last year i had some serious real life issues and was having a very unhealthy life and then went all emo f*g and did a lot of drinking and partying and bad meals and maybe some drugs (just sayin <_<) so i gained some weight. been slowly droping tho

atm i am 1.70 m high ( obvious basketball player) and around 83 kg's atm. i have a very hard time losing weight so it drops very very very slowly . . . . :( still my fault

also david livramento is really skinny just compare him to the guys one his right and left =/

Me at 225 lbs- BMI 24.7
The chart says I'm borderline obese. The doctor told me to not lose any more weight. The BMI is a rough reference at best.
The cutie is my mom doing her first 5k.

Cameron Meyer isn't a track sprinter. Watch him take on Gregory Baugé ;)

Oh i totally disregarded the sprinter comment. :eek: My mistake.
I thought he meant track riders in general, which obv. you understand my confusion :p

Yeah some of the track sprinters can be beefy. But not that ^^ beefy :p

BMI is a crock of sh*t. Last year at a company health screening the dude had me at borderline overweight. He measured me at 5' 7", 157 lb. I'm actually 5' 8" but that's beside the point. I'm nowhere near fat. I have large muscular legs from cycling and running, and I have a fair amount of muscle mass in my upper body from push-ups and yoga. BMI, as far as I can see, does not take muscle into account at all. It's just a ratio of weight to height. As someone pointed out earlier muscle is much more dense and therefore heavier. For that reason I completely ignore BMI.

It is indeed, and if referred to too closely can be somewhat damaging.

What it shouldn't be used for is a measure of athleticism. If you take professional rugby players (the sport that makes me painfully slow at riding bikes up a hill) from the world cup around 65% would be classed as overweight and 25% obese - even though they are running/falling/fighting for 80 minutes.

This is my teammate Chris B. Cat 2 racer. He used to race in Europe and was about 165lb. With bodybuilding ballooned to about 300lb now about 195lb.

I am left to wonder as to which the average female would consider least attractive

An unscientific survey of one (my dearly beloved) was marginally less repulse by the chicken.

But the moral of the story is that body fat, in moderation, is good.
