Wow fk my life. Been training for 4 years and my ffmi is like someone who is untrained at all. Could my age be why,im 18. Or are my genetics that shit(ive been consistently eating protein and enough cals tracking them,even if my training is shit i shouldve had a higher ffmi).
It’s definitely your age. “Training for 4 years” is inconsequential when you start at 14 and are still going through puberty.
Also, how did you go about determining your bodyfat to get your FFMI? Lots of flawed methods out there.

Fat caliper + looking at a lot of pictures of ppl who have been measured with dexas and stuff. Im around 13-14% now,if u wanna see my pics i can post em.
This is a terrible method that is, unfortunately, very popular. People are going to look very different at different bodyfat %s depending on their structure, amount of muscle they carry, where they hold fat, etc.
Me looking at your photos won’t help, because I don’t have laser calibrated eyeballs that can determine how much visceral fat you have. I can’t see between your organs.
FFMI is just another silly number. You can tell how big you are without it. You’re 18: you have LOTS of time and room to grow.

How tall are you? I’ve just put in your Lean Mass and Fat Mass at my height (5’ 10) and got 20.9 FFMI. Going by your numbers you must be 6’2 for that FFMI, yes?
In which case the average untrained male’s FFMI is higher because the average (untrained) male is significantly shorter…
Ye im 6’2. Ohh okay that makes sense. Didnt think of it.
Do you think your physique looks like someone who is untrained?
This is the problem with stressing out over formulas on paper vs paying attention to real world results.

Don’t get me started on the article about your hand being the size of your face meaning you’re a spaz.
