Ffmi

[Robert NL]

Is it a legit/usefull metric?

I read that you consider a ffmi of 27,5 to be impossible without chem aid. How do you figure this is spread over different combination.

You said 230 @ 15% @ 5'11 = 27.5 FFMI to be unlikely

I'm currently 240 @20% @5'10 = 27.7 FFMI... Impossible? 100% clean. Hell I don't even take whey bcaa or creatine.

I can imagine that with higher BF more is possible though this should be accounted for in the formula.

Thoughts?

Yea you nailed it. In general, unless someone is verifiably (via DEXA) under 15% w/ an FFMI of >25.0, I don't think it's "impossible" w/o aid. The shorter, taller, or "less lean" someone is, the higher their FFMI could probably be.

The shorter... or "less lean" someone is...

Sounds like me allright.

I don't know how anyone who lives in Amsterdam could possibly be lean. Those brownies are delicious!

So true. Do I hear some regret for not being in Amsterdam this year?

I'm still hoping for a full seminar in Europe.
