It's simply because BMI does NOT take into account body fat vs. lean tissue. Body builders and other athletes carry more lean body mass than the average person and will therefore steroids be classified as overweight if BMI is used as the criteria for measurement. Conversely, someone could steroids have a "healthy" BMI of 19 to 22 and yet have a dangerously high level of body fat (a "skinny fat person"). The steroids solution of course, is to differentiate between your lean body weight and your fat weight. This can be done with body composition testing. There are many ways to test body fat, but the method I recommend is skinfold testing (the "pinch" test). |

| Let me show you an example of how BMI falls short as a measure of body composition. This morning I weighed in at 201 lbs. and I am 5' resorts 8 inches tall. resorts Converted to resorts metrics, 201 lbs. is 91.36 kilograms and 5' 8" is 172 cm or 1.72 meters. So now let's plug my stats into the BMI formula and see what we come up with... 201 lbs. = 91.36 kilos. 1.72 meters squared = 2.9691.36 kilos / 2.96 = 30.86 If you don't have a calculator handy or you don't feel like doing the math, just click here for a handy body mass index calculator http://www.caloriecontrol.org/bmi.html . So, if we judge my physical condition according to my BMI of 30.86, then I'm "obese" and I need to lose some weight. As you can tell from my photos, that's not the case. Even though I'm currently not in a pre-competition mode, my body fat is still in the single digits (9.3% last time I had it measured), which is considered very lean for men my age. |
