The average man is now a bit of a fatty

[James]

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

It is. If you're hammering the gym or have a special reason for being outside of the average then aye, it's not that good of an indicator. But for the vast majority of people it's a good gauge.

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

Fatty?

Correct.

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

If you write home more they'll get bigger.

28 inch.... his trousers must fight his ankles

I was 28 back in the day.. then 30.. then 32... then 34

aim to get back to a 32 or a very loose 34

I lift weights but I'm not exactly Arnold. Not enough to take me out of the "99%" of the population.

Edit: 34" waist.

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 ****.

I'm a 33 inch waist, certainly below the average of 37!

 

[The Legendary Tongue]

Waist or height?

Girth.

[Haway 501]

My waist is ok, it's the belly that protrudes over the top of my trousers that is the problem

You have an irregular body type, either through a high amount of muscle or an adamantium skeleton.

Your waist inst okay then, we wear trousers on our hips, not our waist.

 

[dangermows]

You're not very wide, get some puddings down you.

No, it's mocking fatties.
