What happens to you that is centered on the scale, is a parameter much easier than calculating BMI and such, is that you make a very simple calculation , if you take a person of six feet and you cut the one and that eighty is left . So, from this to less it is usually the ideal weight, from seventy-five to eighty kilos, we are talking about a good weight for a person of one and eighty. When you take a person, now a female with 1.
60 for example, you cut one and sixty left, usually twice as much as the man. That is, a meter and sixty, cut one, sixty, ten left, from fifty to fifty-five kilos is a good weight for that person to weigh. But why is there this thing that varies, Leandrão?
Because you are going to have something called DMO (bone mineral density), there are people who really are not an excuse for fat people, they have heavy bones. That's why you see some people who have the same weight and height, and the same percentage of fat and seem to us to be much larger than others, because the person's bone is very light and that on the scale implies less. That is, more muscle mass.
That is, he has more muscle mass than the other even though he weighs the same thing. And then people can say: Okay, how tall are you, Leandro? I am five feet, seventy nine, thirty years old.
Yes, you will laugh now, because you thought I had more, you little bastard, but I’m shot here making video every day. So, click on like and subscribe to the channel. But I am ninety-two kilos now, I am not an example of thinness, but I am not that bad either, people, we are not going to go too far.
Biceps skin being thin is almost a must, but that's okay. So, are you out of your weight? That's where it is personal, that's why the BMI (body mass index) fell to the ground.
Today we no longer talk about it, today we will think much more about body composition. For those who want to know my fat percentage, it's about twelve percent. It is a percentage that I feel very well, I keep comfortably, really laughing, eating basically everything I like, having energy to live and so on.
So if I take a person who is six feet tall, sixty-two pounds and thirty percent body fat . Can you give me an example of that person? Me.
But didn't you say you are twelve? No, but it was me before. I already had forty percent body fat .
When I was nipping at ninety pounds I was arriving with thirty percent fat. If I went by weight and took the two shapes here you would see that in one I was . .
. Surely the person will say: No, it needs to improve. And the other one also needs to improve, but a little less, it is already a little better.
Twelve percent is more acceptable, it ’s cooler. And both are the same weight. The BMI served very well, more or less speaking there until the beginning of the 2000s.
In the nineties, the gym aiming at muscular hypertrophy took a very large proportion , and people started to increase more and more the amount of muscle mass unnecessarily . That is, there was no reason for that, he was not an athlete, he did not need to lift a truck or anything, but they wanted to increase the amount of muscle mass, because they feel better that way. And since then, we will put a milestone, from the 2000s onwards, we started to ignore the BMI.
Even the most deeply rooted academics looked and said: It doesn't fit anymore. BMI can be for your father, your mother, your grandmother and your grandfather who have never done weight training and such. But this muscular joviality that is coming there no longer serves.
BMI is not for me, I'm sure it is not for many people there. So, this parameter that I gave here of ideal weight fell apart. Today what we understand best is: What is the ideal weight?
It is a weight that stays within a healthy fat percentage . So, for example, a meter and eighty, a meter and seventy, a meter and sixty, whatever, men have to be twelve to eighteen percent fat by the World Health Organization (WHO). Whether he will weigh seventy, eighty, a hundred, speaking of weight in relation to height does not matter, if he is twelve to eighteen beautiful.
And of course, with health monitoring. Above eighteen, it starts to have a rate change, normally. You can also be under twelve, but today, with a lot of technology, we are able to support ourselves with eight, seven percent and dignity of life.
For example, we know that below twelve percent you start to have a lower testosterone expectation . The leaner you are the less testosterone you tend to have. So three percent fat, testosterone is probably much lower than twelve.
Only today you can keep eight percent using a multivitamin, Tribulus, stretcher, manipulated that will hold on to it and give you some dignity. So, as I said, by WHO from twelve to eighteen, but we manage to conserve with less and with a good dignity of life. But we are going to stay at the WHO so as not to go so far, not to complicate so much, twelve to eighteen.
Women, about eighteen to twenty-four percent, because under eighteen sometimes they stop menstruating, it's not cool. Ok Leandro, but let's put twelve to eighteen, eighteen to twenty-four, we have twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, which one am I going to choose? What we have the best of today is what you identify with best, and those rates match.
Usually from twelve to eighteen for those who eat a good diet and train well, the fees will usually be all good. So, if you identify more with twelve percent, as I am today, okay, you can have twelve, calm. Leandrão, with fifteen I identify myself more, I like a little bit of fat, because it makes my shape a little bigger, I don't need to have so much vascularity, I don't even like it, I think these vessels are ugly, they look like sick people.
So, I don't even like it, I prefer to keep the percentage a little bit higher so that these vases disappear, even if it looks better . Did the exams hit? They knocked.
Is it within twelve to eighteen? It is. Easy.
For example, I would be able to be a hundred kilos with sixteen of BF. If I identified myself in that bigger way, eight kilos bigger, but I don't identify myself, understand? There is that obese ex thing, so you look, a little bit of a belly is a lot more uncomfortable than for someone else.
But you get an ectomorph who has always been thin, he says: Gee, I prefer to keep twenty percent, at least I get really big , that bigger guy. Because otherwise, I will have my abdomen cracked, but I also don't have a little Bic marker leg . Because, for example, I would even like to stay at six percent all year round , but then I have to do a lot more food restriction, I'm going to have to do a lot more cardio, and cardio is going to consume me time and physical tiredness, and I I work a lot.
So, for me it is not so interesting, for me twelve closes the account for life. See what closes for your life, how you identify yourself. Twelve to eighteen for men, eighteen to twenty-four for girls.
Exams take off once a year, show the ball, that fillet drums, if everything goes well that's it. If you want to change it is because you want to. Remember, if you are not a bodybuilder, if you are not an athlete, if you .
. . Stay calm, you don't need to go ahead and look for a bodybuilder shape .
You seek an ideal and the ideal is utopian at times, you do not arrive. Another point that is legal to comment on is the reconciliation with other physical activities. So, there are a lot of people who, for example, six feet with ninety pounds with twelve percent fat, or eighty pounds with twelve percent fat?
As I said, as long as you fit in, quiet, exam hit, beauty. Who will choose ninety? Who wants to be bigger, understand?
Except that sometimes being bigger is bad. Let's say that this person plays tennis, a ninety person with twelve percent and an eighty person tends to be slower, and that may not please. He is not a professional athlete, but he likes what he does.
So, sometimes she will want to keep herself a little thinner. So, as I said, what works best for your life. I like to play my football, if I get sixteen, seventeen fat and one hundred pounds I will get hurt.
So, for me it does not behave, so there are a series of factors in my life that carried me into this physical form, which I am satisfied with. I hope that one day you will be satisfied with your body, because this is the coolest thing in your life. Leandrão, your process is really cool , but you said you had more than forty percent body fat.
Yeah. It reached ten. I have already arrived.
He has already lost almost forty kilos. Already. How was that process for you to never be fat again?
Because this is very important. I imagine that whoever is here looking for the ideal weight, there must be a lot of people who are really concerned with the scale, with this state of fat, thin and so on. So, I told a little of my story and I will leave here this step by step, the strategies and everything for you to lose weight forever.
So, take a look at this video.
