Tim drank 2% milk last year, maybe.
A person can safely drop down to 5-6 % as many professional body builders do during the weeks before a show. Any lower than 5% and you run the risk of organ and nervous system failure. if anyone has ever seen anyone with a body fat % lower than 4%, often times the exhibit symptoms such as distended stomach and swelling from water retention and rarely look as skinny as they are

Karl Malone was supposedly around 5% body fat.
Timmy Duncan is no mailman.
Bruce Lee supposedly had 1% body fat.
Maybe that's why he died from taking an aspirin?
nevermind, it was actually 10%.
T.O. and Chad Johnson are at 0%.
No they aren't.
swimmers need more body fats than the usual athletes though, maybe bet 15-16%.body fat.
for a 20-yr old J.R. Smith, a basketball player he has to maintain not less than 8%-10% body fat. That's around 17 lbs his total weight.
if he's currently 1%=2.2 lbs. IMO, it's quite alarming than worth rejoicing. He's not on athletics.
I didn't want to have to do this but....this famous photo is from the cover of Life Magazine of Biafran (Nigerian blockade) famine.
unfortunately this is what you would look like if you had 0 or 1% body fat
^ Damn, that's horrible.

Thats more like in the negatives man.I didn't want to have to do this but....this famous photo is from the cover of Life Magazine of Biafran (Nigerian blockade) famine.

Jesus Christ.
i checked & i found an article about his body fat %...
Still, J.R. Smith's father must be kidding. 1% is too low.The average American male's percentage of body fat is 15-20%. The average professional athlete's is 7-8%. Jordan's body fat was measured at 4%.

I just saw an article that said Lance Armstrong started the Tour de France at around 4-5%. I also saw that Jordan was once measured at 3.4%...So it seems from some of the articles that an athlete can be as low as in the 3s.
A Health book (Holt Health, 1994 edition) I have in my library says that a man's essential body fat required is 3% of their body weight. So it looks like anything lower than 3% draws on your essential fat and is considered unhealthy.
....and here is an article on Sports Performance and a paragraph on body fat.

Fat-free Body Mass & Lean Body Mass
The fat-free body mass (FFBM) represents the body mass devoid of all fat whereas lean body mass (LBM) contains a small percentage of essential fat. LBM is a theoretical value developed by Behnke. For men Behnke considered it to be FFBM+3% essential fat and for females FFBM+12% fat (3% essential fat + 9% sex specific essential fat). Many researches use the terms FFBM and LBM interchangeably.
See, this forum is both entertaining and educational.

it was only a matter of time till gig told us his body fat %
Wasn't Terry mings, I think in the year he got snubbed for the All Star game, 91 92, at 3 or 4 percent body fat?
I remember he in one of th summers went at the weights and the excercises HARD CORE.
The kid in that picture looks eerily like Keon Clark.
aww roll eyes
tough .
'twas in Health or something, and watched a video about walking as a good way of exercising, and my teacher said she had a 1% body fat. She definitely wasn't ripped, so you don't have to look like David Robinson to have low body fat.
It's a good thing you read this thread now, so that you can be informed.... because it sounds like your Health teacher was trying too hard to impress you.
