I was curious too. I actually tried to create the spreadsheet but something wasn't coming out right. I came up with 100 lbs for me. I also tried to figure out which variable to change to hit a higher BF%, but couldn't come up with one. I was thinking there might be something to double to get it to hit 16%, but no luck.

As far as weight goes, the 168 is in perfect alignment for me. I weighed 172 in high school, was in pretty good shape, but definitely not at 8% BF. I don't know about the other sizes, though.

diemde, well if we take 168lbs at 8% bf, we get 13 lbs of fat, so to get 16% bf just add another 13 lbs, so 181 lbs. Though the measurements would most likely be different. I am assuming the same amount of lean mass in this case.

Wow - I'm sure looking forward to those 16 inch guns. Think I'll have to invest heavily in plastics for the chestal regions, though...



Thanks bud. That was amusing!

"C = 1.03125(69 - 60) = 1.319" from website.
I cannot figure out how they get 1.319??
69-60=9
1.03125 x 9 = 9.28125
1.03125 x 69 = 71.15625 - 60= 11.5625
Help

Also, for those doing the calculations on their own. The formula for C is C = 1.03125^(Height - 60) so that's 1.03125 to the power of (Height - 60).

I don't know why this tickled me so much, but I got a big hearty belly laugh out of it. Thanks!

Interesting thread.
