Physique benchmark
How Charles Clairmonte measures up
Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.
30.6FFMI
30.5Normalised FFMI
139thOf 316 measured men
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Sergio Oliva, at 30.4.
What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 73 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Charles Clairmonte sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Legacy
British bodybuilding produced a run of world-class professionals in the late eighties and early nineties and their records are almost entirely unwritten. Three Universe titles and four Grand Prix wins is the strongest of them.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1985 to 1997.
Contests of this era awarded a height or weight CLASS title and then a separate OVERALL, and some gave a Most Muscular award. A class win and an overall placing at the same contest are both correct, and a Most Muscular row is a prize given at that contest rather than a win of it.
