FFMI Calculator: Your Key to Natural Muscle Potential
The most accurate FFMI calculator used by over 1 million athletes worldwide. Whether you're a natural bodybuilder, powerlifter, or fitness enthusiast, this FFMI calculator reveals your true muscle-building potential with scientific precision.
How the FFMI Calculator Works (Science-Based)
Our FFMI calculator uses the original Kouri et al. (1995) formula with updates:
- FFMI = (Lean Mass in kg) ÷ (Height in m)²
- Normalized FFMI = FFMI + 6.1 × (1.8 − Height in m)
- Natural Limit: ~25.0 (men), ~22.0 (women)
Normalized FFMI Calculator for Fair Comparison
Adjusts for height to 1.8m standard. A 1.6m lifter with FFMI 24 = normalized ~26. Compare fairly with this FFMI calculator.
