Where can I find reliable muscle mass chart on the Internet?
For example I found this, but....
According to another article:

There isn’t a lot of credible data on average muscle mass percentages. The only source with reliable information is a 2000 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology. In the study, researchers measured the muscle mass percentages of 468 men and women.
Their muscle mass chart is more oriented to age.

Muscle mass percentage averages for men
AgeMuscle mass percentage
18–35 40–44
36–55 36–40
56–75 32–35
76–85 < 31
Muscle mass percentage averages for women
AgeMuscle mass percentage
18–35 31–33
36–55 29–31
56–75 27–30
76–85 < 26
So let say a young man is 21 years old (not me) with 40% muscle mass, is he considered low in his age group (second chart), or high referring to the first chart?
It is confusing.
