André René Roussimoff grew so big as a boy in rural France that, as a much-told story goes, his neighbour Samuel Beckett drove him to school because he no longer fitted on the bus. As André the Giant, billed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, he became the most recognisable wrestler of his era: his match with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania III in 1987 drew an announced 93,173 to the Pontiac Silverdome, and in 1988 he briefly held the WWF Championship. He played Fezzik in The Princess Bride (1987), and after his death in 1993 became the first inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame.
His size came from acromegaly, and the numbers are extraordinary: 218 cm and 236 kg, the 520 lb he was billed at. Even at about 35% body fat, his lean mass alone came to roughly 150 kg, more than most heavyweight boxers weigh in total.

A visual estimation of the areas of your body with a higher likelihood of containing more fat than others -- not a measurement. This feature is experimental; treat the heatmap as an indication, not a clinical finding. Accuracy is best at the extremes of body-fat percentage, weaker in the middle, and atypical body shapes (athletic builds, pregnancy, etc.) may not be modelled well.
| Metric | Value vs reference | Reference | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -1.9° | 0° = vertical (frontal knees-to-head axis) | natural — upright |
| Head forward offset?Accurate to about ±1-2 cm in a single scan -- camera tilt and head rotation (looking up / down / sideways) are the main confounders. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, look straight ahead and keep the camera level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0 = ear in line with the spine axis (no forward head) | — |
| Forward/back lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0° = vertical (side knees-to-head axis) | — |
| Shoulder tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -1.4° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
| Hip tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -1.7° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
