    Mine is currently 27 which is the same as Lebron James

      Aye, BMI seems like a bit of a nonsense. I had a close to overweight reading last year despite being at one of my lightest weights. I have put on some weight in muscle since and entering the figures myself gives me a reading of 22.1. No doubt the reading on 3rd May will have me closer to 25.
      If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

        It's only a guideline. I don't see the problem with it, as long as you don't assume it tells you everything.

        Lebron James and Chazza may have the same BMI but having seen them both I can assure you there is a massive difference between a finely honed athlete who spends hours every day doing exercise over many years and the sack of overweight ****e that is Lebron James.

        Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

            My BMI is about 22 which is in the ideal zone so that's pretty good.

              Luckily for me as it would be almost impossible to tell you apart.

                Mine's 21 @ 5'7" & just over 14st. Slightly disappointed it wasn't lower when I had it tested (with the caliper test) the other month, but that's what you get when you're banned from running/ martial arts for months & having a desk-job.

                BMI is bollocks, mine's 30ish as I recall. Don't work on athletes.

                  If I cook a chicken breast and have with pasta in about half hour. Would going to the gym at half 9 be enough time in between?

                      Excellent. Going late as should be a bit quieter. Its open 24 hours.

                        I'd really struggle getting to sleep after going so late. Used to have TKD lessons at 930 sometimes & you'd really stay awake cos of the post-exercise endorphins.

                          No, you're right, it doesn't. Not professional level anyway. Below them, well, it kicks in at some point...

                          And most people aren't anywhere near that level so it's not so bad for them. Just because it doesn't work for everybody, it doesn't make it useless.

                              It does sound like it's not much use to you, because of the weight training though, not the height, surely.
