Yea, anyone with any muslce is not going to work on BMI at all. I was mainly talking about the skinny people you see around that couldn't jog a mile if you asked them to.

[Yabby]

I dunno about you guys, but this is the body type I think we should all strive for.

LOL every time i see this i try to figure out what he thinks he is doing... i just... i don't know.

[Tymon]

Well he's lifting like 700 lb, so he's definitely doing something.

[Yabby]

If he was picking it off the ground, sure... but it's starting at his chest. He cut out all the impressive parts, from there he uses that belt and his gut to keep him up-right.

His entire thing is unorthodox lifts.

Almost everyone who is overweight or obese by BMI would have a lower risk of weight-related diseases if they lost enough body fat to get down to normal BMI.

Even when I'm stage ready for a body building show I'm still pushing morbidly obese on the BMI scale and I'm definitely well under 10% body fat. BMI is a poor metric, individually and for populations at indicating the risk of certain diseases. It's also based on genetics, socioeconomic factors, environmental factors, lifestyle, etc.

Hence, almost. Literal bodybuilders wouldn't fall into this grouping.

Bodybuilders, athletes, anyone that does a physically demanding job, etc. It's a pretty bad metric.

Lol

BMI is a bad metric to evaluate obesity.

Hes obsessed with it because he chased it for his 40th birthday. But ignores all the other contributing factors that can affect a person's health. Also what are weight based diseases?

No it's pretty good and is applicable to the vast majority of people.

If we had easy access to accurate body fat% to combine with it that would be even better, but alas.

What metrics do you BMI deniers prefer?

Basic fitness test? Like i said before, for most normal non-active people it is a good metric.

If you are tall, short, spend time in a gym, or have an active physical job, it will be off.

It's actually not good at all and most providers hate the metric.

So something that isn't easily measured, has no empirical data behind it, etc?

Sounds like a horrible metric.
