Sorry doc, but I'm gonna trust Doctor Ronnie on this one with his Ph. D in bicepology
Funny !!!!
Yea.... sorry man the King’s got it on this one
Yeah Ronnie ain't normal
He even has more experience with surgeries than Dr Brian
YEAH BUDDY!!!
He was serious he wasn't bluffing, he was just wrong.
He's a legend anyway
Yeah but his bluff was called
Maybe he is referring to storage fat
@@jackl8349 whatever that means
no bluff. he was speaking facts.
@Fuck Google he was prescribed test through a doctor...
Sutterer: "He meant 3.3% right?!"
Coleman: "...That's less than half a percent!"
LMAO
I hope he meant 3.3% and then made a joke of less than half a percent.
Body By PT he said it was different tests said different things for him
Either Ronnie is lying, misinformed, or he is actually an alien. I'm going with alien.
He Said that the ones who tested him said that results were0,33%
Yeah Buddy
Lightweight
most bf% tests are way off
Definitely has alien genes! Coleman has absolute freaky genetics🧬
Low key love the use of the phrase “not compatible with life”. Such a measured way for a doctor to say “hey that number’s really fucking whack”
Lmao
He needed to be careful about what he said about Ronnie or he would be banned from every gym in the country!
That's a very specific phrase though - among other things, it's grounds to not attempt resuscitation. Same phrase they'd use to describe a catastrophic physical injury like outright decapitation.
Don’t worry, we will get Coach Greg laser vision to determine the exact levels he had back in the days.
Lol you know it. Dexa scan for eyeballs
Hahahahahahah nice one mate
Insane 😂🤣
ZEEERRROOO % chance he was .33%!!
@@amessina6691 😂😂😂
"Not compatible with life"
That's on the list of top sayings
When he said that I just laughed. Insane
Yeah but Flex Wheeler said that he was 0% BF I dont know but these guys are super insane freaks with freaky genetics
Both guys are referring to the machines/methods used calculated. 80s 90s didn't have good body scan tech, they both mention this.
Ronnie coleman has probably 4%
It’s just like when professional football players claim 4%. It’s absurd but there really are people out there who believe them.
Jack Gralla it’s really funny honestly when in reality they range from 8% at the lowest to 25%
He used a calipers measurement. It’s only skin body fat.
I was boutta say. Why would he be talking about essential fats? Those aren't supposed to change. Lmao
He actually did a water based measurement if you watched the interview.
Subcutaneous fat yeah
I don't think either test considers essential body fat within the body. I think pretty much everyone is just talking about under the skin body fat, only the doctor is talking about essential interior fat. When talking my about body fat level pretty much everyone is talking about under the skin, the doctor is coming from a completely different place and doesn't get it. He thinks he's so smart with his technicality.
@@ckobo84 the doctor is talking about what Ronnie claimed was "body fat percentage" which is what it is, the percentage of fat in your body.
Ronnie just made a simple mistake and said body fat instead of subcutaneous body fat percentage.
Greg would spit all over my screen if he hears this interview..''there is a AZEEEERROO CHANCE HE'S 0.33''
Have fun watching his video about it
In bodybuilding, I believe he was referring to surface body-fat. Bodybuilders drop to very low body fat and they even dry out to have that shredded appearance look.
I was curious if this was what he was referencing.
On competition day he was .33% it’s also why bodybuilders die on the stage sometimes
No.
Doesn’t matter if it’s surface body fat, 0.33 percent is such a dangerously low body fat it doesn’t matter
@@drozone3658 nonsense,it was never measured that low and you cannot measure it accurately anyway without DEXA or mri.
When you measure by caliper, like the method that Ronnie mentioned for the 0.33%, it is subcutaneous so his essential fat + the 0.33% makes sense
Adonis King This makes a lot of sense
I think he states that the machine can’t distinguish between the 2
@@smoker4188 you can't get to essential fat with calipers. The fat on the 'outside' of your body right under the skin which is the fat measured by calipers is the subcutaneous fat
Yeah, this video seems to be biased just to get views. Meanwhile it's impossible to have that amount of body fat in your whole body, that's not what it means for bodybuilders.
For bodybuilders, body fat means subcutaneous fat. Just that.
pabrodi ... the video isn’t being biased it’s just giving information. Maybe he isn’t aware about how bodybuilders use the term body fat?
Love the channel! Starting med school this fall so I’m excited to be able to understand the terminology even more and excited to see your channel grow.
Ronnie Coleman looking like that skeleton in the back
Dog lmaooo
Not far off.
A 240lb skeleton?... Smh. Yea, Ok.
You really dont know how % work
That's why the skeleton has the number 33
So glad you covered this! I really appreciate the breadth of sports topics that you keep up with and educate us on.
I actually met Ronnie Coleman about 12-13 years ago. When he put his arm on my shoulder to take a picture, my whole body sunk down just from the weight of it. Super nice guy, but he was an absolute monster back in the day.
The second I watched is interview I couldn't wait for your evaluation.
Also I came straight to here.
Damn, the Doc is on it. Quickest video upload I've seen in awhile.
Fr😂... this man be in his shirt and tie just waiting
Don't mistake Ronnie for a fool. He's talked about this before. He got his body fat tested using skin fold calipers. At 5'10 and 290lbs on stage, calipers absolutely would have said 0.33%. Hydrostatic weighing was not widely available 15 years ago.
@Hilbert França ikr looks way taller than any other bodybuilder
He literally said it was a hydrostatic test. Not skin fold caliper
I'm surprised you didn't include in this video the words : "the method they used, is a Hydrostatic pool, which has a margin of error of about 3%. All methods have a margin of error, with A Dexa scan being the most accurate, having a 1% to 2% or so margin of error. So a result of 0.3 is definitely a case of falling within this margin of error. "
How do they know which method is most accurate?
MRI is by far the most accurate. It gives a 99.8% accurate estimation.
Thanks for the bodybuilding content
I Am pleased with the growth of your channel!
dude your channel blew up. I knew it would once I seen 1 of your vids. thanks man
When Ronnie said some of his percents came out negative I died 💀
Love this channel man
thanks! That was stuff I have always wondered about.
Hahahaha love the Flint Tropics jersey in the back Brian! LETS GET TROPICAL!
“Yeah Monix, we don’t even GOT corn dogs”
Favorite sports movie
Brian Sutterer MD great call. The world could use a bit of ELE right now.
You jive turkey
"Maybe your ma didn't go to heaven"
Was just wondering about that statement like 30 minutes ago. You’re really on top of all this shit
Wouldn't the renal capsules alone account for more than that? His kidneys would be drooping below his bladder. 🤣
kajestro m. You gotta realise Ronnie didn’t turn pro until he was 28 years old, and then he won 8 Mr Olympia consecutively. Someone like Brad Pitt couldn’t keep up with that. No one could that’s why he was on top for so long, no one could touch him
And I thought DK Metcalf was bad
Amazing flint tropics Jersey. Legendary :p :) much love great video brotha
Loved the flint tropics jersey in the background
A big fan of this channel ,
I’d love it if you made video about boxer fracture and how many boxers or mma fighter who developed it , and if it’s possible to keep on fighting post fracture .
Another request if it’s possible to do a video about Justin gaethje’s refractive error and how it was effecting his range in fight , I heard about it in an interview and I want to know more about .
A huge fan of this channel keep it up .
Super quick turn around for this review!!
"...based on autopsy..." tells me all I need to know about that bodybuilders' health.... °_°
What does it tell you exactly about his health? I would like to know because all I’m getting is a bodybuilder died and they did a autopsy on him. Nothing about his health in that what so ever he could of died from being hit by a car then an autopsy would be done to find out what damage was/wasn’t done and specifically how he died. Just because an autopsy is done doesn’t mean you died from health issues.
Sure you can go find out why it was done and he might of been very unhealthy but from the info given in this video you can’t know anything about the bodybuilders health.
@@pnutimusthe1st bro wtf wrong with you
@@hamable1995 a lot why do you ask?
My brother got measured a few decades ago, back when he was a competitive rower. He was measured at 1% upper body fat and 6% overall, and lemme tell you he was pretty damn ripped. The people doing the measurements commented that any non-athlete with those numbers would be in hospital, so yeah.
Anything under about 5-6% bodyfat is already pretty extreme.
Anything under 5 is extreme. 5-8 normal ripped athlete. I've been to 7 percent as a wrestler.
I think their calibration methods only take into account subcutaneous fat around a couple points on the body, so they maintain enough fat to survive when all unmeasured adipose tissue is considered. Better calibration methods may have not been available to him in 2005.
0:08 I love your reaction Doc! lmao
That was a lightspeed response vid haha, I was like whaaaat?!
Awesome video brian
good video, you are awesome.
Love how appropriate the 33 Flint tropics jersey at the back is for this video.
Ronnie Coleman literally looked impossible, sounds like him
No it’s actually physically impossible. Regardless of how good he looks. The brain and internal organs contain essential fat.
David Larios 😐
@@amorecredibleusername692 he's talking about subcutaneous fat when he says .33
Hi! Please do a reaction video of FC Barcelona's player Dembele! He's had multiple muscle tear injuries, mainly on his hamstring! It's so curious to me as to why it happens so frequently to him in an elite club.
I was thinking of your channel when he mentioned that 😂
"That's not compatible with life" - Gonna be ma new phrase.
I just watched the podcast clip and had the same reaction
Ronnie always stuck me as a great practitioner of his profession rather than a great scholar of his profession. In other words he has a very good handle on what works, but if you were to ask him to explain WHY it works I don't think you'd get a scientifically accurate answer. I play guitar very well, but I know next to nothing about music theory.
Do a video on Justyn Ross and his issue and procedure he had and How his recovery should go. He's one of the best college wide receivers in the country. He plays for Clemson.
Thank you I was wondering about that haha
During that interaction Ronnie explains how he was measured at different times. He said he usually used calipers, but with that particular measurement, .33%, it was underwater. I wonder if increased bone density could have caused an error with that testing method.
He also said the reading was -2% so who the heck knows. He was all over the place and that part was just too absurd also
I’d like to take a small percentage of credit for him changing the background to his videos. I mentioned it along time ago in his comments he responded asking what he should change it to I suggested having doctor related stuff in the back ground how Philip DeFranco had stuff relating to him in the background.
You should react to tj dillashaw when he dropped to 125, Jose aldo when he dropped to 135, and Edson Barboza when he dropped down to 145. You should show their walk around weight then them at their original weight classes(TJ at 35,Aldo at 45, and Barboza at 55) then explain the dangers of cutting that much weight.
Thank god for this video... I watched that and thought the same exact thing... and Joe Rogan didnt even quiz him on that
He said later on in the interview that he had a negative bodyfat figure.
Man, you look like an awesome guy and i love your videos :)
Thanks!
Watched that podcast at 4 am in the morning .... and I thought I was trippin !
Doc is right, most methods for measuring body fat are off by at least 3%, and if Ronnie was using something like calipers it was probably just measuring storage fat not essential fat, which has to be at least 2-4% just to survive.
He also said that Squat was easier than deadlift because, "Squat is way up on your back, where there's not as much gravity".
Gravity is strongest at the center of mass...technically hes right lol?
I'll trust ronnie when it comes to the physics of lifting weight. Newton new nothing lol
I want to get some negative fats lol
Do you have anything to comment on his back injuries?
Please analyse the case of Marian Hossas career ending injury.
This man should have millions of subs
Jackie Moon Jersey is classic!
I heard somewhere that Ronnie colemans walking around body fat percentage was closer to 10% and his competition body percentage was closer to 5%. I think I heard it on moreplatesmoredates or Greg douccette on youtube.
He said just a few seconds later that he even got a negative result once. He knows that the measurements are within a margin of error.
I want that Jackie moon jersey lol
Since he used the caliper method, that was the number he came up with. Although he, as a layman, was obviously unaware of essential fat, the number he came up with was most probably an accurate measurement of his subcutaneous fat.
I know some of the guys at my gym will get down to crazy low body fat, but it’s for a day maybe 2 days but as soon as the competition was over they would go back up up to 5% but yeah for a day a few hour at 2/1% I can see it.
Brian sounds like he's rapping at first with that beat 🤣
Fax
This is like the most extreme and intellectual version of being the grammar police I’ve ever seen 😂😂
Yeah when I was listening to that I just assumed he got confused in his old age. Misplaced the decimal or something.
Is this number being generated by the little machine they use on the fatty area on your stomach?
You should cover Eric Garcia's injury
nice genre switch up!!
I suppose it depends highly on the type of equipment/test utilised as well. It might be a result of miscalculations after all the math of the skin-fold test Hahahaha. Based on what I've seen in the NBA draft combine over the years, 3-5% seems to be the norm for the leanest guys in the draft. Former dunk champion Terrance Ross posted 3.2% in the 2012 combine.
Body builders have been known to Drop to around 1% and in a few cases even below 1% for short periods of times due to competitions. Now for Ronnie Coleman no reports ever officially say he reached below 1% but there are a few reports saying he was at 1%. The judges think he only stayed around that body fat percentage for maybe a day at most
They do nothing of the sort because you cannot measure that accurately
they can and do. they have body scans done to measure accurately
@@drollercandy not when ronnie was competinig they didnt,it would have been callipers or bioelectric, ,both notoriously inaccurate.
Is that Ronnie in the back with .33% body fat? Haha I like the detail
I jus got done listening to this episode like 5 mins ago this is funny
I would guess they used calipers back in the early 2000’s when we has competing and found that he has .33% storage body fat under the skin, meaning he was probably around 2.5 to 3% total body fat, just non on the surface of his body
Imagine: reading the cause of death for someone, COD: “lack of fat” 😳😂😂😂
Can you react to Micheal Schumachers new stem cell surgery plz?
Is it possible to increase your lean mass so much that your relative fat % could be less than 1%? Example Olympic marathon runners are around 3-5% with an average weight of 150 pounds. If they packed on 150 pounds of additional muscles without increasing fat stores could they drop to around 1.5%?
Your the man doc
tbf there are like 20 different ways to measure body fat and depending on the method the same person can a body fat percentage ranging from 5% to 17%. so him saying he had a body fat percentage of 0.33% can't really be taken literally.
Y’all notice the no33 Jersey on the back?
3rd... Love the info
Ronnie mentioned something about the machine he was using acknowledging that it may have been off. That part gets missed for some reason.
Ronnie was definitely talking about about surface fat, that is the fat that would have mattered to him as a body builder. They probably didn't have all the tools to measure body fat back in the days, so I would I assume they used something like clippers which can't measure anything else but the fat right under the skin.
Doc, it didn't surprise you when he said that his body fat percentages was in the NEGATIVES? Lol thanks Doc!
He was so all over the place
@@SammyJoeLouis wtf
Depending on the method used to measure body fat 0.33 could easily be within the margin of error as some methods are 4 to 6 %off so he probably isn't lying just saying the results of the test the problem is alot of tests are gross estimates
Maybe he used the old way of measuring fat and because he had such abnormal amount of muscle it distorted the measurement because it really was an abnormal amount of muscle on his frame.
We went over this with DK Metcalf already, but this is a lot more in depth.
I think the whole thing could just bei an error in messuring his body fat. Coleman competet in the late ninetyes into the early two thousands, messuring methods expecially for essential body fat wich is way harder to detect, where not nearly as advanced as now.
Okay but how does essential fat scale with body size for example if I am 10% body fat 150 lbs right controlling all variables if I maintain my level of fat perfectly but gain 50 lbs of lean muscle mass that would drop my total body fat down even though I haven’t lost or gained any so where I am wanting more research on is how does our essential fats scale with size in Ronnie Coleman’s example right say you need 3% to live with essential fats at 180 lbs for the average man do the essential fats scale up so obviously being super lean no storage fats at 180lbs would be insane but Ronnie Coleman competed at 300lbs + the same 5.4 lbs or 3% would they need to scale up the more muscle he puts on so at 5.4lbs of essential fats would it then be
Brian Sutterer MD, resident physician of youtube universe.
Love the semi pros jersey
What is the lowest healthy body fat achievable and sustainable
@Brian Stutterer MD Ronnie did Hydrostatic Weighing(hydrodensitometry), and this kind of weighing is not suitable for a Human with that level of muscularity and size. The results were 'Wrong' and no one corrected him ever since then haha.
Great Video!
idk but percent is always a relative number and when you way about 295lbs isn't it kinda plausable i feel like many people over see this but if you grow in muscle mass that does not mean your essentials need more fat maybe a bit more but idk just a guess tho
I got to admit I absolutely love Ronnie it’s the reason I started lifting but he is way way Way off on some things he says on stats. He is honest with his weight 325-335 in offseason and 280-298 on stage but 0.33 BF any person of intelligence is absolutely and completely impossible. Even 3.3% walking around on daily basis is impossible. That was around his competing BF he only had to Maintain for short time for stage. On stage he was probably 3-7% BF competing and 12-20% BF in offseason.
Exactly correct!
People like Ronnie are just crazy even in the world if bodybuilding. He is a freak of nature.
