I guess most people on here would be considered Obese according to the standard BMI. If you lift weights, you're average height( 5'9'') and weigh around 230lbs, with a six pack, you are considered obese. Whoever put this chart together should be thrown in jail.

yeah, I'm obese....31.7 BMI
-
hahaha...I guess I'm fucking Obese too. 33.1 BMI
-
It's quite accurate for the average person.
And a 230 lb person at 5'9" who's got a six pack is a steroid user.. Not exactly what you'd call normal.
If you're 6 foot and ripped at 185 lbs(which is the absolute best a natural can do), then you'd be average accord to the BMI.
Of course most of you internet warriors are pretty chubby, despite your weigh lifting. You are overweight and it's not due to muscle mass. ::)
I think people like Bast, Adonis and even gh15 would agree with me.

Dude, don't forget that everyone here is atleast 240s lbs natural with a 6 pack and the ability to bench 500 lbs.

Monster hypocrisy. Epic delusion. Brutal honesty.

hahahahhaa, i'm 5'11" 240 pounds with at least 20 percent BF, i've never claimed to be 10 percent or to have abs.

hahahah.....I hope this BMI chart is geared toward the regular average Joe. The NFL is full of 5'9'' 230lbs guys who are as athletic as they come. I guess they're all fcuking obese by the BMI standard?

It's not intended for men on steroids.

BMI is useless for anyone with any muscle mass.
-
32.3!!! Wooohooo, I'm obese!
-
Im 29. Though i have very very ligh bones and look much heavier than i am.
The BMI sucks fails to take into account muscle mass bone density etc etc...load of nonsense.

I wish I'd kept those competition pics of that former GetBig member named Jeremy (from the old boards) that you posted claiming it was a competition pic of you.
I'm sure someone with better searching abilities than me will be able to dig it up... you really owned yourself that time.

45% but I'm going by my Ball Mass Index. My nuts can dent a car door
-
i have very very ligh bones and look much heavier than i am.
::)

Either way the BMI is a decent guide for regular people that don't train, a soccer mom for example..
-
::)

-

this maybe aint a great example
and in this foto i was only 215lbs max myself
-
how on earth can you tell anything from that photo when you're covered from head to toe, you look to be 205-210 there.
-

-

i remember reading an article a few years ago, and the article dealt with the long-term results of a study to determine the correlation between bmi and risk of heart disease, and basically the article's conclusion was that if your bmi is above 23 your risk for heart disease is increased irregardless of body comp

A "fraud"? ::) It doesn't appear the OP knows what the word fraud means.

34.7.......I'm going to die!!!!!!!! ::)

lol....we're all going to die ;D ;D,. Maybe they should create a different guidelines and categorize things in different order. Because this chart generalize every fcking thing into one and it is argueable. not many people is supporting it. Have you ever taken a physical, and the doctor come out of his office and said that everything is fine except that you need to loose weight, because, according to my chart, you're a fcking Pig. loosing your hard earned Muscle is no fun.

I'm 6'2" and according to that chart, I should weigh under 200 pounds to be "healthy"?!?!?! OK, I'll get right on that ::)

BMI is not nonsense. It does exactly what it was intended to do - provide a means of categorizing weight densities for the average person.
-
according to the BMI im considered obese in this picture right here. Its a bunch of crap
-
now that is GRANINESS. :o

How tall are you, mate. I'm guessing your bodyweight is around 190lbs ripped to the fcuking bones
-
I'm 5'8" and only 173, but I'm overweight. My last set of skinfold measurements had me at about 11% bf. Blood pressure 110/69 at last checkup, normal cholesterol. BMI doesn't mean shit.
-
I got my bodyfat % done yesterday, I"m at 10.0%
The body mass index was measured too, but I really didn't pay attention to it.

10%? Good improvement, the last pics from the Mr Getbig probably had you at a good 13-15%. Did you do skinfolds, biometrical impedence, or something else to measure the number? You have abs yet?

I'm actually trying to gain weight, eating 3000+ calories a day at 173 pounds or so. They used a little pincher and machine and asked a bunch of Qs as well. I don't think I'm that low, but when I train arms now, veins shoot out everywhere. I didn't see a single vein in my arm for 5 years before this haha...
here's a cell phone garage pic from the 240 Garage Classic 2007.

Eyeballing it, I'd put you in the ~12% range, but it could depend on how much fat you store in your lower body as well. At 10% you should be able to see rather clearly each individual part of the abdominals if you store your fat proportionally.
As a side note, looks like your chest has come up a shitload since the often-photoshopped "nudie most-muscular" from a while back.
-
yeah, I could be higher, I have no real clue on it. Thanks - I've lost 30+ pounds from those pics.

Yes, but the problem comes in when uninformed people try to apply it universally (i.e. health insurance, military weight limits, etc.) without understanding its limitations. It's intended to aproximate bodyfat percentage based on simple measures like height and weight. It does a pretty good job of this on most "normal" people. However, in weight-training athletes, it fails to differentiate between muscle and fat, placing a 200-lb 5'10" guy in the same health category whether he's 10% bf or 40% bf. It's very easy for a natural weight-trainer to be classified as overweight or obese while having an average or below-average level of body fat.

All BMI does is assess health risk...if your 5'9", 230 lean lbs you're probably juicing, which can increase health risk.
I got this from http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/, here are some of the risk's associated w/ a high BMI, and a lot of these are also risks associated w/ steriod use, I'd be willing to bet $ that it's very accurate.
high blood pressure (hypertension)
high LDL-cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol)
low HDL-cholesterol ("good" cholesterol)
high triglycerides
high blood glucose (sugar)
When I was juicing I had all of these except the high blood glucose...it was way accurate for me.
According to BMI, at 5'9", anyone 169 lbs+ is "overweight", and anyone 203 lbs+ is "obese". Your example may be valid for a 230-lb juicer, but not so much for a 205-lb off-season natural at 15%bf.

bast...

lol....damn, I knew this was coming. I think the medical community is still working on a special BMI chart designed specially for Onlyme. I hope they succeed. ;D
-
The BMI is a tool, and with all tools, it's succes depends on it's application.
The BMI is a global assesment of someones position on the bodyfat scale and the associated risks.
It's a tool that can be used on the majority of the population and in that respect it's a quick and useful method.
Some situations require a closer look and a different tool than the BMI, with bodybuilders that's case. In most cases it's the fault of the applicant using the wrong application/tool, not the tool itself that is to blame.

now that is GRANINESS. :o
Thanks Squadfather. Much appreciated, hard work, diet etc, but all worth it. Not too huge, but getting in shape is no problem, its easier starting off in good shape now, but I have been pretty fat before too. Im going to post up some pics, i have not posted before. Just to show im not naturally thin

I went from obese, to fat, to fit

Bone structures/bone weight/density varies very little from person to person. There's no such thing as "light" bones, just as there's no such thing as "big boned" as many fat people claim to be

The waist to hip ratio is a better measure of overall health.
