TC in St. Louis Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) 2%!! That's incredible. I don't think Christian Bale got down to that in The Machinist!! Dude must be in phenomenal shape!! Edited May 9, 2015 by TC in St. Louis
NoSaint Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Not even joking- is that healthy?!? I'm no expert but it seems crazy
John from Riverside Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I personally think that bodyfat is too low for an athlete....... but he is with NFL people now...they will get that worked out
217014170 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 It really depends on the assessment method. The margin of error is really quite wide...again depending on the method. Like everything in the NFL, individual measurements are used to compare against a population. Each team may use different methods which makes consistency/accuracy a challenge. Case in point, Jeff Burris routinely was calculated as having almost 0% body fat using the Bod Pod. With a margin of error of 5%-15%, BMI is best used (and, to be fair, usually is) as a complement to other metrics.
Big Turk Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah I doubt that...even the lowest percentage bodybuilders taking fat shredding steroids and completely dehydrating themselves before competitions are usually only 3%...
YoloinOhio Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Ironically Jameis was his college roommate and his physique has been criticized with assumption that he doesn't eat well.
dayman Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Ironically Jameis was his college roommate and his physique has been criticized with assumption that he doesn't eat well. Assumption? The entire world knows what he eats. I don't even need to say it. Edited May 9, 2015 by Rex'sOffense
Protocal69 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Nothing a tour of buffalo's best eats can't fix Yeah thats exactly what Rex Ryan said
YoloinOhio Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah thats exactly what Rex Ryan saidLol I didn't hear that. I did hear he said it has been awhile since his was 2%.
Not at the table Karlos Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Coy wire was around this percentage. IIRC one machinemeasured him at negative body fat
Lurker Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 John Miller's pretty low for a linemen as well -- 11.5% -- the second lowest measurement for any OL at the combine. He may be short for an OG, but he's a solid 300-pounds...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Not even joking- is that healthy?!? I'm no expert but it seems crazy Lance Armstrongs BPM are at around 30-35 for a cyclist. For the average person they would be hospitalized and when hooked up to a heart monitor it would be going crazy and it would show a flat line with a little blip every so often. Unless you are a doctor it's hard to say about the body fat thing. Things are different for athletes who train for specific things vs. us the average individual.
