OF course it's true. Are you stupid or something?

All public and private statements from IFBB pros regarding weight, body fat percentage, and amount of drugs used are 100% FACT.

If he was 0% bodayfat, he wouldn't be able to walk or move his joints at all. Then of course, he would be dead

I learned this is High School, so unless you aren't in high school, go read some books.

Actually, this is one of those that just has to get regenerated about once or twice per year. It's a getbig classic.

Post by: suckmymuscle on December 25, 2008, 02:00:08 PM: No. The minimum that one can go without organ failure sets in is 4% for most people, or 2% for the truly genetically ectomorphic. 0% is phyiologically imposible for Humans.

This and the Mike Tyson-Chris Cormier incident are usually regularly regenerated a couple of times per year on getbig.

Post by: D-bol on December 27, 2008, 10:23:08 PM: Yeah, totally ridiculous.
Mind you - 5% bf on a 265 bodybuilder is still like 13 pounds of fat.
There needs to be fat cells around intestines and other organs for them to function normally.
Fat also keeps the body warm. I observed that when I get lean I feel much colder in winter than when I am a bit softer.

Post by: JOCKTHEGLIDE on December 28, 2008, 04:16:17 AM: 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.

;D

Post by: disco_stu on November 01, 2013, 12:05:35 AM: he wouldve had to have a skinfold of less than 6 mm, from 4 sites

athletes rarely go below 30. I suppose 10-15 might be possible... but that's not 0% fat then...
Title: Re: Is it true that Flex Wheeler had a bodyfat of 0.0%
Post by: falco on November 01, 2013, 07:36:29 AM: I remember from school that the minimum is 3% because the human body must have some fat surrounding the supra-renal glandula or something.
