I dont know where they are getting those ridiculous numbers.
Mine claims that I should be lighter than when I wrestled in high school and about 30lbs lighter than what the military expected. Of the weights they give as correct one is not only 30lbs lighter than what I wrestled, no I wasnt the chubby kid that just showed up, but there was no one on the team, not even that skinny spaghetti kid, that was making those weights without going to extreme ends at that height.
They are ridiculous, aren’t they? At 170 - 175, I’d be where I was in high school, too. I didn’t wrestle, but worked out a lot. The weird thing is multiple “researchers” have developed similar models that deliver similar results. How can they say for certain that those numbers are optimal?
But the medical establishment wouldn’t lie to us. Right?
