BF2S Forums Riddle me this...

Even when I had a six-pack I still had to get taped when I weighed in. So fucking annoying.

?
Its a genius tactic. Instead of debating a valid and reasonable point, just imply that Im fat, yet you havent seen any pictures of me. (Even if you did, it would be completely irrelevant to the point I brought up...)
So please, stop making an ass out of yourself.

Good for you.  BMI is OK is most cases i don't outright dismiss it as a indicative chart for assessing health.  But to place unquestionable reliance as you seem to be doing is foolish to say the least. 

If i was to get a complete health check would use also incorporate, body fat ratio and vo2 max.

Body fat is not a bad indication of body condition, but no indication of fitness, V02 max is better.
Big fat steroid muscles aren't a help there as its largely heart/lung capacity.

But the methods used to measure VO2 max outside of a lab environment are shit, as well. Too prone to error that have nothing to do with the body's ability to process oxygen. That's why the USAF finally got rid of that monstrosity of a bike ergometry test (supposed to measure VO2 max)--too easily swayed by heart rate spikes that had nothing to do with fitness levels (test anxiety, etc).

The best way to measure fitness is to identify tasks, apply standard criteria to them, and see if people can meet those criteria. BMI is not one of those, as it does not account for muscle mass vs fat mass. Nor does the standard abdominal circumference measurement, as it does not account for height (I shit you not--a guy who's 5'2" with a 36" waist is supposedly just as fit from an AC perspective as a guy who's 6'2" with the same waist measurement)--which is complete nonsense.

I've seen "fat slobs" with great VO2 max scores and skinny bastards with shit poor ones. It's all about whether they are actually putting in the time, doing the necessary exercise--not what they look like.

BMI is nonsense for athletic people, muscular body mass is not scalable in regular BMI. Of course I know this and I wouldn't even start calculating BMI for normal people.

As for Jay though, he's just fat as hell so BMI works just fine to show off his obesity.

My BMI is 25. Zomg im so fat
