"TECHNOVIKING" CLAIMS THE WEIGHT, HEIGHT AND BODYFAT AS ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER!!

[Soundness]

Genetics also do play a role here to..

Some guys can be a genuine 12% and look ripped like soundness while others may still look smoothish.

Yeah I can see my serratus, all my abs, I can see the fibers/striations on the middle traps, upper chest, anterior delts, and I'm at 12% bodyfat. So, 8% would be really fucking ripped for me. Maybe there's a big difference between individuals as you suggest. That's interesting I haven't heard of it but probably very true.

just because he's 6'2" and 235 at low bodyfat doesn't mean he'd look ANYTHING like arnold. a whole shitload of bodybuilders hopped on stage the same height and weight as arnie, how many Sandows do those guys have?

my guess is he's not quite 8% and that was an estimate, but i just remembered i have a container of who gives a fuck in the fridge that i need to go snag.

Yup , a whole pile of other stuff comes into play also..
Muscle bellys,insertions,joint size etc etc..

So many other things than just weight,height and bf come into play

[TechnoViking]

I'm not debating anyone, I was just talking about the fact that people think they have a lot lower bodyfat % than they do and have no idea how low 10% and below is. I'm not talking about a person but the concept in general. And yes, she is nice. 

So true...But when you start getting into the realm of ripped glutes, its safe to say you probably are going south of 6.5%

I agree about the genetics but there is no one on the planet who is 12% and look super ripped from the back...Sure they may have great abs and veins everywhere but its the backside that tells all...Glutes and lower back are where you get a clear sense...

When people say or estimate their bodyfat I just don't get where their getting these #'s from, unless their testing themselves by the under water bodyfat test and some professional facility it's just not accurate, the calipers are definitely not accurate, I got clipped at 3% before no joke.

Yeah I can see my serratus, all my abs very clearly, I can see the fibers/striations on the middle traps, upper chest, anterior delts, and I'm at 12% bodyfat.

Bodybuilding is so visual which is all determined by a persons dna..

Small joints,full muscle bellys how a muscle inserts all come into play..

When I was 90kg I always got mistook for being over 100kg.look at kiwiol ,another with small joints and full muscle bellys..


Samir when he won the olympia he was close to 90 kg but looking at him you would swear he was 20kg heavier.illusion which is all down to genetics.

if you saw a bowl with oatmeal and blueberries in it, do you think you could throw ou a rough estimate as t what % of blueberries in the contents of that bowl?

now do the same thing with your body aand your bodyf fat... look in the mirror, or take a full body picture... stare for a while.. try to estimate the % of fat in your totasl body..

obviously its not gonna be very accurate, but i bet you could get within 5% as long as your being realistic

LOL I'd rather avoid the discussion about who's lower 1/3rd of the left glute is more shredded. 

[johnnynoname]

calipers are actually pretty accurate...too whom ever was alluding to them not being accurate

the only time that calipers aren't accurate is when the tester doesn't know how or where to get measurements from

the more sites you get readings from the more accurate the readings

I agree, if you use calippers I would say add anywhere from 5-10% to that number, for instance when I got clipped at 3% in actuality I was probably somewhere between 7-10%

[chaos]

This weight/height ratio puts me at about 6'2 218 contest shape...yeah thats exactly what Arnold competed at you saturated fat factory ...You need to get out of that single wide and learn a few things about shit...

You were much better when you kept your mouth shut and danced.

Anyone that has competed can get a better guest-a-mate then someone who has not...

State level comps placing 1 thru 3 usually would put people at approx/ 6 to 7.5 percent...If any of these guys can get the glutes ripped, its safe to say they are heading south of 6.5%

Well I can't see the fibers there but when I flex my lower back I get an interesting christmas tree formation that almost looks like an 8 pack... the muscles contract hard and angle down towards the spine, forming what looks like a big arrow pointing down with 8 layers. There are 8 of them and when they contract it almost looks similar to when you flex your abs as far as them becoming visible. At 12%.

It the diff/ with someone who is really shredded and someone who is ripped...Just the way it is...

I get monthly body composition analysis tests from my chiropractor's machine.

True. There will be certain spots you'll rarely see fibers at unless someone has extremely low bf.

[Danimal77]

Arnold was 8 % on stage , no where near the conditon of the guys today..

230-235 pounds @ 8% at his best

He was about 8% at the 1974 Mr. Olympia and he was well into his 240's there.

Calling bullshit, right here, right now.


Unless you post a pic and prove me wrong........even PM it to me like you said you would, little buddy.

Can I just PM a series of pictures to you in my whitie-tighties and you can just keep them to yourself in your private collection for personal use? 

[Rimbaud]

Holy fuck...glad this guy was called out...we can't have him getting away with this shit...

[TechnoViking]

You'll jump on any bandwagon just to fit in won't you? So you too think 6'2 218 contest shape is something special? GH15 is right about you What type of bunk gear are you pushing to think such things...

[Soundness]

TechnoViking has upstanding character and that is a constant in all his posts. He wouldn't lie about this. I believe him.

[Viking11]

At 235, Arnold was shredded, probably 4 to 5%. Also he had very light bones and wicked muscle shape.
