Thibs said there's still a lot of room for improvement. Can't impress the coach!

You are talking about Rose the waitress down at the Waffle House, right?

How so? You're acting like 12% is fat. 12% is still abs and veins popping out. Now 8.5% at 210 pounds seems really hard to maintain throughout the course of the season, don't you think? Especially for a guy, who is known to have a massive sweet tooth

You have to take into account that the guys in the picture up to 25% are clearly lifting weights and the three guys up to 12% are lifting heavily.

Nik Stauskas was measured at 12% bf, but he definitely doesn't look like Mr. 12%, because he's not lifting weights like Mr. 12% is.

Derrick's not going to look like Mr. 3-4%, because he's not lifting weights like a bodybuilder does, but he's 4.5% nevertheless. A malnourished Ethiopian at 2% body fat is not going to look like Mr. 3-4%.

Rose is 210 lbs, he clearly has to be lifting or doing some type of activity to keep that physique. Also Stauskas is probably not even really 12% either. Also you're providing extreme examples with the Ethiopian, of course they aren't going to look like that, they would be pencil thin instead.

He's a pretty terrible comparison to use in your favor... the dude is lean. Are we to believe that Rose is 4.5% if that's 12%? Muscle mass needs fat to produce hormones... hell, normal bodily function requires the production of hormones. This is not only an issue of if he can get 4.5%... it's an issue of basic health and functionality.

^^^that is 4% body fat

NBA guards are usually 7-9%

That's disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

Blue Team

C Anthony Davis, Plumlee
PF George, Faried
SF Hayward, Derozen
SG Curry, Korver
PG Rose, Wall

White Team

C Cousins, Drummand
PF KD, millsap
SF Harden, parsons
SG Klay, Beal
PG Lillard, kyrie

Assuming the teams play small, the white team seems superior to me.

bearadonisdna · Post #1035 » by **bearadonisdna** » Fri Aug 1, 2014 1:53 am

PG as a power forward? Thats a joke. Tryn 2 make him carmelo anthony? Neways i guess coach k is a good coach but if he progresses PG id be pissed.

Who thought it was a good idea to put 2 of the best 3pt shooters in the NBA on the same team ?

4.5%?

No he isn't. No one in the league is. No one in life is. Well, not very long anyway.

Agree. Should be somewhere around 6-8% bodyfat.

Anyway Australia is awesome. Went there for 3 weeks. Favourite country.
