Curious about BMI?

[LucyGorken123]

[FONT=&quot]I was wondering about my BMI. My BMI is 28 which is overweight, which I am, so it is accurate there. My body fat percentage was coincidentally also measured as 28%. The thing is, although i know i have more fat than the average person,I also think i have alot more muscle than the average person (although I am not sure). What I am wondering is: is there a way of knowing my percentage of muscle? maybe from these calculations. Do people with a BMI of 28 normally have this amount of body fat percentage?[/FONT]

It's maths. If you weighed 400lbs you'd have more muscle than an average person cos they're not that heavy. But if over 1/4 of you is fat I doubt the PERCENTAGE is different.

BMI is yet another bullshit number put out there by cookie cutters. of course as weight lifters we have muscle mass which will bump that number up.

you want to measure body fat ? then simply post a pic and i am pretty damn good at giving you a good guestimate of your body fat %

You can post a pic or buy callipers that will be the best way.

Most BMI calculations are pretty off. Dexa scans can give you an assessment of everything
