    You arent considering the fact that superman is not human, he is from Krypton. Muscle fibers might (and most likely certainly are) much much different than human muscle fibers

    Thus is why we are going to find out the other super heroes tonight and have a super heroes body fat showdown!

    No he really is! Have you ever seen Mighty Mouse? That little rat really eats his spinach. :huh:

    So does Popeye but he has a semi belly and really big forearms. Granted he smokes so maybe that counter acts.

    What about the fact that most scales aren't advanced enough to get it 100% on 1 pound.. what is one is 1.0028 pounds and the other is 1.0042 pounds? Then one pound is heavier than the other!

    That is proven false because at body fat and frame/measurements superman has their is no way he could only weight 215 pounds then. It's muscles would just be strands with giant air pockets.
    So your results are based on a super hero...sorry to break it to ya but comparing measurements of superman is like comparing barbie and making her life size....silly

    Apparently you and barbie have the same cognitive ability to read sarcasm and what section of the forum you are in. ;-)

    Speaking of that... I wonder what work would think if they see my google history....

    What is supermans measurements
    What does superman weight
    He-man photos
    Annoying photos for messageboards
    Spike 84 diet
    What is batmans measurements
    calculation to figure out muscle density
    How to figure out volume of an object
    How much doe batman weigh
    animated gifs to pi$$ people off

    I think we'd think that you need to take an English class to review grammar as well as a science class to re-think your logic.

    1kg of fat takes up 18% MORE space than 1kg of muscle. FACT
  • Superman weighs 215 pounds and has roughly the same shoulder and frame that I have. According to research on the internet. I weigh 300 pounds and I have more fat then Superman. I also looked up body fat % and by the numbers I found on the internet and my own numbers I have proven that fat is 1.283% heavier then muscle. Now we can quit having this conversation! Superman and I have spoken!

    I AGREE muscle doesnt way more than fat a certified trainer on msn wrote an article about how they both weight the same but muscle has a smoother shape than fat which looks like a brick :/

    thanks a lot.

    False. Not everyones muscle and fat is the same. You can't throw out percents like that.

    Was anyone expecting to see a pound of animal fat on one side of a scale and a pound of animal muscle on the other side, and then wincingly clicked on this thread out of morbid curiousity? Or was that just me?

    Edited to add: I am now wondering about my psyche...

    A serious train wreck occurs *exactly* at the US/Canadian border. In which country are the survivors buried?

    Sarcasm and humor isn't your strong point is it...

    No it's not. But to play along, Chuck Norris can beat Superman any day,

    OP Does it really matter? As long as you can differentiate muscle from fat then you are set...
  • Posts: 4,605 Member
    I hear it's heavier... :bigsmile:

    Qarol, this is a good try, but clearly you don't understand entirely the distinction between weight and heaviness. You and your fancy book learnin'. Fortunately for you, i think i might know someone who can explain it really coherently for you.

    Mexico.

    They died after getting off the train and taking a plane to Mexico that crashed near Cabo San Lucas. They should have waited on Superman to save them with his heavy muscles so they could fly safely to their vacation destination.
  • That is a myth.................Ask yourself the old question of: "Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?” They weigh the same. "A pound is a pound!” I agree that anyone looks better muscular than fat. I know this because I used to be into bodybuilding and had that V-shape. But now that I'm 53 years old, out of shape, eating junk food for years and not weightlifting any, I do look very different from back in the day. Sometimes looking into the mirror I ask myself............"Just what happened and who is that looking at me?" But since 13 Oct 11 I am back on the road to eating right and have lost 26 lbs so far with about 40 more to go. I know that I will never have that young body again but at least I won't scare myself to death looking in the mirror. Good luck to all that is on the weight loss cycle....................

    You really should read the posts in this thread before an attempt at a serious comment. Sarcasm is your friend.

    You can't compare yourself to superman. He has special powers and special fat and special muscle mass. THAT's already been proven .. THAT's a fact Jack! .. That's why he can fly! Sheesh .. It's not rocket surgery!

    I don't believe a word Superman says. CrossedArms.gif

    If it had been said by Spiderman then I would believe it.

    yes. however, aquaman would have been a close second..
  • I think its funny that this turned into 8+ pages lol
