What's up bros and broetts just a little fun fact for us all.

Body mass index: A key index for relating weight to height. Abbreviated BMI. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by his or her height in meters squared. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) now defines normal weight, overweight, and obesityaccording to BMI rather than the traditional height/weight charts. Overweight is a BMI of 27.3 or more for women and 27.8 or more for men. Obesity is a BMI of 30 or more for either sex (about 30 pounds overweight). A very muscular person might have a high BMI without health risks.

At 260 I would have to be 7' 2" to be 24.7 normal range, wtf? I'm currently 35.3, so I'm obese with a 33" waist and 54" chest? That's crazy.

Yeah, the company I work for is implementing a mandatory BMI screening starting next year and under certain parameters we will be required to go through a bunch of physical tests like sleep apnea studies and weight loss programs, I raised a question of concern for people who body build with no real answers. Wonder what my BMI would be with a 33" waist and 54" chest?

You would think how out of date the BMI information is especially in this day in age that it was written and is still managed by congress LMAO!!! There's gotta be some like 98 year old guy who came up with the damn thing who wants to hold on to it until he passes or something.

They need to come up with a BMI for bodybuilders so that we all aren't considered obese.

Last time a fat lady asked me if I workout to look good for the girls and in she said I'm already enough muscular. So I told her shes already fat enough.

Thats the reason why I don't "believe" in the BMI.
Bodies are too much different...

I’m 5 11 230 and my Dr says I’m over weight. Asks why I work out. BMI makes a lot more since than the typical outdated charts they use.
