When did you realize BMI was correct all along and they hated it because it spoke the truth
one hour before you did
i'd normally agree but considering women and men use the same scale kinda takes away from it
>measuring height in inches
Why are americans so moronic?
>OY LUV YOUS IN 1.8 METAH ‘N HEIGHT. WUTS A METHA! A METAH ‘S BOUT 100 CENAMETAH LUV INNIT? ‘OH MUCH WEIGHT YOUZ DO? AH STONE! LUV A STONE BOUT 13 LBS IT IS. GOD SAVE DA KING
meds
bongs use feet and inches for height
American education
I do sometimes wonder why it's feet and inches instead of just inches, but that might just be because I'm a manlet with the 6 foot barrier but I clear the 70 inch threshold that would be the natural "tall" cutoff with inches only.
My view is it's correct in 99% of cases for people below a (natty) training age of 4 years.
I've been training for 3 years and recently bulked to 27 BMI and mid cut I'm back to 24 BMI with the aim of ending the cut at 23 BMI. There's definitely a group of people above me that could gain more muscle than me in than me with better training from the jump and better diet (though I've dialed in diet and training wise for 2.5 years) and genetics. Still with those advantages they would only feasibly make it to 24 BMI with visible abs.
So BMI is a great razor for the general public and also bodybuilders at the beginner and intermediate stage, in terms of assessing health.
Additionally, it's not like muscle making you overweight is entirely healthy. Overweight but lean with muscle is MUCH healthier than fat, however carrying mass in general requires higher metabolic processes and reduce lifespan (bigger people die sooner muscle or otherwise than smaller people). But this is a fine and very minor sacrifice given the quality of life for a man is exponentially greater the more muscle you have (and height).
Much better indicators for us as bodybuilder men is fat free mass index (google FFMI calculator) and bodyfat percentage. You should bulk and cut and establish goal weights and all that with body percentage calculations.
Every cut and bulk I do I determine target bodyweight and rate of gain/loss on the basis of calculated bodyfat at presented and a projected bodyfat percentage at a target weight
Honestly that just sounds like a cope. The heart cannot tell the difference between fat and muscle. Bodybuilders by definition ARE OBESE.

I clarified this...I'm not coping. And I was only speaking to overweight. Bodybuilders in the *obese* range are most likely on steroids so every I said stands on top of steroid risks.
To define bodybuilding; people who train hypertrophy for muscle appearance and thus between 8%-15% bodyfat.
According to BMI I am overweight. Meanwhile I easily run 8 miles and have at least 10 more pounds of muscle to put on.
Oh no no nonono...
>abs
>veins
>(you) moron
True. Yeah you are over 15% bodyfat and would ideally be cutting to get to 10% bodyfat prior to your next cut. My take is that 8%-15% bodyfat is the healthy bodyfat percentage range for men. I am guessing you are 17-18% bodyfat.
prior to your next bulk**
I'm mid bulk and have some abs and tons of arm veins. More athletic than I've ever been and putting on muscle.
BMI is a meme lil bros
You have 0 and a tiny bump of a bicep vein. Mind you this is with a pump. Youre so fat you couldn't show a no pump pic
Stop coping "big"(fat) bro
0 abs*
sure but I hope mid-bulk doesn't mean you have more than 3 months left of gaining. You don't have room to put on more fat.
Everyone has a global fat max, basically the peak amount of body fat someone has had at one point in their lives. This global fat max stays with you forever increasing your rate of fat gain on any future bulks. It makes cuts harder, maintenance harder, and bulks fatter. You should be cutting after your next post bulk maintenance phase and your bulk should be almost over.
pic is me at my fattest on bulk and I am cutting now to get (real) abs
You look good here. Well done. I'm mid bulk but making it a bit leaner now. The difference is I don't have any arm, delt or back fat. All my fat goes to my lower tummy so my total body fat really isn't high, as seen with my arm and delt veins and my back definition.
I still have a lot of lats, delts, chest, glute and quad to fill out, and I only recently started training abs hard and they're poking out more.
I stopped accumulating research on this a while back but the reason 15% and lower is better, is because of hormone function, athletic performance, and metabolic adaptations.
>According to BMI I am overweight
Yes you are. BMI is correct
well high BMI people die early
doesn't matter if muscles or fat
so... BMI is correct once again
>table ends at 203cm
why would you discriminate against us tall people?
now I don't know my BMI 🙁
Because it's inaccurate for unusually tall people. That's one of the pedantic excuses >people make for why BMI doesn't accurately reflect someone's health.
wait, inaccurate in what direction for tall people?
I knew the excuse that relatively much muscle mass can skew it
but I didn't knew it was bad for tall folks as well
So with 207cm, is the BMI scale shifted to the right or to the left?
