    Default Myths about players bodyfat %

    In the past month i have seen numerous posters claim such or such player has a bodyfat less than 5% or around that number. Those people most of the time dont know what they're talking about so i looked up on the net and found some pictures of guys at low bodyfat% just so you can compare them to NBA players you claim to be 5% BF or lower.

    Approximatively 15% BF


    Approximatively 12%BF


    Approximatively 10% BF


    Approximatively 7-9% BF


    Approximatively 5-7% BF


    Approximatively 3% BF (this condition can only be held for a few hours at a time. Not a healthy condition to stay in due to lower water level.)



    Now i dare anyone to try and name me a player they still believe is under 5-7% BF

    Lebron weighs 265

    The guy who went from 15% to 7-9% is pretty ridiculous

    Ignorance is bliss.
    The guy is just huge that doesn't correlate with his body fat %
    You can be a stick with 10% bodyfat you dont have to have a ripped 6 pack and huge muscles

    To have 2-4% bodyfat, you not only need to be EXTREMELY ripped, but you also need to have a LOT of muscle to change your bodyweight/bodyfat ratio.

    Which is exactly my main point, their bodies look nothing like NBA players so how can one compare?

    I think that guy is named Skippy Podar. For some reason, I was recently thinking about him since I started hitting the weights again. He has a website once that my friend linked to me. It's pretty f'n goofy.

    I hear dumb shit like all the time, Ive been 3% body fat all my life and I gurantee I'm healthier and more athletic than anyone here. I don't randomly pass out from being tired or some bull. I hear this myth all my life.

    Yeah but you can get the gist by looking how defined they are not their size

    Not really, their muscle definition makes it hard to compare teh fat around their body. I know people who are around 8% and do not look to be in shape so I can easily believe certain bball players have less than five.

    Post your pic. Or post a pic of someone with a similar physique. Electronic and caliper tests can be off by a lot. Only way to really tell is to get tested in water or in those egg shaped pressure things.
