no shit welcome to the current year, fucko

BMI is fine for the majority of people. It's easy to believe a world renowned athlete might be an exception.

my faggot doc said everyone bmi should be the same. fucking dumb pajeet

Yeah, I'm 6'4" and apparently 206 lbs is overweight for me on the BMI scale

>It doesn't apply to a literal world class athlete
>Therefore it's bullshit

You're a dumb fag OP, and probably a chubster trying to justify his gross weight by assuming the same things that apply to an olympic athlete with visible abs apply to himself.

It works just fine at judging the healthiness of the weight of the overwhelming majority of people. If it's obsolete for you, you're working hard and care enough to actually measure bf% anyway, so you're obviously not in the target demo for a shortcut measure like BMI.

most of the population bmi is inaccurate for is off the other end of the scale.

use bodyfat if there's any doubt about bmi effectiveness.

tfw eyes are more accurate than the scale

In other words: BMI is useful for its intended application.

Skinnyfats are actually it's major weakness. It classes them as "normal" despite having a high body fat %. The number of jacked dudes walking around with a 30+ BMI is really low. Hell, most natty lifters aren't gonna get too far past 25 without getting chubby. But there are loads and loads of skinnyfats that sneak by undetected.

>Past 25 without being chubby.
If you consider 5% bodyfat chubby, skelator.

If your abs are barely defined or worse you are chubby, perma-bulker.

everybody knows BMI doesn't take into account muscle but most people don't have enough muscle to have that make a difference
