BMI or Body Mass Index is a very commonly used indicator for obesity. The possible ranges for this index are based on your Weight to a reference of Height.

One of the main challenges with this indicator is that it does not take into consideration how the weight is distributed - so it may not be a good reference for any individual that is active and exercising. For this purpose we leverage other mechanisms to help you determine what type of body composition you have based on other formulas.

Understanding your data

Looking at your current Height we can provide you additional information on what each of the Body Mass Index Ranges represent in actual Weight. This can show you additional reference points based on where you are, have been or would like to be weight wise and how this is mapped to the BMI value ranges.

The Waist to Hip ratio is another commonly used indicator to measure obesity. One of the advantages of this ratio is that both the Waist and the Hip measurement are variable in nature giving a good indication of progress as an individual changes body fat composition.

Understanding your data

Knowing that both your waist and hip can change at any given time, how will this translate back into understanding the WHR ranges? Review your Waist vs your Hip to understand how changes scale in reference to this Health Indicator.

The Waist to Height ratio is another commonly used indicator to measure obesity. The possible ranges for this index are based off your static Height and change as your body composition changes for your Waist. It is important to note that only changes in your Waist will have an impact on the value of this indicator.

Looking at your current Height we can provide you additional information on what each of the Health Indicator Ranges represent in actual Waist.

The fat free Mass index is an indicator primarily focused on muscle composition after having subtracted your body fat based on your current Body Fat Preferences. Similar to the BMI it is based off using your weight and height as a parameter. However, for the FFMI we are removing the fat mass based on the body fat we estimate to only compare your fat free mass (ie lean body mass).

Keep in mind that numbers for FFMI are estimated and driven primarily based on the accuracy of your body fat.

Understanding your data

Lean Body Mass and Body Fat go hand in hand. In reality, the Lean Body Mass is an estimate based on your body fat estimate. So it becomes a bit difficult to accurately represent your true lean body mass. As a result, we wanted to make sure we provide you insights into various lean body mass levels, against body fat and the FFMI ranges.

Based on the data we have available for you, we estimate your current lean body mass at approx 52.37 KG.

Various industry experts have created detailed formulas by reviewing natural body builders to try to come up with mechanisms to predict an individual's potential. To better understand your potential we are analysing the following three components:

Casey Butt, Ph.D.

Casey Butt, Ph.D. analyzed approx. 300 natural bodybuilding champions between the years of 1947 and 2010, in their best condition. Casey's formula is probably the most sophisticated and looking at many measures including Height, Wrist and Ankle to try to predict your potential. For the purposes of this formula we are assuming a body fat level of 10%.

Lean Body Mass Potential

73.12 KG

Difference

20.74 KG

Weight @ your current BF%

82.37 KG

Martin Berkhan

Martin Berkhan refers to your height. One stipulation exists where the lean body mass is assumed at a body fat level of 5%.

Lean Body Mass Potential

69.0 KG

Difference

16.63 KG

Weight @ your current BF%

77.73 KG

Fat Free Mass Index Boundary

Many consider that a Fat Free Mass index of 24 is the upper boundary for natural limits. As a result we look at your Height to calculate your lean body mass at that specific level.

Lean Body Mass Potential

66.63 KG

Difference

14.26 KG

Weight @ your current BF%

75.06 KG

Marc Perry

Marc Perry looks at natural potential with a short hand approach by purely looking at your height to predict a possible maximum. Its simply a scaling formula increasing/decreasing by the same amount for every inch in height.

Lean Body Mass Potential

64.85 KG

Difference

12.48 KG

Weight @ your current BF%

Understanding Your Data

Obviously your Lean Body mass potential is impacted by your current Body Fat levels, so getting a better idea of where your actual weight has to be based on the different lean body mass levels can provide you additional information to better determine what you should be targetting at different body fat levels.

Now that we have a solid understanding of what your potential Lean Body Mass ranges are, we want to dial in on what this means for you in regards to timing, ie, how long is it going to take you to reach those limits?

Another interesting formula done by Casey Butt in combination with his research to better understand how long it will take you to reach your maximum potential.

Annual Gain Potential

Figure out how lean body mass gains scale year over year. You guessed it, 50% aka your "Noob Gains" can be had in the first year of training

Rate Of Gain - Comparisons

Now lets combine it all together, based on the potential lean body mass formula and the rate of gain, we can further determine how much time you have left before you reach your full potential.
