StartFFMI measures fat-free mass relative to height — a "muscle BMI". The normalized value removes height bias for fair comparison.
An index of fat-free mass (muscle, bone, etc.) relative to height — essentially a "muscle BMI".
Lets lifters gauge muscle mass and growth potential, and see how close they are to the natural muscle ceiling.
For men: ~18 average, 20 good, 22–23 near the natural limit, >25 rare (often involves drugs). Women run about 3–4 points lower.
