Disrespectful despite the accompanying hype. That kind of comment usually thrown out by a 200+ dude.

Masters degree...........awesome for him!! I don't think he ever broke into the 2 deep after he was moved to CB. Sadly it doesn't always work out for everyone.

That was a surprise to me last year at my physical when I saw on the screen I was labeled overweight (about 6'2, 205). Lopped off 20 pounds in 9 months. Hard work- but feels great.amercer said:
Well unless you are 6'4 or taller, 200lbs puts your BMI in the fatty zone. Not that I'm one to talk

BMI does not account for somatotype ...MouthBQ98 said:
Depends on how much muscle you have. I train pretty hard and have a clean diet and my body fat is around 10%. I'm 5'9" 164 or so, BMI normal. A back like TW might be my height but 210, with about the same body fat%. Just a LOT more muscle. BMI would show obese, which is ludicrous.

Ectomorph - Long, lean, or wiry... do not gain weight easily... Probably what you are
Endomorph - heavy, big-boned, higher body fat, gain weight easily...
Mesomorph - Muscular, stocky bone structure, ...Probably what TW is
BMI as a standalone measure is a farce, in my opinion.
Here's an abstract from a paper re: BMI and Somatotype:MouthBQ98 said:
I used to weigh 217, in a bad way. I'm closer to a mesomorph body type but missing 2 decades of muscle building excercise I've only recently been catching up on.
The odd thing is there are many calculators for BMI out there, and they have started including age in some of them. That appears to allow someone with a BMI of 27 to be considered a "normal, healthy" BMI. Like you, that's why I think it's an absurd measure.Quote:
Abstract
In a paper published in The Social Science Journal, Maddan et al. [Maddan, S., Walker, J. T., & Miller, J. M. (2008). Does size really matter? A reexamination of Sheldon's somatotypes and criminal behavior. The Social Sciences Journal, 45, 330344.] proposed that Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used as proxy for somatotype, a quantitative system for describing body build, in social science research. This paper tests this proposal using a sample of 200 males from an archival data set collected by Sheldon [Sheldon, W. H. (1942). The varieties of temperament: A psychology of constitutional differences (with S.S. Stevens). New York: Harper and Row Publishers.]. The data included somatotype data, height, and weight. BMI was calculated and individuals were assigned to the categories endomorph, mesomorph, and ectomorph based on the Maddan et al. BMI criteria. The BMI method was only able to correctly classify 110 individuals, 55% of the sample. This finding suggests that BMI is an inadequate proxy for somatotype.
