Actually if you read Lyle carefully he doesn't even say he thinks the 21% looks off. He just says "it's impossible to eyeball" and refuses to pick a number.
He says "lol 18% is low" but that was just a random tangent because nobody had claimed 18%.
Here is Lyle's post:
"When people have that even distribution, it becomes impossible to eyeball
a girl I know got DEXA'ed, lokoing at her you would have sworn maybe 19%. She came in at 26%
bottom line
1. you don't get to assume starting BF%AGe
2. this guy is NOT 18%
3. diet him down and you'll see that he did not gain that much muscle"
So WTF? He doesn't even say "that looks wrong", he basically says "that must be wrong because it contradicts prevailing opinion".
