226lbs & 6% body fat.
No chance he's at 6% bodyfat. If he is, that isn't a good thing. Hormone levels start to drop precipitously at 8-9%.
Athletes and movie starts regularly throw out bodyfat percentage numbers about as believable as bros talking about their bench presses. You see claims of 4% or lower where they'd be dead or at risk of dying.
Contest bodybuilders compete at 4-5% with enough steroids and diuretics to kill an elephant, and sometimes die because of reaching that low level. An athlete at 6% bodyfat would be pretty useless.
Also, unless you're being measured by water volume displacement or some other advanced means of measurement, the skinfold measurements taken rely on calculations based on cadaver observation and assume fat distribution is relatively similar with every human being, which it clearly is not. Such measurements break down at lower BF levels.
But I get the point, he has kept in shape.
