What's Your BMI?

[samoth]

The dumbfucks don't take into account whether you're a man or a woman. How scientific is that? Who came up with that bullshit? Surely not competent scientists.

It's just an extremely generalized way to measure body mass that's accessable by everyone with information that everyone already has. I don't think it's meant to be a super-scientific method to be taken as the be-all or end-all of a person's body.

Oh, I'm obese at 210 according to the BMI, which is usually what I hover at naturally during the semesters. My "natural" weight according to BMI is around 165 or so, which is probably about right, except for the whole training, diet and ergogenics stuff. I don't really care how heavy I am, as long as I like the way I look and have a healthy CV system. Unfortunetly, the latter gets more difficult at around 225+ for me. Luckily, bodybuilding is a lifelong endeavor, so I have all the time in the world. (My original goal from back in HS was, like, 265 @ 10%. I'd still like to attain this.)
