Almost impossible to have 50% body fat.
« on: July 16, 2008, 02:28:08 AM »
I saw this show on Discovery the other night. This big black guy weighed 1,000 pounds. He hadn't been out of bed in 10 years. The guy lived to eat greasy fat foods. Listening to him was hilarious. He had these unreal rolls of hanging flesh. He was taken to the hospital by crane. They measured him at 50% body fat. So if a person like this is only 50% than True Adonis claims of himself being at one time 40% must be way off base.

i strongly disagree.

just think about it, if he weights 1000lbs, and only 50% of this are fat, what is the rest?

Are you telling me his bones got heavier, or he has 300lbs muscle?

This guy HAS to be 80% bf, this only shows that all bf measurements do not work.

donkeykong is right. that means if this man could preserve about 80% of his lean mass and drop 450 lbs of fat he would be 450lbs at about 10% bodyfat.

It does sound ridiculous, knowing that most people in western countries are now above what's considered normal. Which means most adult men are above 20%bf. An a lot of them around 30% in fact. Do the math, that guy must be Olympia material once lean.

I've seen a program where a woman who wasn't nearly as big as the guy you described being measured at 60%

I heard she was bitten by a brown recluse, so she was holding a fair amount of water...

Maybe he does have 300lbs of muscle, maybe this is the proof that bulking works!

i remember a study a while ago. it tested 3 groups. sumo wrestlers,powerlifters, and bodybuilders. the sumo wrestlers had the highest amount of lean muscle even though they dont weight train.

Actually his bones, skin and muscles have grown to support such a large weight mass.  Out of that 1000 pounds he's probably holding about 200 pounds of water.  It's fucking gross.

I just saw this thread.  Right as soon as I clicked it I immediately started thinking of how I could incorporate an Onlyme fat joke into the thread.  Unfortunaly, your post ruined it for me.  >:(

actually, you're correct.

for some reason, everyone thinks that if you've got 250 pounds of lean weight, it means you could just diet down and be 255 diced. that just ain't how it works. if a man is 1000 pounds with 50% bodyfat, ignoring the fact that another 20% is probably water (which still leaves 300 pounds "lean"), the fact is that there's no way he'd maintain that much muscle tissue in the dieting process.

if you've ever seen someone get calipered at a legitimate over-30% bodyfat, you know just how fat that is. getting into the 40% range is ridiculous. if you see a 350 pound powerlifter with a sizeable stomach chances are he's not much over 30%. shawn lattimer got water tested at around 30% when he weighed in that range, and if you google him (look for pictures of him with a goatee) you'd have people on here claiming he's 60%.

there's a real skewed perception of bodyfat on here, and i often think it's because the people who do all the claiming never got tested. i was calipered at 23% when i wrestled in middle school and i was DAMN soft. i'd say even the "fattest" dudes around here aren't much above 25%.

Because he doesn't know WTF he's talking about.
