And if the definition of “obese” is drawn up for young athletic kids, especially runners, how will powerlifters ever get any surgery?
I knew a boxing instructor at Fort Huachuca that was always considered obese by the weight height chart, but I couldn't see any fat on him at all.
Nope, even now there are parts of “settled science” that are being updated or completely changed.

I doubt these new rules are intended for “overweight” powerlifters. However, if a powerlifter has a bad back, he MIGHT consider changing sports rather than back surgery.

Using the stupid BMI index, Arnold in his prime would have been considered ‘obese’ at 6’1” and 240 or thereabouts.
