Ha! I’m 6’ and 210, technically I’m mobidly obese by the doc’s BMI index....
However, I lift wieghts 6 days a week and have only 9% body fat...go figure...LOL
Been this way since my early 20s, now early 50’s
The day I can’t see definition in my abs I’ll consider myself fat...
Good for you. I'm 6-1, 26 and weigh 197.50. LIke you I lift hard 4 days a week and do cardio for 6. My gf is the same way-that is how we met. My gf is stronger than most men.
It’s a well known property of BMI that it does not extend to people like you - it’s written as a disclaimer everywhere BMI is described or explained. If you’re 9% body fat, then you’re good.
6' and 210 is a BMI of 28.4 and is therefore technically "overweight" by BMI standards.
30 or above is "obese" and 35 or above is "morbidly obese."
You would need to gain 50 pounds to be "morbidly obese" by the BMI standard.
The problem is that Government, Insurance and companies are setting policy based on BMI.
BMI measures BMI, not health or fitness.
