In 1848, 5 percent body fat was average for a German man. Today, average is more like 25%. For eltie athlets, about 8-12%. Source is:>Vorlesungen über die specielle Pathologie und Therapie der inneren Krankheiten des Menschen. Volume 2>By Augustin Grisolles and Friedrich-Jacob BehrendIt says:>2. Polysarcopenia or ObesityThe accumulation of fat, when it has become considerable enough to interfere with individual functions of animal life, forms a debilitating condition known as polysarcia, obesity or polypimalia.Polysarcia is localized or generalized. The former is more of a disfigurement than a disease and is observed particularly on the abdominal area in men after the age of 35, and in women who have had many children. This partial accumulation of fat rarely causes digestive disorders, instead usually making forward movement of the trunk difficult or even impossible.>If the polysarcia is generalized, the body reaches a tremendous dimensions, it can weigh 150, 300 and up to 400 kilograms (note: 330 lbs, 660 lbs or 880 lbs). The fat, which in an adult man of normal obesity is only 1/20 of the total body weight, can increase up to half of this weight, up to two thirds, even up to four fifths. The body develops a tremendous circumference and its individual parts appear deformed. >Such individuals can hardly move, have a peculiarly stiff gait, as a result of the difficulty with which they stretch and especially bend their joints; and most of them cannot undergo the slightest physical exertion without losing their breath, being bathed in sweat and experiencing severe palpitations.. Some eat very little and reluctantly, but most are quite voracious.
Clearly oudated and inaccurate. How would they know someone could reach 400kg, when no one near that size existed then.
>>74772590>The former is more of a disfigurement than a disease and is observed particularly on the abdominal area in men after the age of 35It does seem that starting at age 25 or something that men store more bodyfat around their abdomen. Its like they get a little pouch. Not even from increased bodyfat in general, but that the body specifically stores more there. I noticed this in my self and commented on it and some other gym bro said he had also noticed that in him self and another gym bro friend of his.
>>74772590>5 percent body fat was average for a German manNo it wasn't
>>74772598>>74772623>being this fat
>>74772590>three years after Hitler destroyed his society and decimated families with lack of food and medicine people were thinOh wow really now
>>74772590lol i don't fucking care what some emaciated peasant farmers looked like
>>74772590He means 5% was the weight of the fat but muscles are obviously heavier
>>74772640>Americans when looking at historical datesSad!
>>74772640>destroyed his society>every step israel takes is right out of 3rd reichlol, why are jews so hypocritical, you fags always try to copy success
>>74772590You are disingenuous. The text says that is believed that 1/20 of the body is fat, and you omit that info. And of course it was only a hypothesis, because the text is from 1848. They didn't have a dexa scan back then, they couldn't measure body fat percentage accurately, it's just a guess.>>74772640Are you retarded or just acting like one, it's from 1848 not 1948.
>>74772640>three years after Hitler destroyed his society and decimated families with lack of food>1848America...
