Could be, i don't think Jim Quinn could be off with his measurements, so it must be a typo.
What measurement did Jim Quinn mention?

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  ???
Brutal if true

You wanna hear a brutal story?

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.

An inside source told me 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.

Jim Quinn dables in chaos theory mathematics and philosophized that determining Flexes actual bodyfat percentage could set of a chain of catastrophic events.  When asked what the measurement was Jim merely drew the lemniscate and left it up to individual interpretation.

Chris and Rico mistook Jims drawing for 0.0 and from there the legend was born.



Actually,  what really happened was.....

Jim Quinn was using digital calipers. Well, the batteries needed replacing and the error code for dead battery was a flashing double zero. Jim, being the dim bulb that he was, immediately mistook this for zero. Zero fat percentage and told anyone who would listen to him that Flexes bodyfat percentage was 0.0.. No one had the heart to tell him the truth. Big Jim still stays up late at night marveling at what a genetic freak Flex was.

It’s the same thread from 2006. 😂  It keeps getting bumped.

And apparently the same post gets copied & pasted LOL. I just realized that.

I just saw a podcast where Samir Bannout said he was measured under water testing at 2.2% prior to the 82 or 83 Olympia.

I would like to know what this is if Samir was 2.2
