Genetic Potential Calculator

Se quer saber qual o seu potencial genético de desenvolvimento muscular que consegue atingir de forma natural, insira os seus valores de altura, perímetro (ou circunferência) de pulso e tornozelo, e a % de massa gorda objetivo para revelar esse potencial máximo. Esta calculadora é baseada em testes feitos a vários culturistas naturais avançados do género masculino, sendo que para mulheres estes valores poderão não fazer tanto sentido.
Once you have these values, it will then be possible to determine your FFMI (Fat-Free Mass Index) which is a very important parameter for assessing body composition.

Once known your genetic potential, the simplest and most effective way to follow the evolution of your body composition will be to know your FFMI (Fat-Free Mass Index, a well-known index in fitness industry). This measures the proportions between your height and your body weight excluding the body fat, which is to say the weight of muscle mass (35-50%), bone structure (~15%), and organs and other components (~ 25%). Muscle mass is the varying element and is what we are interested in tracking.
The classic Body Mass Index (BMI), commonly used by nutritionists and dietitians, is an inadequate indicator for people with above-average muscle mass, as it only takes weight and height into account, and is therefore inconclusive as to the proportions between body fat and muscle mass.
You can compare your FFMI with the standard values for men and women described in the graphs below.
