so this writer is retarded right....?

ok so tell me if this isnt retarded.

"A high-ranking Blazers source told Jason Quick on Thursday that Greg Oden still has the same body-fat percentage (7.8 percent) as he did when the Blazers drafted him, yet he has gained nearly 30 pounds, bringing him near 280 pounds.

Translation: That's 30 pounds of muscle that has been attached to his upper-body (he hasn't been able to do any lower body weight training because of his knee surgery). "

well if he gained 30 pounds of muscle then his body fat % would have gone down no? so obv some of that 30 pounds was fat/whatever if its still the same body fat %... 250lbs with 7.8 is less fat than 280 with 7.8. its not really a big deal but its dumb that a writer would mess this up and kind of funny that he gets cocky and says "Translation: (wrong shit)"

Yeah i mean it's not retarded but it's a wrong statement.

[ensign_lee]

I think it's a funny and wrong statement.

[bode]

its not that bad. he probably meant that he didnt gain any body fat (% wise).

[EzDuzIt]

i wouldnt have minded the mistake so much it was just tilting me that he got cocky with the translation part.

Im confused... why is this wrong?

he said:

oden had body/fat percent of 7.8

oden gained 30lbs [of unspecified body mass]

oden still has body/fat precent of 7.8


what exactly am I missing?

he said:

oden gained 30lbs [of unspecified body mass]

oden still has body/fat precent of 7.8


what exactly am I missing?

.922 X 30 = 27.66

So he gains 27.66 lbs of muscle and 2.44 lbs of fat?
