How good or bad is 35% body fat?

35% is ****

You arent 35%.....more like 20-24%(VERY rough estimate)


Id say most d1a Olineman you see are bit higher than 15-20% more like 17.5-25%....dlineman vary a ton baseed on system and position. I mean Vernon Gholston is a LINEMAN....compare him to some of the LINEMAN on his own team like Rehring/Cordle(the center/guard on OSU) its not too comparable.

Id say 20% is a decent guideline for interior lineman and maybe 17% for tackles and 14-16% for DEs.

Of course this is very rough stuff many DEs will just naturally be leaner.....im talking rough rough estimates of where folks should be.

I am certain I will never trust a scale again for body fat %. I have been doing some research and I most certainly don't have 35% body fat I am more like 20% or something. Because I got more muscle than anybody on the team except about 5 ppl. I bench 315 and squat 405 and that is the highest bench on the team. I will just have keep on guessing what my body fat is I guess.
