Interesting Formula on Max Natural Muscularity

[Mark4124]

I am reading this book call the Adonis Complex. It is basically about guys who have insane body image problems. I am sure you have met a few of them in your travels. Like the guys who are huge but think they are disgustingly small or guys who are aneroxic. At any rate, they are at least honest in this book about roids and their effectiveness. Interesting thing is though they came up with this formula for human muscularity. They call it Fat Free Mass Index. To find it the formula is
FFMI = (LBM/H^2) + 6.1 x (1.8-H)

LBM = lean body mass in kilos

H = height in meters

They believe that the highest natural score for this index is about 26. They believe that anything greater than that is a pretty sure be that it is roid induced. Interesting to think about. Try for yourself.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the book, the formula is interesting. I personally think the book is damned funny. Some of these dudes are afraid to sun in their backyard because a plane might fly over and see that they are small. I would grant you that I am a little bit muscle obsessed and I am sure plenty of you here are as well, but that type of insecrurity about your size and body is absolutely rediculous and I would assume quite rare. I have however known guys who have become obsessed with body fat and that type of thing and have gone aneroxic. Such are the fools at my crazy college gym.

it is not funny to the people who suffer from this

I suppose that it isn't, but it is still hard not to laugh at the absolute absurdity of some of these people's concerns. Sorry if you are one such individual.
