Who is Francis Holway?
Francis Holway grew up on a farm in Argentina. From a young age he had an interest in the human physique, due to his Interest in the film ‘Tarzan’. He would watch and wonder “How could I achieve such a sculpted physique?”.
From the mid-1990s, Holway worked as a personal trainer. He attended a lecture on the topic ‘muscle-to-bone-ratio’, also known as MBR, which shows how much muscle mass a skeleton is carrying. When athletes know this information about their body, they can reduce the amount of injuries they occur and reach their peak physique. From this lecture, Holway learned how to calculate a person’s MBR, using specialized tools. He works to a ‘Five-to-one’ ratio; for each pound of bone a body carries, it can support five pounds of muscle. After that, a body will only add fat.
Holway went on to produce measurements for thousands of athletes including Football players and Boxers. He has travelled the world consulting with the Military, Olympic Committees and many well known sports teams.
