Should BMI be discarded as trash by people who are working out?
Here's casual in clothes Jason Statham at 5'9 (some say 5'10 but i doubt it. Maybe in shoes, sure). So anyhow, why does this look so much healthier that Conor McGregor who is also 5'9 but looks waay too sinewy and almost unhealthy fit.
But! McGregor's BMI is perfect, where as Statham would be normal but closer to 25.
tldr; Why does Statham look so better than McGregor at around the same height and McGregor being actually much fitter in practicality?

BMI is a statistical measure to look at population and correlations. It is not a measure which says "if ur bmi is x thats bad and if its y thats gud" except by retards who don't understand how these things work.
As a statistical measure it is very good, as most people are not abnormally muscular or atrophied.

If youve ever taken anything fitness/health related in school you'd know BMI should be never used to dictate someones fitness, its too general and doesnt take in any variables such as muscle mass
also mcgregor probably trains in ways that are specific for his sport, making him a better athlete in his sport, not to look better
jason statham does look incredible tho

This. Simply put, BMI is pointless for just the individual.
McNigger is at least an inch shorter than Statham.
Here's more like Statham height
5'10 according to internet, so maybe really 5'9 barefoot

BMI is perfectly fine for people besides athletes. Well, even athletes. Just not specifically people who lift. No one else besides us cares about putting on muscle mass to the absolute extreme. BMI literally only doesn't apply to people who lift and is generally fine for anyone else.
