The bodybuilding legend told the JRE host he had a 0.33 percent at that time, which quite stunned the latter. I was point three, three, Coleman said. Point three, three, what does that mean? Is that less than three percent? Rogan replied in shock.

Thats less than half a percent, the former Mr. Olympia further admitted. At this point, the MMA enthusiast was in disbelief. So he further asked, Point three, three like what!! How does a human get that low?

I got to attribute to my genetics, Coleman replied. Further on, Rogan asked about his offseason body fat number. About three percent, Coleman answered. The veteran UFC color commentator is a fitness enthusiast and maintains good shape by working out regularly. Thus, he has enough knowledge about bodybuilding. However, he was still shocked by Colemans statement.

So he further asked, Three was that high? To which the 8-time consecutive winner of Mr. Olympia replied, Thats the highest I am 330 pounds at that, though.

Professional bodybuilders are famous for having a very less body fat percentage. They cut down even more fat before their competition by cutting down water, sugar, fatty foods, salt, and more.

Coleman claimed about having 0.33 percent body fat during competition. His assertions, however, were refuted by physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist Dr. Brian Sutterer, who said it was inhumanely impossible.

In a YouTube video, Dr. Sutterer said it is necessary to maintain three to five percent of body fat, as fats are vital to absorb vitamins, regulate hormones, and regulate body temperature.

However, Dr. Sutterer further added that the machines that are used to measure body fat percentage arent 100 percent accurate. This might have been the case with the legendary bodybuilder, as per Dr. Sutterer.
