This is serious now, no Jim quinn/felx wheeler 0.0% jokes please.
I think it was Lee who said they are between high 3 to low 4%.
In another thread melvin said he's alredy 4% at 261.
-
Its all just guess work on their parts.. Truthfully only a rare few bodybuilders have gotten as low as 3% (e.g. Munzer). The norm is 4-5%.. And measuring with a calipers means Jack Sh*t!!
-
Just jump on stage real quick with a caliper and excuse yourself.
-
I heard that once in a time there was a bodybuider who got tested at 0.0% BF. Anyone know who this bodybuilder is and where he was tested?
Thanks
-
Dont quote me but I heard it was Flex Wheeler. He was measured by Jim Quinn I believe ;D
-
calipers are flawed because they measure surface fat(?) you actually need to have a certtain degree of fat for your organ to live. they say as low as you can get is like 2.8%BF without dying. now ronnie said he has done the dunk tank and read at 0 i do beleive but who knows.
calipers are a good judge of where you are at with your dieting but they are not concrete numbers. but what do i know.
-
The genius Coleman claims to be 5%.
In the offseason.
Whateva playa.

You know, yesterday, melvin himself posted he was 4% BF and 266. Then he deleted the post for some reason. Strange.

because today he will post he is 267 @ 3% bf

Perhaps. I actually did the math at the time, as it seemed melvin jumped a LOT of muscle weight with the chad. And, it's newsworthy when a pro gives a BF% number, cause we love to quote them on it.

I was being sarcastic with my reply.
-
Well I know neither aren't pro but I strongly believe that they're around 75% fat
-
Yep. Bodybuilding is definetely a black mans sport ::)
-
You go below 3% and your getting near death.Body cannot function much below that.So these people who say 3 or lower like 2-1% are full of shit or they are in hospital.

Thanks Lee, telling it like it is mate.
240, Yeah thats what prompted me to start this thread, seeing melving post thats hes 260 plus at 4%, the fact that he later deleted the post sums it up.
-
Lex luger used to claim 270lbs at 3 % bodyfat year round whilst on the road.
Was he lying?
I couldnt take it if he was

"Thank You. Real Dumb. Right now as of today I am 261 at 4%bf.
Marvelous"
It's still there. ;D

Someone said something about Flex wheeler and 0.0% bodyfat.
I for one would like to know more

You would be dead .Don't you people get it?

Yes Jim Quin did a skinfold measurement on Flex Wheeler at golds gym Venice, and it was the lowest bf ever recorded.
0,0 % percent bodyfat. that's insane.. maybe he is not really into fat foods?
-

Hey Lee ,whats up?
Well, we (getbiggers) have some kind of theory...We believe you, its a fact that a person with 0.0% bodyfat is dead...
But Flex test seems to be valid...
So our theory is, Flex was dead!!!!!
Flex is the only DEAD bodybuilder to win 12 pro shows!!! and off course he would had low bodyfat...after he didnt had to eat at all!!!! Thats why the ninjas didnt kill him...he was already dead!!!!! The same is valid for the car accident...
monster explanation!!!!

crazy, Lee you think that this is at all possible?
-
ok..will someone tell me who the douchebag.jpg pic is? That is funny as shit!
-
Is this thread about stupid people who believe that 0.0% -3% bullshit?
Maybe God builds the earth in 7 days. I think you believe this too! :D

either melvin is lying or you misquote him. his small frame can't handle 261lbs at 4% bf

impossible. It would have to be a skeleton. It's hard enough keeping 3-4 for a day not 0 though.
-
Our bodies require a certain amount of "essential fat" in order to stay alive. For men its on the order of 2-4%; women, 10-12%. A contest ready "ripped" BB will be at around 5-6%.

While doing the 93 Olympia commentary, Jim Quinn had a 0.0% bodyfat reading taken, the lowest ever recorded, apparently.

This is quite possibly the least funny thing on this site now.
It's so over used that it may actually become funny again soon, like bell bottoms.
-
Billy Smith did the skinfold measurements on flex at Golds Venice a week before the 93 O and Jim Quinn reported it at the O during the broadcast, can't you guys get your stories straight.
-
What bodyfat did he conclude at Mike?
-
I believe it was in the vicinity of 0.00000000000000001% and -0.00000000000000001%, you should ask davidpaul he seems to have read up on this in a few other threads :)
-
4-5% is VERY low.
-
The usaly got to 3.5% via caliper reading for my shows !!! and I was always seen to be as the leanest in the show !!! I had a reputation for this !!!
Most of our clients acheive usally around 4.5 to 5 % avg,in their readings for there shows .
-
Chuck Norris's bodyfat grows from the inside of the skelaton and can only be measure by negative's....He was close to -3% bodyfat back in 87'....Jim Quinn did the test so its legit...
-
I think that the measurements you get from skin fold tests and dunk tanks simply measure your surface body fat. I don't think that there is a way out there to accurately measure the total body fat %. As far as Flex's 0% body fat measurement is concerned all that could possibly be accurate about that is he was the lowest tested compared to others.
-
most try to get down to at least 2%/
-
any one that get down to 3% and it IS possible,,,never do any damage and place bad because he's on the verge of death,,muscles look horrible at this bf%.
most are 4-5% with tons of muscle mass and tight waist,, that give the illusion of being 3-4%
under 3% = an hour or so from death
-
Yeah, When will people realize that that Jim quinn/ Flex wheeler bodyfat line Is so not funny anymore.
-
You need to be 4 percent to survive

I agree, Jim's bodyfat at 0.0% at the 93 O is no laughing matter. >:(

I'm confused now. ???
Was it Flex Wheeler or Jim Quinn that was tested 0.0% BF?
Anyone know? Thanks

Most of these pro's are such bullshitters I am surprized one of them hasn't come up with a negative number bodyfat percentage. ::)

Correction, Ronnie claimed that they kept getting negative numbers for him via hydrostatic weighing. Then "they used the calipers, and got a number finally."
This could be true, as all measures of bodyfat are based on bone density averages. It's pretty reasonable to assume that pros have higher bone density after years of heavy lifting, high body weight, and growth hormone abuse.
So, they very well may measure 3% or lower, but they aren't REALLY 3% or lower.
