He was reporting on a measurement that had been taken before the '93 Olympia by Billy Smith at Gold's Gym in Venice Beach.  If I'm recalling correctly it was the lowest reading that had ever been taken at that gym.  I'm getting a strange sense of deja vu....

Please stop believing such claims....


Bodybuilding is all about Illusion,  guys like Pastel,Nubret,Gaspary,Wheller,Labrada,Munzer,Platz etc gave the impression of having lower bf than their real percentage... they were other bbers at a given time standing with less bf still not looking as dry as some of mention above.

Billy measured it, and Quinn reported it at 93 O. 0.0%, thats what Jim said, so I believe it.

Jim Quinn said flex's bodyfat was measured at 0.0% prior to the 93 olympia!!
Title: Re: Flex Wheeler BF percentage
Post by: Figo on September 09, 2007, 08:22:27 AM
No, what he actually said, was that he knew for a fact that Flex was measured by Billy Smith prior to the O, and his bf measurement was 0.0%, the lowest ever reading recorded at Golds Venice...and this was during the broadcast of the 93 mr O. The statement, not the bf measurement.

I talked to a dr. awhile back and asked "what is the lowest BF a human can achieve, theoretically speaking" of course).

He told me that 2,5-3% Bf is absolutely the lowest, if someone has BF that low they only have FAT in their BRAINS and possibly in some of their inner organs. He also said that anything under 4% is nearly imbossible or atleast very hard to achieve and he also said that BF levels this low are dangerous.

BTW: He is an sports doctor.

Flex was the best of the best imo,i dont care if he was a jerk or if he didnt like training,he should have been mr.o.But 0% bodyfat isnt possible,he would have died...u need some fat to live...

Jim Quinn and Billy Smith are saints, no need for them to lie about something like that. Flex is known for his honesty also I mean his calves were real, he was attacked by ninjas only weeks before a huge show, has great shoulders, had naturally bad kidneys and was always a good sport when he lost.

According to Jim Quinn, kamali's intra-abdominal body-fat, as measured at Gold's Gym by Billy Smith, was tested at 99.9999%, the highest ever recorded!  :o


And if Quinn says it, I believe it dammit!  >:(

Indeed. In '93. 0.0% is what Billy said, and Billy never lied to Jim. Jim also said it was the lowest ever recorded at Gold's.

Those ninjas roundhouse kicked every last percentile of bodyfat out of flex's abs.  Flex didn't want me to tell you the secret but now the cat's out of the bag.
