Found this on another forum but it's pretty neat and appears to be rather accurate.

My weight is about 193 at 10% bodyfat. Long ways to go.
I think between the calculator you posted and the Fat Free Mass Index calculator, people should get a pretty good idea of what to expect of their natural potential.
I would like to see some sort of a similar calculator be used in bodybuilding contests. It would bring back the classic physiques, for sure.

I dont know if i should be disappointed or happy about this calculator. According to it i only have about 15 more lbs of lean muscle i can possibly gain. And the measurements it says i'm supposed to have i'm exactly right or 1-2 inches less right now. Maybe i'm an exception hell i've defied logic before.
Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.
These ests were close to my actually sizes, yet I was bigger in my arms overall and chest.

For my actuals, I'll have to check back in later and edit this post for some of them. Here's what I know so far from measuring my left side:
Calves are 16.25
Biceps are just a shade over 15
Forearms are 12.25
Chest is roughly 40-42 (Can't get naked to find out while I'm here at work)
Thighs are roughly 20-21 for the same nakedness estimate....
My neck sucks....13.10
I currently weigh 178-183, depending on the day of the week, at around 12-17% bodyfat. So that means I could lose 10-15 pounds of fat and put on 15-20 pounds of muscle and still be natural. I'd be seriously impressed if I could do that, because I've always been a hard gainer with chubby tendencies.
Nice find. Thank you very much for sharing the link.
Around 195 at 10% BF. The FFMI has me closer to 185-190 at that BF percentage. It's good to have a mark though.

That's pretty damn neat, around 178 pounds at 10%...I got a way to go!
