To be fair BMI is not perfect. All your gym rats get lumped in Obese for example.
Not really. To get to obese by gaining muscle mass one would most certainly have to use certain illegal drugs.
- Evgeny 10y agoSomeone cared to downvote. So I made a random Google search and came up with this guy, who is 5'8 and 210 pounds in contest state http://www.bodybuilding.com/author/john-hansen http://www.bodybuilding.com/author/john-hansen Which puts him at 31 BMI, so just barely in the obese category. And this guy is clearly not your average "gym rat", he's a winner of Natural Mr. Universe, so he'll be somewhere on the very edge of the Bell curve. 99.9% gym rats will never be close in terms of lean body mass. So if they are "lumped in obese", then they truly have a lot of fat to lose.
