Oh, but he wasn’t even talking about NOW. He was talking about “at one time”. And he was “doubtfully” more than 25%. Since he’s not there anymore, no way to disprove that claim. Convenient,eh?
He did say doubtfully, so I guess it’s true.

I didn’t say “more impressive”.

Yeah, you did.
The fact he lifts regularly is subject to doubt on my part.
I suspect he simply wills his muscles to get huge.
Since he might not yet be a blackbelt ninja, he also wills his fat to grow(small side effect).
But a real blackbelt . . .

Which means you looked similar to someone like this, right?
Or this guy.
Professor X, what are your opinions on this BF baseline chart? Obviously everyone stores fat differently but would you say that this is a good general baseline to go off of? Is it way off? Or is there no scientific way to be 100% accurate so you cannot have an opinion? Thanks.

I don’t get how he adamantly uses himself as the prime example of superb LBM gains when he never actually does anything to accurately calculate his LBM gains.
Is he trying to convince the world with a vague n=1 example?

It’s JL Holdsworth. If I recall correctly, from an interview he did a few months ago on EFS, he is still competing (could be wrong) and working as a strength and conditioning coach and is 285 with 18% bodyfat (again, if I recall correctly).
I have no idea what JM is doing now. It seems he just disappeared from powerlifting.
aha! dang it, JL holdsworth. how i got those two confused?

if i used this chart as a guide, i think i am around the 15% mark. no?

You would need to do that little side bend beach pose in order for me to accurately asses. Please respond.
ill pm it to you…
I’m standing by with my inspector gadget go go gadget visual body fat calipers at the ready

I think a lot of people have hit upon this in recent threads. It difficult to take someone seriously who constantly professes his thorough scientific background, yet continually sidesteps any reliable means of verifying claims. This has no doubt been realized my a number of the more intelligent folks on here, hence the ‘X meets with reluctance to his posts’ trend.
Perhaps a good method of scientific proof is simply making the same repeated claims on an internet site for years until everyone just assumes it’s true. X has repeatedly expressed concern that if Brick makes a skewed statement about his bf% enough times that people may begin to believe it. (Hello Cauldron, this is Kettle…)
I wonder how you would cite such evidence in a publication.
