    Interestingly according to simple online calculators my bodyfat is 16.7% and my BMI 22.4 which is pretty much ideal.

    I think I'm a little fatter than that, mainly because I have very little muscle.

    But as this is me at the bottom it's not bad and gives me something to build from.

    I'd hate to start with a BMI of like 30 or something.

    Well i haven't had my body fat percentage taken, but i can clearly see my sixpack. Which normally means below 10 percent, so i'd say atleast a good 9 percent body fat.

    How do you work out what your body fat percentage is? I really have no idea how that works....

    I'm a lanky skinny, bugger with a devilish metabolism so I can't see my body fat ratio being that high, but would have no idea how to score it. I'm 6'3 and and weigh in at about 76-77kg/167-169lbs (not that I would ever weigh in mind!). Not a whole lot of lard I could trim. I don't have a six pack or anything though, so I'm sure there is something there, but not a whole heap.

    No, that's not quite true, I just did a cm to inches conversion and I am actually 6'2. I am sorry for any damage caused by this misinformation. Particularly to Bruce Lee who has an idealised image of me. I may have broken his poor little heart.

    Well according to the calculators I can find online you're definitely not overweight.

    6 ft 2 and 169 lbs gives you a BMI of 21.6 which is ideal.

    That would give you a rough estimate bodyfat percentage of around 6%.

    I imagine if you can't see a six pack then like me you must be a low muscle guy and therefore would bump it up to over 10%

    Like Ice said less than ten percent and if you had any muscle you'd have a six pack for sure.

    I think you need to do some weight training like me, as it sounds like you're pretty much fat, skin and bone like myself

    No, definitely not overweight. If anything a little bit too skinny. Certainly not very muscular.

    Yeah, could defo use some weight training. My arms are very skinny. Might be a good idea to start doing a few situps every day too. I alway start exercise with good intentions but then I get lazy again. It's hard to stay focussed when it comes to health and I see why Ricky Hatton has all but given up on it in his quest for pleasure. I doubt I will ever end up like him though.

    Right now am probs over 10% easy, maybe like 11-12% I'd guess. I'm not far off in stature from you miles and as well weight, but probs 6-8 lbs heavier and an inch shorter.

    I got no current 6 pack either. To be honest bout the 6 pack deal, that don't mean a lot. I've had it, but not cuz of how great of shape I was in, but because I had to cut weight, and water weight to make fights. At one point I was close to 5% bodyfat and I looked freakishly ripped. Did that to get to 154lbs a but more then a year ago for a provincial tournament. And it was easily the worst condition I'd ever been in, in regards to healthy for the sake of fighting.

    If you're 6 ft 1 and say 175 lbs that would be 12.6% according to the most basic calculation. As a boxer you're clearly more muscular than me and Miles as well so I expect that would be accurate or maybe even a little high.

    I'd love to have a 12% body fat, and be 6 ft 1 and 175 lbs, and fucking 14 again, you cunt
