! Can't fight it!

Natural fat disposition makes most of those caliper tests useless.We all know friends/bodybuilders that have VERY diffrent fat disposition.Some might pack more on the areas you test with the caliper some pack less.If you consider that the test loses much of its already low valid value.

So in 93 the record was held by Flex Wheeler.

Guys, this thread is hilarious.  Anyone who believes you could survive with even 2% bodyfat is a complete and utter idiot (ala Dorian 1997 at 271 pounds...complete Bullshit).  The body requires some fat to function.  Without it your neurons would not work.  Also, fat is present to protect vital organs such as Gerota's fascia around the kidney (http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/1348.html).  Trust me, even bodybuilders who reach the extreme of 3% are not feeling too hot.  That is a condition they can hit for a few days max before they get to a more healthy five percent or so.  Jim Quinn's claims are fallacy and meant to inspire awe and adulation.  In reality, they are laughable.

No, rest assured Jim Quinn wasn't lying when he stated that Flex Wheelers bodyfat was scientifically tested with calibrated calipers to be exactly 0.0% of his total body mass.

yes Fred, he is about 3% and diced beyond all belief.  His Arnold form that year was untouchable.  He would have won the Mr. Olympia if he could have duplicated it.  However, nobody has zero percent bodyfat.  For one thing, skin calipers are notoriously unreliable at the extremes (exceedingly low BF or grotesquely obese).  That is why water densitometry and DEXA scans are the gold standard.  Unfortunately, these test still have inaccuracies.  To measure zero percent, essentially they could not measure any skin fold measurements on Flex.  Does that sound possible.  As people have said before, when he is buried and all bones.  ;D

Well the bodyfat measurements do not lie, as during the commentary for the 93 Olympia , Jim Quinn stated that Flex had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested there.
that is what i read on getbig.com

the fact remains. the guy who said that flex's bodyfat was 0.0 is wrong. doesn't matter that the skinfold measurement said that. it was not acurate. not a knock on flex it's just impossible.

Nobody here is saying that he didn't have 0% subcutaneous bodyfat. He was ripped, that is apparently and obvious.
But Fred, your claiming that he had ZERO fat on his entire body....meaning that his brain would no longer be a brain. Or his kidney's, lungs, or any other body organ that is made of fat.
Just because you say you were there, does not mean that he had zero percent bodyfat. That's like saying because you watched George Foreman knockout Mike Tyson, it was you that knocked him out instead.
He is ripped, but 0% in IMPOSSIBLE. Moron.

this just cant be true...After all, The same Jim Quinn stated that Flex was the lowest ever teste at Golds (until 93 at least) . So if ronnie did that too, he cant be the lowest, of course...

I think he's probably say the bodybuilder who Jim Quinn measured bodyfat at golds gym and stated that it was 0.0%.

He determined this by the fact that when he put his hands out to measure the skinfold, they ceased to exist until he willed them back towards his body - in which case they came back.  Clearly indicating a zero reading.

By the way, what year did Jim measure ?  Does anybody know who he measured?

Flex Wheeler was attacked by ninjas On the ESPN Olympia broadcast, Where Jim Quinn had stated that Billy Smith did skin fold measurements on Flex in Gold's Venice a week before the show. Quinn went on to say that Flex was the only bodybuilder ever to measure at 0.0% bodyfat which means that Flex was dead while he competed and according to hulkster Ronnie Colemans glutes also measured at 0.0% bodyfat which created his GH gut, and King Kamali decide to sue 240 over it.  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Also now we can get a new explanation of how did Flex was living a pimp life with all those cars and shit...If after 93 he was dead, he never had to spend money on food (wich i think in the course of a year its a lot) so this leave a great amount of money for him to spend!!!

A pro or top armature can get his bf % down to 3% for a contest.  I've never seen anyone lower and as someone stated, @ 0% you'd die. Even when a top BB hits 3%, He only can hold it for a day or so.  Who ever came up with the 0% doesn't know what their talking about.  Even intramuscular fat is fat and like stated the brain also is mostly fat.  Anything below 5% is considered stage level.  But 0?  You'd be dead.  Momo was a prime example.

Jim Quinn told me that Flex Wheeler once knocked a guy out in 0.0 seconds...

Special "Just Kidneying" Ed
 
 
 Can anyone tell me if this was before or after Jim Quinn had stated that Billy Smith did skin fold measurements on Flex in Gold's Venice a week before the show. Quinn went on to say that Flex was the only bodybuilder ever to measure at 0.0% bodyfat?? ??? ??? ???


i dont know this, but what i know is that it was after billy smith measured 0.0 of bodyfat on Flex (as Jim Quinn stated) then Flex was already dead...
Wich probably makes him the first dead person with 0.0% bodyfat to know down a guy in 0.0 seconds...
Jesus, Flex surprises me more and more every day!!!

Flex was chemically engineered to have a bodyfat reading of 0.0% as measured by the infallible calipers at Golds Gym. Jim Quinn said so. He said this during the coverage of the 1993 Mr Olympia. Bill Smith was the operator of said calipers.

I dont think so Mars....and believe me, its for your own health...

After all, we know the facts...
- Flex Wheeler bodyfat was measured at 0.0 at the 93O, tested by Billy Smith and told by Jim Quinn...
- If someone has 0.0% of bodyfat, it means he/she are dead...
- Flex then became the most winning DEAD pro in the circuit...a record not breaked until today...

 So, if your 'friend' has 0.0% bodyfat, it means probably it is dead, wich can mean 3 things...

1- You are also dead, like Flex
2-  you are dead like Flex, because you are Flex
2- you are alive,you are not Flex,  but your cock is dead...so you are fucked... :o :o

Goddamnit it! No he didn't. That was a rumor begun because a stupid magazine exaggerated his response to the question "How many calories a day do you eat?" and he answered along with saying that he has eaten up to 30,000 calories in a day which was only possible from eating Nigerian foods very high in calories. He specifically made it known that eating that much wasn't something he commonly did.

No, it's impossible. At 3-4% bodyfat, you die. The brain is 99% fat and if you lose all the fat around the heart, you go into cardiac arrest.
Judge for yourself (http://www.saunalahti.fi/absent/Flex_93_OLYMPIA.wmv).
I'm pretty sure you don't die at 4% body fat. I'm no expert but I have personally been measured at 4%.  When I was younger, I played football on the Furman University National Championship Football team. I also happened to have a degree in Exercise Science from Furman. During the beginning of my sophomore year towards the end of pre season practices I took a course that required students to have our % body fat tested.  We did this in our Exercise Physiology lab using the underwater weighing method.  I tested out at 4% during that pre-season training time.  Of course I didn't maintain that level of bodyfat to much further into the season as we hit actual game time practice schedules but I am a witness that 4% won't kill you.

I believe that very caliper used, is now on display at the smithsonian in a glass box. It shows 0.0%! Along with a note from Billy Smith confirming it, And a voice-over of Jim Quinn's 93 O commentary re Flex's bf %, playing in a loop.

Jim Quinn dables in chaos theory mathematics and philosophized that determining Flexes actual bodyfat percentage could set of a chain of catastrophic events.  When asked what the measurement was Jim merely drew the lemniscate and left it up to individual interpretation.

Chris and Rico mistook Jims drawing for 0.0 and from there the legend was born.



Actually,  what really happened was.....

Jim Quinn was using digital calipers. Well, the batteries needed replacing and the error code for dead battery was a flashing double zero. Jim, being the dim bulb that he was, immediately mistook this for zero. Zero fat percentage and told anyone who would listen to him that Flexes bodyfat percentage was 0.0.. No one had the heart to tell him the truth. Big Jim still stays up late at night marveling at what a genetic freak Flex was.
