I grew up in gymnastics. The more muscle we developed the more our coaches told us we needed to drop weight because our BMI was high. It wasn’t until my college coach took the time to measure body fat percentage (underwater weighing) that I realized what total bunk BMI is.

Wrestlers have the opposite issue, trying to lose too much weight. Our coaches were good with the calipers and they’d tell us not to lose any more.
