I know a guy whenhe was in his twenties, he appeared to be nothing but muscle. He went to get his body fat measured & it was over 17%. also, does anyone remember the aussie swimmer from the fifties who had a really high body fat count. I know I've seen pictures of him doing things like backbends and other yoga manuveures.
