The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bb-record-row\">\n<div class=\"bb-record-row__stats\">\n<p><span class=\"bb-record-stat__num\">29.9<\/span><span class=\"bb-record-stat__label\">FFMI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bb-record-stat__num\">29.6<\/span><span class=\"bb-record-stat__label\">Normalised FFMI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bb-record-stat__num\">163rd<\/span><span class=\"bb-record-stat__label\">Of 316 measured men<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"bb-section-sub\">The closest Olympia champion on that measure is <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/arnold-schwarzenegger\/\">Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>, at 29.6, the same figure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bb-section-sub\">What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women&#8217;s classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where John Brown sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"bb-profile-section bb-profile-section--results\" aria-labelledby=\"bb-results-heading\">\n                <input type=\"radio\" name=\"bb-results-view\" id=\"bb-view-all\" class=\"bb-results-state\" checked=\"checked\"\/><br \/>\n                <input type=\"radio\" name=\"bb-results-view\" id=\"bb-view-olympia\" class=\"bb-results-state\"\/><br \/>\n                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"bb-results-expand\" class=\"bb-results-state\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"bb-section-head\">\n<h2 id=\"bb-results-heading\" class=\"bb-section-title\">Professional results<\/h2>\n<p>\n                                <label class=\"bb-results-filter__btn\" for=\"bb-view-all\">All results<\/label><br \/>\n                                <label class=\"bb-results-filter__btn\" for=\"bb-view-olympia\">Olympia<\/label>\n                            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"bb-section-sub\">Every professional contest result on record for John Brown, 12 in all.
