“I bet many pro-athletes are now stunned that they are considered overweight or obese because of their BMI.”
Yep. BMI is so non-medically-sound, it’s shocking.
(I am WAY fat via BMI, but have a sub-10% bodyfat according to the Cooper Clinic. I also can deadlift 495lbs and just finished a rather large 1/2 marathon in the top 10 of my age group.)
Yeah, at 6’2” I am suppose to weigh 160-170. BS at my best shape a ahem... few years ago (my mod 30’s) I was 225-230 and was running 3 miles under 18 minutes 4 days a week and weights 3 days a week (squatted over 400 and bench over 260).
