Sad, if Amare wasn't so stupid and had more basketball IQ he could tear shit up.

[baseline bum]

I like Amare Stoudemire. He's easily one of my favorite bigmen of all-time. Pretty impressive to come back from microfracture and still be one of the top 2 or 3 bigmen in the game athletically.

'I'm at 2 percent body fat and 245 pounds and my (knees) ... I feel like I can do anything I want on the court again,' he said."

To put that in perspective, Dime drops this knowledge: "Karl Malone, who was called "the strongest and best conditioned basketball player on the planet," by The Sporting News, weighed in at five-percent body fat and 265 lbs. It's tough to imagine anyone being more jacked than Malone was."

David Robinson was around the 2% range at times in his career I believe.

david was fit

Is 2% a good thing? Sounds dangerous.

What is Phelps the swimming 8 goldie?

if you have less than 2.1% or something you are dead. someone lied to amare or he once again proves his stupidity.

[Dex]

Yeah, I'm not doctor or anything but I'm pretty sure that anything less than like 6% is a major health concern.

But whatever you say, Amare. Let's hear more about how the NBA should change its rules.

2009's the year when the Suns go from being Nash's team to Amare's team.

Thats not a good thing for Suns fans

impossible. if i recall, being below 8% can be fatal.

[Pero]

Not impossible.

Body fat percentage:

How to determine Body Fat Percentage:
http://www.brianmac.co.uk/fatcent.htm

(although it seems to me that this calculator doesn't go under 8%)

[Indazone]

Only dudes I ever heard of at 2 percent body fat were elite marathon runners. Dudes trained like 4 hrs a day and ran over 100 miles a week. But hey, it's possible that Amare could be training like that. Likely? No.

Crossing a thin line, eating disorders in athletes:

For males, body fat percentage should not fall below 5 percent.

[JamStone]

Yeah, long distance runners and certain types of body builders very easily are in the 3-5% body fat range. It's not fatal to elite athletes. In fact, it's not really dangerous to be that low depending on your workout routine and diet/nutrition. But, if someone is at 2% body fat, they are a fucking machine.

[RonMexico]

Maybe he meant he's lost 2% of his body fat since last year... which would make more sense.

Then again, I have .05% body fat... but that's because I'm in jail.

[tlongII]

I've read that Phelps has anywhere from 3% to 8% body fat so there's NO WAY that Amare is at 2%. The interesting thing is to read about what Phelps eats. Look at this!

Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches; cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; 5-egg omelette; 3 sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; 2 cups of coffee

Lunch: Half-kilogram (1 pound) of enriched pasta; 2 large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread; energy drinks

Dinner: Half-kilogram of pasta, with carbonara sauce; large pizza; energy drinks

WOW! :lol

Maybe it wasn't 2% then, but it was low enough for team doctors to tell him it was unhealthy.

[slowchild25]

"As a rookie in 1985 he came to the 49ers at a muscular 208 pounds, but now he weighs 196. He is so lean that you wonder if he's sick. He likes to mess with his body fat, wants it to know that he is its master. For Rice, fat is a cornerback in man coverage with no safety in sight, a minor and ultimately irrelevant nuisance. Eschewing dietary fat, he got down to 189 a year or so ago, but the weight loss was too much. His starved body was literally eating up his muscles. His trainer ordered him to start eating things like ice cream.

"Under four percent body fat and I don't feel good," Rice states. "I'm a health-food fanatic, but getting that low really hurt my performance. I'm at 4.8 percent now, and I feel good."

so how does it feel to get cornholed with having no ass?

[bdictjames]

I was looking some Amare videos on youtube, all of which he still has #32 and the guy could I think be top 10 big man of all-time if he'd work on his game and dominate much like Shaq did when healthy.

Could this really be accurate. I find it hard to believe he does virtually no fruits or veggies.

[nashty]

Amare does and says alot of stupid things, but he did had a very inteligent decision in the offseason, one decision many spurs fans wish their beloved Manu would have taken. He decided to rest and work on his knee instead of playing for his country in the Olympics. He deserves credit for that one.

[kobyz]

George Hill has 3.0 body fat so there is no chance that Amare is less

I've read some similar accounts. Apparently he was at ESPN studios and grossed everybody out by going in the corner and eating a large pizza by himself. I'm sure he does eat some fruits and veggies, but his carb intake is (IIRC) at like 6000 carbs/day. Can't get to that on fruits and veggies.

[pauls931]

Malone was all about elbows. If Amare could throw elbows like Malone, he'd get about 30 rebounds a game.

[balli]

This is 5%, Amare is crazy.
