Is the Body Mass Index a fraud?
« on: December 14, 2007, 12:44:15 PM »
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.

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.

Monster hypocrisy. Epic delusion. Brutal honesty.

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?

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.

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