This measurement is bullshit because it doesn't account for less than 1% of the population who are professional athletes.

they always use football players, body builders and strongmen as examples, but ignore the increased cardiovascular risk factors associated with those groups

Espesily when considering how bmi is actually less accurate toward females. But not in direction they like to think

Not surprising, since most foids dont want a muscular definition ( :marseycry: ) so if they train its mostly light cardio (nothing wrong with that :marseyturnedon: ) and just watch their weight by food intake. The trend to fat asses ( :marseyn!o: ) probably exacerbates that further.

I'm generally fond of the New BMI calculator but that helps account for BMI being too generous for shortlets (IIRC it's too generous for any height <= 5'8). For 6'2 men it only increase the healthy range by about 10lbs, so even with tall men the ones bitching about BMI are still going to be fatties. And unless you do as much physical activity as a coal miner, it's still going to be too generous.
