I deal with BMI because of the IDF and routinely flunk.

I have about a 7% bodyfat and can deadlift north of 405 easily. I do a 7 minute mile as a warm up.

It’s completely stupid and based on 1970s science that we should all be stick people gay marathon runners.

“It’s completely stupid and based on 1970s science that we should all be stick people gay marathon runners.”

It was actually invented in 1830 by Adolphe Quételet from Brussels, Belgium.

The purpose of this “invention” had nothing to do with health. It was another attempt to predict human social/criminal potential. In other words, nothing more than another version of Phrenology.

There is no science behind BMI. All who use BMI in the medical and insurance industries are perpetrating and furthering KNOWN fraud.
