Tom Aspinall Shares his InBody Scan Report Results

LMFAO

Aspinall is definitely not 11%.

 

[JBJ was here]

Haven't seen him with 11% yet.
Usually he looks more around 15+%.

The image clearly shows previous measurements of 12.4% and 13.1%, and his weight hasn't changed much. Aspinall was never carrying as much fat as you think.

11.2% is pretty much right in the heart of the range for elite male athletes who don't cut weight and aren't sprinters or marathoners.

Surprised it shows as 11pct based on how he looks. That is insane, wonder what his muscle mass would've been when he was 13, 15, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28. Like how it built up.
Interesting to see. That 11% is still only 60kg/130lbs or so of muscle. And only like 30lbs is fat. So almost 100lbs bones, skin, tendon (unless that's counted with tje muscle?), organs, blood etc. Kinda creepy imagining it so imma stop.

BMR of 2500+ calories. Average male is 1600 apparently (guessing that average is a slightly obese man). Wonder how many calories he's gotta eat with his training.

He'd still rape all you turds calling him "fat".

 

[Hdfi]

115.7 kg with 59 kg of muscle mass and only 11.2% body fat (with margin of error). Absolute unit.

more than half of his body is pure muscle.


Jones made the right decision.

Didn't know he swung that way

LMFAO

Yeah he has historically been more like 20-25% bodyfat in the cage. Makes me wonder if he's on a "special diet" now that he's fighting an opponent that's a real threat. I'm thinking Vegas knows about it too, that's why he's a big favorite vs Gane but only a minuscule favorite against a way past prime Jones, because Vegas know Jones would be on the same regimen for a big fight like that.

Because he's not. Those dexa scan are not super accurate at gauging bodyfat. I've never seen Tom with visible abs, he's closer to the 15% range, which is still quite good for a HW.

Chain mail big papa pump was the juiciest of the NWO era imo

15% is being very generous....

 

[MDoza]

What’s the benefit of being at that low of body fat when he’s not even hitting 265lbs?

 

[Gamer2k4]

Nope. BMI 30= obese.

That's so odd that they track both BMI and body fat percentage. I thought BMI's only value was that it was a tolerable approximation of the average person's body fat. If you're not using it for that, what's the point?

 

[Söze Aldo]

Probably, guess I'm grading Tom on the curve of obese heavyweights. I'm not an expert at eyeballing bodyfat % but he has looked leaner in his recent fights.

What would you gauge he is here

Tom was 251 lbs there.

It's such a simple calculation that throwing an extra number on the report makes it look extra comprehensive. You're right though, it's pointless if you have bf% information.

That's a very good and normal body fat percentage for a high-level athlete that isn't cutting weight.

He actually looks leaner in that pic than I'm used to, I could even believe he breaks the 20% barrier there like 18-19% or something. Or maybe it's just the sideways angle that is creating an unrealistic idea of how lean he was.

I'm used to him looking like this so at least 20-25%.

Tom claiming 11% is almost as absurd as Moneyberg saying he's 10%. Jailton Almeida is probably closer to that bodyfat level....

For the record I don't think it matters at all, it's not like there's some huge performance advantage at HW that would come from dropping from 20% to 10...

 

[El Fernas]

So he ended up being obese, got it.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

"Almost as"


I agree that 11% is bunk and the inbody scans are known to flub bf %, but not by some absurd amount, he's probably at around 15%

 

[mkt]

he is literally me

You with a little less fighting skill.

It's probably just a measure that is automatically one of the things that is calculated, not anything they specifically selected. Obviously, it's not very relevant for athletes.
