Looking at him, I figured his body fat percentage wasn't quite that low, but NFL combines tend to be full of hyperbole, strictly to produce ratings, of which it succeeded greatly.

Brian Sutterer MD there is a ZERO % chance he is 1.6%. Organ failure starts around 3%. The fat in the bottom of your feet starts to really disappear around 4-5% he wouldn’t even be able to walk yet alone be alive at 1.6. You should have addressed that the number was completely false. Everyone is believe this garbage and hyping a man who is easily 8-10% bf.

You're telling me that as a doctor you think that theres a possibility that this guy who is not leaner than body builders even near their final form is 1.6% body fat when thats never even been recorded in human history. What a joke.

for real@@ryants1

That may not have been your intention, but it's really an unavoidable part of the topic. The truth about body fat measurement is that there is no precise way to measure it. They can come up with increasingly more creative ways to come up with a relative approximation of a body fat percentage. But there is no legitimately accurate way to measure it, period. And it's also just plain stupid to think that number is even remotely close to being accurate. Your body requires fat to maintain proper health and performance. There is no way possible anybody could be that low in body fat and not have a whole host of health issues, let alone be able to perform like an elite level pro athlete.

He'll be 7% at the lowest in my opinion. You can looked ripped af at that percentage

@@thecelticmagician8421 6 or 7% is pretty fucking shredded. No natural guy is walking around like that all year while still gaining mass.

While I understand the logic, I have to disagree. I'm at 11.6%, and while I'm very lean, DK is Shredded even compared to me. As a former trainer, my guess is that he's nornally in the 5% range.

Nice try. Hes lower above 11. But he sure as fuck ain't 1.6.

@@dubhoven1 I doubt hes that low, but these dudes are genuinely freaks so I think we can all agree hes learn as fuck. At that size I'd peg him around 7% simply because I can't see if his squads or glutes have visible striations. That would be a giveaway for a 5% prediction. If he doesn't have that, hes like 7 or 8 but simply stores more fat in the lower body which is common.

Not sure

No you're not hearing that

No.

have u seen Metcalff in a speedo? regardless ppl dont all look the same, ur 10% body fat body will look diff than mine, and so on

People will look different at the same body fat but nobody at a true 1.6% body fat will look like somebody at 10% BF

Body builders also have a lot more muscle

Dude everyone is gonna look different it’s all based on the person. And btw did yu watch the nfl combine this dude is a freakin bat man suit, literally looks like he was made out of a lab

Noe Hernandez Charles White was about 2-3 at USC

@@brucedufelmeier8718 5% is essential for the body and can only be achieved through extreme starvation and steriods.

Tired of Being Average I don’t disagree. There are physiological abnormalities within the human family. The 2-3% was cited in a Sports Illustrated article on Heisman Trophy winner Charles White at USC. They included that info in the article because it was so abnormal. That was in the early 80’s and body fat was becoming a popular subject in the world of fitness and gym culture. They mentioned in the article the trainers at USC had never heard of anyone testing below 7% and that world class marathon runners are around 10%. It was the first info I had ever read about body fat. There are always exceptions.

Noe Hernandez i had 4% at 190 lbs

Tired of Being Average I just googled SI articles on Charles White’s body fat at USC and a 1997 article popped up talking about his recovery from Cocaine addiction and returning to USC. He won the Heisman in 1979. For some reason they mentioned his body fat and stated it was as low as 1.9%. The article by L Jon Wertheim was from 11/3/97. Sports Illustrated.

Funny as fuck when mutha fuckas think they know more than a doctor 😂💀. Just stfu bruh lol

You don't even need to know bodybuilding. You just need to know basic human health.

@Adrien Perez The typical "he's a (insert profession here) so he can't be wrong" defense. Can't tell you how many times I cringe when somebody says this. As if doctors are incapable of having their own biases, can never be wrong, have missed out on certain points. As if there aren't crazies in the industry from Dr.Oz who literally got called out by the senate for misleading and lying to people, Dr. Jason Fung who pretty much denies what has already been established as pretty much fact. Not implying the Dr is one of those guys in the industry, he is right about the effects of having a dangerously low body fat. However what was quoted was one SINGLE study that showed on AVERAGE it was 2% off from other methods like DEXA. This does NOT mean it couldn't be off by more than that. In fact that same study showed that the Bod Pod could be off by as much as 6%. Other studies show that hair, temperature, moisture significantly affects readings on the Bod Pod by as much as 2-3% on AVERAGE. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15059287 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11346675 The study contained in this article which compares DEXA and the Bod Pod also notes that differences were measured as high as 13% BF! Also of note is that the Bod Pod tends to be way less accurate in very lean individuals, such as DK Metcalf. examine.com/nutrition/an-accuracy-thing-measuring-body-fat-percentage/ Bod Pod is also terrible at tracking changes over time. A friend of mine did the Bod Pod 3 times in 3 months. Gained a few lbs and somehow he went from 14%, 14% to 8% BF. I did Bod Pod and DEXA and I got measured as 12% and 16% respectively (the DEXA was probably more accurate IMO). DEXA scans use a 4 compartment model as opposed to a 2 compartment model which the Bod Pod is. Well known in the nutrition/fitness industry as a top researcher in this area, this is James Krieger's conclusion of Bod Pods. He has a masters in Exercise Science and Nutrition, and coaches clients on weight loss management as well. An actual researcher rather than a general MD. weightology.net/the-pitfalls-of-body-fat-measurement-part-3-bod-pod/ If a doctor told you to jump off a cliff because it is better for your health would you do it? You're one of those guys that just blindly follows what anybody says without question because they are a so called professional and incapable of researching a topic, using logic and coming up with your own independent thoughts. Stfu if you have nothing to contribute lmao. I only speak facts here while you just troll and blindly follow whatever anybody has to say.

Yes I trust you over a doctor lmfao

Smol Keeper not saying to trust me lol im a random guy on the internet

He’s not even as shredded as bodybuilders who are all in the 5%

TheSunKing No, I would never take you over a doctor. Doctors are the gold standard for physical fitness. Don't act like you know shit.

TheSunKing it’s also likely that he would be dead lol or close to it

Gerald Green nah I was 5.8 at one point. A friend of mine is 5.3.

I’m 5.1 because of my metabolism

Nah neither of you are. People r completely wrong about their body fat. Contest prep bodybuilders who literally diet down as low as they can to show out as much muscle as they possibly can and they’re at like 4-5 and they are completely unhealthy and that’s the lowest they’re gonna get: Gerald is right. The guy is no lower than 7

Ive been trying to tell peoppe this since it came out

Like MOST people will actually feel awful under 10%. Some people can deal with being under 10% for a while lol. Also almost all body fat measurements are very flawed so i dobt believe either of you are 5% based on all that information.

Not true

Erik Frantzen doesnt make sense

@@mikeb769 it is kinda true...men need around 3% bodyfat for the organs to work properly

Mike B it is true you need fat cells for body function you cromagnon

@@MartyNguyen611 it would be interesting to know hot much all the glykolipids that make up your cell membranes amount to in terms of total mass. whatever that is youd have to susbtract as well, which makes a total BF number like that even less realistic, cause youre gonna have fat as a component of all of your cells, even without having any specific "fat cells".

There are pictures, he looks extremely buff, but I'd say like 5-6%

Muscles weigh a lot which is why he weighs that much, but I still don’t believe the body fat percentage

Steven Koja muscle and fat weight the same...but there is no way he can be that low of body fat and still maintain that much muscle mass...pro bodybuilders who are using drugs to get lean are probably 3-4% at the absolute lowest on stage at about 230 ...there’s no way this guy is leaner than them and weighing the same as them and playing a sport as physical as football ...it’s impossible

Yea I agree it doesn't really seem possible but still my point is even if he were 3-5% it might not be best for him long term

RuthlessFitness TECHNICALLY, muscle and fat weight the same. 1 pound of fat is the same as 1 pound of muscle. (Obviously). But fat takes up more space, since it is “fluffy”. A pound of muscle is smaller than a pound of fat. This means if you filled up the same area with fat, then with muscle. The muscle would weigh more.

Maybe was 7.6

He is actually crazy shredded him and one other player at Ole Miss. They took a picture together and it is going viral due to how unnaturally big these two players are he is actually absolutely huge

StaticzNova aj brown

What??? The guy is the most shredded football player ive ever seen. However, yeah the body fat measurement is either a) a measurement mistake or b) a lie told by sports media

@@CrashinAsh ya huge, but not shredded

Mark Croghan maybe he just got that low for the testing. He probably didn’t stay that low for long

You put 2010 in the description instead of 2019 btw

I don't doubt the Bod Pod. I doubt the human beings recording and reporting the data. I have a strong feeling a decimal place was missed. Just looking at his recent pics, he looks like he has 11.6% body fat. Which would be in line with what he actually looks like visually. Someone messed up when they recorded his data, and another person didn't bother to think critically and question the data. I don't even think it's actually possible to be less than 2-3% and still be alive. Correct me if I'm wrong, you need that much just to be able to make the different components of your cells. Your body's cells are partly made of lipids. At 1.6% body fat, I'm not sure your body would even be able to undergo enough cell division to completely replace it's cells, let alone create energy stores. This reeks of human error, not machine error.

I thought most recently the DEXA scan was the gold standard for body composition

@@jogabonitadefutbol It's the NFL combine... they do this over 400 times every year... Professionally... They did not make a decimal mistake...

@@jogabonitadefutbol plus Metcalf corrected the report and said his # was 1.9%... Which means adding the ~2% difference he could be around 3.9%...

Yeah because his body fat is not under 2% 😂😂😂

That’s because he’s not actually 1.6% body fat

Joseph he’s not at 1.6% bodyfat

...meaning he wasnt actually at 1.6% body fat dumbass

'Stamina' is not a scientific term. If he hit you in the face 27 times in 30 seconds and had to rest one hour in order to do it again, he would be exhibiting more stamina in one way and less in another way.

Thanks!

That’s what I’m saying. I’ve seen people who are way more ripped at 4%. At 1% you’d literally be able to see every single muscle fiber which isn’t the case.

eb I’d venture to say 8%

Chicagoempire 91 thats what im saying and +Elijah probally yeah but i just think its weird a scanner would be 7%off , thats such a huge difference like 8% to 15%😂

I wouldn’t say it’s totally inaccurate, he did say he only dropped that low for the combine, his normal is definitely not that low,

Not really, you can get abs at 10% body fat range sometimes even higher. That is sustainable and healthy, given exercise and a balanced diet.

Its impossible to have a 1,6 % body fat. You would be dead.

Dehydration reduces water, not fat

Kickboxfanatiker fat cant work without water 💀🤦🏻‍♂️ If you are dehydrated, the currents in your body will pass through at a slower rate and show an inflated body fat percentage.

Dehydration increases density, which seems like it could throw the test off.

@@ClaytonCausey but muscles are mainly water as well

True, but the bodpod bases its calculations on density. Dehydrated muscle is denser. Dehydrated fat is denser. So, I’m wondering if it could throw off the calculation if he is severely dehydrated.

People who put these numbers together should definitely clarify whether it’s burnable or total. Then you have people with 20% burnable fat think that by some miracle they have the same body fat as nfl wide receivers and can go ahead and have another slice of pizza or piece of cake.
