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\">30.4<\/span><span class=\"bb-record-stat__label\">FFMI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bb-record-stat__num\">30.0<\/span><span class=\"bb-record-stat__label\">Normalised FFMI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bb-record-stat__num\">154th<\/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\/ramon-rocha-queiroz-profile\/\">Ramon Rocha Queiroz<\/a>, at 30.0, 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 Mike Christian sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"bb-profile-section bb-profile-section--unlisted\" aria-labelledby=\"bb-unlisted-heading\">\n<p><h2 id=\"bb-unlisted-heading\" class=\"bb-section-title\">Amateur and other shows not counted above<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bb-section-sub\">13 results from amateur shows and other contests this archive does not class as professional.
