herman Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 there's been a lot of debate about akinde and why he doesn't play more i was browsing the player profiles on bcfc.co.uk and noticed that his weight is listed as only 64kg (10st 1lbs), and as he is 1,88 (6ft 2) this gives him a BMI (body mass index) of 18.1 which is medically underweight - i have to say that surprised me a lot, personally of course, BMI doesn't accomodate for body fat percentage, but with the reports of him looking off the pace at brentford, could it be the case that our "powerful, strong target man" is actually underweight for his size? check the figures yourself... http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to believe it's not a mistake though. Having said that, you would think that McCombe was more than 12 stone 5. Akinde doesn't move around like a lightweight does he and the defenders at Palace seemed well wary of him Brooker was 14 stone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 If those stats are correct he's an absolute weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskay Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 If those stats are correct he's an absolute weed. No way he is 10 stone, he'd look like crouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 you would think he's put on a bit of bulk, those figures are very concerning if true. 6ft 2 and 10 stone, thats unhealthy never mind lightweight. Against Championship centre halfs he'll be dogmeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinker Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Give him some of the pies at the gate. That will bulk him up and drop his centre of gravity.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
