lol do we need to post pictures of people at different bodyfat levels? Have you seen the man up close?
Not as inacurate a testing method as your eye sight, which suggests to you that Mo green was 7% bodyfat.
No, the methods you claim are likely more inaccurate.
I said clearly that I wasn’t suggesting that bodyfat% was the most important factor. I said it was one of many factors (in sprinting speed.)
‘Lol’ what? None of the sprinters ‘well over 8%’ are not running 6.5 seconds for 60 meters are they? No, they are not. And I don’t recall saying anything about Simeon in this thread.
You probably are a bit fat and chubby and you probably think you’re in great shape. Lol to you.
I guarantee you that I am leaner than you and leaner than some of the athletes mentioned in the thread, but that is neither here nor there. There are people over 8% who have run 6.5. In fact, one was tested at 11% and he ran 6.5x at a major meet. If you weren’t such an ass I’d probably clue you in.
‘School statements?’ ‘Stupid’. You are quite the critique aren’t you? For some reason, you wanted to make this personal. There are no ‘school statements’ in anything that I have said. Some of what I have said in this thread, was from reading scientific journals, that were conducted. When I mentioned (admittedly without referance - doesn’t mean I didn’t read them) the papers that showed correlations between bodyfat loss and sprint speed improvement for the soccer players tested. When I mentioned the school children who were tested and the ones with lower bodyfat tended to have the faster times, there was nothing stupid about it. Personally, I have never seen a ‘soft’ physique in a world class sprinter. I’ve never seen a remotely fat sprinter in my life.
How is it personal? Those are stupid statements. Correlation =/= causation and it didn’t say that bodyfat was directly correlated with sprint speed. Obviously an obese person will be slow. The difference between 10% and 7% is small a nd the difference between 7% and 5% is even smaller. I don’t see it making as much of an impact as MANY other things.
I am not talking about fat sprinters. If you are at 12%, you will see your abs and people will think you are 7-8%. If you are 8%, most people will probably think you are 5%. If you are 6%, people will think you are 3%. And etc.
