this guy is a FREAK!!

sports' ultimate numbers game, in February 2006 leading up to the draft the following April. Davis showed them, and the scouts and coaches liked what they saw: 6'3", 253 pounds, 4.450/0 body-fat. He bench-pressed 225 pounds for 33 reps and ran the 40 in 4.38 seconds, both marks better than any tight end at the combine ever. He vertical-leaped 42 inches and broad-jumped 1o'8" from a standstill, both bests for tight ends in 2006.

4% bodyfat?

That's great if you want to look good in photos... but for a pro football player that is going to be suicide. Your bodyfat is your body's shock absorber. Many is the pro body builder that was killed in a minor car accident because their body fat was so low they had no cushioning to absorb the impact. Playing pro football has the effect on your body of getting into 16 car wrecks in an ordinary season.

There were several articles written about it when Kay Baxter died.

She wasn't the first or the last.

The bottom line was that accidents that may have been survivable to a normal person had killed people who were ultra low body fat.

Injuries in impact sports to people with low body fat is nothing new. It's why linebackers don't want six packs.

There was an article in Muscle & Fitness late last year with alot of this stuff in it as well as "his routine". I called BS on the 4% BF back then. I wish I had the pics to post. He is around 9% in my estimation. He is still a lean strong mofo but they hyped up shit a little with that little white lie hoping bb's wouldnt catch it. the general public is easily fooled since a majority are out of shape and have no clue what bf is.

LOL

At 4% BF people are on the verge of death due to lack of fat. 8 or 9% BF is very lean.

I love the kids that say they are "like 2% BF" I just laugh everytime.

You believe everything you read?

I heard injectable test will destroy your liver... Shit that Hooten kid's dad even said you inject AAS into your veins...

Point is, most people have NO idea what they are talking about...

And I would be hesitant to believe the simple cushioning of an additional 10-20 lbs of bf would save a life... come on...


Also on another point... Skinfold bf testing is a much different animal than being dunked or using a "bodpod" .... Bodpod/dunking typically see what "we" consider 6-8% or so, more like 12%

So bf measurement is all relative, and of course how you hold it varies.. plenty of folks out there could be 14-15% (caliper) and show abs... and that just isnt built into my genetic code...

I think you called it on the money. 9% is a LOT more believeable than 4%.

Looks like 7-9%
