I’m with you. I’m 6’3” and 274 lbs this morning. I bench press 495, ride a couple hundred miles per week on my bike and eat no carbs or wheat products. Yet, I’m morbidly obese according to the BMI charts. Go figure!?!?!

I read an article last week that indicated that waist / height ratio is a more effective gauge of proper weight than the dumb BMI. It indicated that your waist should be no more than 50% of you height. Makes sense to me, and is quite generous in the proportions - IMO.

Leg night tonight. Warm up squats started at 285... Stopped at 425. Still working through a bad knee...

Did do another 100 broomhandle squats, curls, toe-raisers, leg-extensions, and lunges. Always hard to make it up the stairs after a good session. ;-)
