does it tell you that you're on your death bed too?

According to that, I shouldve died in HS, when I was in the best shape of my life.

Its stupid. Its a height/weight ratio. Doesnt't take anything esle into consideration.

I'll stick with my calipers, thanks :p

**johnsbod** · 10-01-2005, 10:37 PM

Ya, anything that is based purely on height and weight is ridiculous. Not only does it not take into account how much muscle you have, it ignores other factors like bone thickness and density. I don't know why anyone would rely on a simple ratio like that.

I'm 37 or so.

I'm really 16%

Vinter · 10-02-2005, 01:07 AM

yeah like I said in another thread, I was moderatly overweight in this picture according to the BMI chart

builtbeast · 10-03-2005, 04:06 AM

The BMI is not a good indicator of your state of fitness in general since it neglects bf and lbm in the equation.

I'm glad to be severely overweight, it means my hard work has paid off. :bigthumbu

Vinter · 10-03-2005, 04:16 AM

haha yeah exactly, they really need to get rid of it or try and make some sort of a better general chart, because it may not make us get an eating disorder, but I feel sorry for the female that sees that chart....

Comatose · 10-04-2005, 01:38 AM

Haha, did you read what it says underneath the BMI Chart?

The part that scares me if that my BMI is 27, and I am at 19% Bodyfat.

KingOfChaos · 10-04-2005, 10:55 PM

:P

BMI people think having too much muscle is as bad as having too much fat. What ****ing tools they are.
