Computer? Only time we had that was for about a week when dad would bring one home from school over christmas break
, and at that each of us kid was allowed to play Oregon Trail ONCE per day.
Cell phone? Yeah right.

I'm assuming you're going off of BMI for that bodyweight calculation?

BMI is bullshit/a joke if you have any kind of muscle mass. You can get someone who falls within that "ideal" range yet clearly has unwanted bodyfat/a gut while someone falls above it yet has 6% bodyfat, a ton of muscle mass and is classified as technically "obese." It's bullshit.

I'm about the same size as him (minus the diabetes) and if my bodyweight goes much lower I'll look like an emanciated distance runner.

BMI isn't perfect, but its the best we have. Go spew your cliched knowledge somewhere else.

I forgot I was talking to the "champion/defender of BMI." :rolleyes: Everyone except you seems to know it has MAJOR flaws. It was valid at a time when people didn't train with weights.

I was just going off the formula of 106 multiply by six for each additional inch over five feet. So if he's six feet or whatever, that's 12 inches (x6) = 72 + 106 = 178lbs...putting him roughly 50lbs overweight. But I agree, it does not do justice to those who have ever picked up a dumbbell.

I had a buddy apply to the OSHP, and he is a 6'3" 330lber that was competing in Strongman competitions at the time. They told him he'd have to get down to his ideal body weight of 199lb's before he could be considered. Lol....he would be a sickly looking individual at 199lbs.
