Normalized FFMI (adjusted to 6ft / 1.83m for comparison)

Fat-Free Mass

For men, a normalized FFMI above ~25 is rare without performance-enhancing drugs; most genetically-typical, well-trained natural lifters top out around 22-25. The natural ceiling for women is roughly 4-5 points lower. Treat this as a rough benchmark, not a verdict.
