The average man is now a bit of a fatty

[dcl0sc]

I'm 6' 2" and 19st 3lbs.... needless to say I'm on a diet...

However, I am big boned...!

 

[haway]

Just over 6ft 1, 15 st, 36 waist.

Could probably do with losing a stone or so.

 

[natinnam]

You must have weedy arms and legs.

Decent legs, do a fair bit of walking, cycling, the arms are nothing to write home about tbf

 

[mutley]

5 foot, 16 stone, waist 28.

Considering I'm supposed to be a fat twat, I'm sitting pretty at 6' 1", 16 clem, 34-36" waist and 44" chest.

That is borderline obese!

 

[TheWanderer]

That is borderline obese!

According to BMI index, which is an absolute load of shit.

Was a bit upset the other day when yoox described a 36" waist as XL. Was a bit of an eye opener.

• In 1967, the average British man was 5ft 7.5in tall and weighed 11st 8lbs

• Back then, Mr Average had a chest size of 38 inches and a waist of 34 inches

• Today he is 5ft 10in, weighs 13st 3lbs and has a chest of 43in and a 37in waist

If we had a population full of muscular bastards I'd agree.

Most people are fatties though so it's a decent indicator for the majority of the population.

BMI is complete bollocks mind, for the man who has no shoulders or hint of a muscle. A weakling basically.

5'10" 220lbs. I'm probably carrying 20lbs of extra fat to be fair.

I'm classed as overweight according to the BMI. I train 3/4 times a week, eat reasonably healthy and have cut out a fair about of drink.

If I was to get to the BMI weight I'd look like a skinny dying fucker.

BMI is a good indicator for about 99% of the population.

 

[ouro]

5ft 8.5in, 11st 8, 34inch waist.

If you're over thirty five and have less than a 34inch waist, you generally look like you've got Aids.

I'm 50, 32 inch waist, 42 inch chest, 12 stone 7, 5 foot 9. I don't look like I've got AIDS, I look nails.

It's not like. I'm classified as obese by BMI. It's laughable.

Reetio fat lad.

It's always the chunky bastards that have issues with BMI......



Seriously though, factor in waist circumference if you think it's muscle mass increasing your BMI. If it's above 37 inches you have increased risk of some illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. 40 inches + is a high risk.

BMI is generally fine indicator, just because it may not suit you doesn't mean it isn't fine for most people.

Fat ****.
