Eric Cobb looks different

Awful writing then

But if you drop 60lbs, you’re losing more than 2% body fat. It doesn’t make sense

I lost 54 lbs and didn’t lose 2% body fat. Can’t speak for anyone else but I didn’t.

It has to be a mistake. There is no way he is down to 2% body fat. And there is no way he lost all that weight and only lost 2% of his previous body fat. He would have had to be made up of almost all fat.

He was 280 and is 245. Lost 35 pounds. That's 13% of his total body weight. His fat was likely not more than 20% of his entire body weight before. So 2% of his body fat would be 1.12 pounds. Of that 35 pounds it's reasonable that the majority was fat, some is water, some is connective tissue, and hopefully very little was muscle.
 
The scales that measure body fat are often wrong. For example, to reduce your body fat drink lots of water before weighing yourself. Your total weight will go up, but your body fat % will go down.
 
Cobb's BF% is not 2%, lol.
If Cobb's BF% is 2%, then we need to look for another trainer.

You're right.

It doesn't make any sense in any context.

He's clearly lost more than 2% of his body fat and he's clearly not sitting at 2% body fat because he's not dead.

I was going to buy one with BF% because I need a new scale anyway but none of them seem to be accurate according to everything I've read. It said they're somewhat accurate for ectomorph body types but if you have a different build then you're better off with hydrostatics or calipers
 
Cobb weighs 226 and is 2% body fat. So Cobb has less body fat % than any pro bodybuilder when they go on stage. Incredible!
 
They definitely meant it as in he was let's say 26% body fat and is down to 24% body fat

Can't believe Chief hasn't clarified this. If Cobb is 6'9" tall and weighs 225 pounds there's no way he has very much body fat unless he's actually a woman.

Hes not 225. Hes 245.

Where is this ## coming from guys. Read the scale lol! He posted a picture!
 
The actual (claimed) numbers were he went down from 14% body fat to 12% body fat.

Which is a very good body fat level for an athlete. Sub-10% body fat levels are generally not sustainable.

Fire Alosi. Kid is too skinny. Our staff can't recruit a player with some size.

Really, even if you decide to fire Alosi, who is going to be the guy who has to tell him?! :eek:

Superjohn is right. Bodybuilders do crazy things to bring their body fat down just before a show, usually to the 4-5% range which is considered medically dangerous.
 
If he’s fat or not I don’t care. We’ve seen plenty of players with dad bods who position well, have great footwork, soft hands and brains to play smart. Focusing on Williams jumping ability or Cobbs body fat completely misses the point on what it talkes to play. Give me BB IQ which is somewhat innate.

True but being in good shape doesn’t hurt. Can you imagine how great Khalid could have been if he was blessed with an athletic frame to go with his immense talent and BB IQ?

This makes a lot more sense. Lived in same dorm as a basketball player who was 6'8" 235 and there was nothing fat about him.
