PRO fighters fat free mass index(FFMI)

[Fight Professor]

Costa is leaner than 11-12% in the cage. Looks closer to 8-9% IMO

Pre-fight weight cuts do not have that much affect on fat ratio. People simply look leaner when they are dehydrated.

I didn’t even realize how advanced our eyes were in terms of body analysis . Imagine the money we could save if we just ditched expensive equipment and just looked at people more.

Like TS wisely said, these numbers are about natural bodybuilders, not about MMA fighters who have to do a lot of cardio specially if they are prepping for 25 minutes of action.

For that reason, MMA fighters should have less lbm potential than bodybuilders. That, or they cardio absolutely suck. This is one of the reasons why GSP is so suspect (elite cardio + high fat free mass = not natty)

Note that all the other guys simple can't employ an endurance / wrestling heavy gameplan, specially under USADA

Nice to see you referred to ts as wise. Notice GSP’s numbers weren’t above the 25% wise ts referred to.

This is not "advanced" analaysis, its simply expeeiance in body fat, most guys overeetimate how lean they are, a real 6% body fat looks like an alien, that coupled with the fact that all of these advanced systems out there are innacurate, i would say im very close on these numbers.

Why? Are you any of the fighters above?

Have you ever seen @Fraz and Arnold in the same place......?

Didn't think so.

The FFMI is notoriously shitty. It's especially unreliable for predicting steroid use as your body fat goes over 10% or so.

Example, I'm 5'10ish, 255 pounds and pretty fat (20% or so).

That puts my FFMI at over 28. I look absolutely nothing like arnold.

HIGHLY doubt you're at 20% bf weighing 255 at 5'10. No one has a FFMI at 28+ without being on roids and genetically gifted.

 

[William Huggins]

There is no exact way of mesuring bf%, even dexa scans are notoriously innacurate, if you're experianced enough, you can do a better job with you eyes

Just no, please stop, internalised fat says Hi, you know him he hangs out around your internal organs........

Wow, internalised fat, im guessing the FFMI scale doesnt take that into account, holy shit what about weight of internal organs, veins, blood, hair? Wtf are you on about dawg

That's my point exactly. The FFMI is a stupid system. If you think 255 at 20% BF isnt achievable naturally, I don't know what to tell you.

Heres another example. Humor me on this. Let's say I do truly weigh 255 at 20% bodyfat. Let's say I gain 29 pounds of fat and one pound of muscle. This puts my stats at 285 pounds and something like 29% bodyfat. By no means is that a physique to be proud of.

My FFMI increases from 28.3ish to 29.3ish. This is so dumb I'm not even sure why I'm bothering. The FFMI really doesn't work well.

Your eyes do not take that into account and levels of hydration say Hi too........

You missed the point that even an above 24 would be highly suspect for an MMA sport due to the catabolic nature of endurance training. FFM is also not a percentage

 

[AlanGregson]

Im guessing these guys arent all that hydrated since a lot of theme cut weight and you also dont want to be taking a piss in the middle of a fight, just stop

 

[William Huggins]

What do you think you do after making weight the day before, do you even know what a water cut is..........

Stop being a troll........

Have you even done a water cut?

 

[AlanGregson]

Stop being a troll........

You try to get back to the point of being normally hydrated and you piss the rest out, if you're holding excess water you might have diabetes, you should get into contact with your doctor if that is so, also the ffmi scale takes water into account, the more muscle mass you have the more water your body holds, because muscle is mostly water, also one of the reasons muscular fighters can cut more weight, generally speaking ofc

 

[Intellidamus]

You missed the point that even above 24 it would be highly suspect for an MMA sport due to the catabolic nature of endurance trainings. FFM is also not a percentage

Oh so he said 25 but to bunch GSP in there we have a “point” of 24.
And my bad, been dealing in percentages and automatically typed that.

 

[Sano]

That's my point. The FFMI is a stupid system. If you think 255 at 20% BF isnt achievable naturally, I don't know what to tell you.

20% bf at 5'10, 255lbs would put your FFMI at 29,2. No, I call bullshit on that one. Your bf is probably closer to 30% than it is to 20%. How do you know where you are at?

 

[AlanGregson]

Oh so he said 25 but to bunch GSP in there we have a “point” of 24.
And my bad, been dealing in percentages and automatically typed that.

No, you again missed the point, you should go back and read it again, i said anything above 24 for a fighter would be very suspect because of the catabolic nature of mma training, bodybuilders and fighters dont train the same, not even close
