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.
Judge for yourself.

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  ???

Jim Quinn said that they did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. He also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

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.

It should be mentioned that...Jim Quinn said that they did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. He also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

That's what Jim Quinn said though!!!

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 !!!!!

 I must have missed the part where someone said what Flex's body fat was measured at.
