Summary
Whether you're a high performance athlete, a bodybuilder, or looking to live a long youthful life, your ideal bodyweight has always been very subjective. Until now.
Previous measures like BMI are notoriously useless due to variability in bone and muscle size. One of the world's leading experts on Kin-anthropometrics, Francis Holway, joins me to dive into the ultra fascinating topic of ideal amount of muscle for your skeletal size and structure.
Francis has measured tens of thousands of individuals from every major sport, average people, and children to determine exactly where performance thrives. This has huge implications in pro sports across the entire world and
Francis is currently very highly sought after among pro sports teams from the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, as well as pro sports from all over Europe, Australia, and South America.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the Muslim Intelligence Podcast. I'm your host, Ben Pekolsky. |
| 0:11.6 | As always, we're framing this podcast around creating your greatest life and a body that you |
| 0:16.4 | absolutely love. Today is a very, very interesting podcast, something I didn't even know |
| 0:21.8 | existed just a few weeks ago. And I think it may be one of the most interesting breakthroughs |
| 0:26.2 | to come into the world of fitness and professional athletics in certainly the last 20 years. |
| 0:32.1 | Francis Hallway sits down with me today to discuss his discoveries and his research in a area called kin |
| 0:39.4 | anthropometrics, which is effectively the study of the size and proportions of the skeletal |
| 0:44.9 | structure of the body. Now, that may sound weird and obscure and unimportant to you, but let me tell |

| 1:17.3 | our bodies or structures are suited to be really, really good at certain things. Now, |
| 1:23.9 | wouldn't that be interesting as a child or as a teenager or even as a young adult |
| 1:28.1 | to be told and shown what your body is best suited for and what body weight would be best |
| 1:36.8 | for that particular athletic endeavor? That's incredibly interesting. Francis Hallway has measured |
| 1:41.3 | coming up on hundreds of thousands of people at this point from |
| 1:45.2 | professional sports all across the world, dancers, gymnasts, soccer players, NFL, NBA, |
