psyx IceCreamMan wrote BMI slipped under 25 this morning..... First time this millennium.....will fix that with beer and big daddy garbage truck burger at mugg and bean later Well played man! Next target should be under 24 now! :? Weighed yesterday and I'm stuck at 23, not going up or down in more than a year...
warrenpridgeon BMI says I'm obese at 32.5. I gym 3x a week, play squash around 4-6 hours a week and have completed 3 warrior races (bettering the time every time). need to lose my belly tho...
Jayhell Eish, I'm dying of starvation or something; 18.5! But I know I am skinny as a rail and tall, I'm healthy (I think). Chicks dig it though ? Maybe I should remeasure myself.
Wizard They say that belly fat is the stuff that kills you. Horrible yellow "visceral fat" that is seriously bad for you. BMI is a rough & ready measure popular because of its ease of determination. But many healthy olympic athletes look bad on BMI due to their large muscle mass. Becoming more popular in medical science as a much more effective measure is waist to hip ratio.

Warren Well done EZ ? Out of interest, my BMI is 25.1 ("overweight"), pic below from the weekend's CrossFit open workout:
el-guapo Probably those fat legs and porky arms. ? ShreddySmurf wrote Well done EZ ? Out of interest, my BMI is 25.1 ("overweight"), pic below from the weekend's CrossFit open workout:
ezietsman Haha, yeah for muscular people BMI is an overestimate but for most people it is a fairly useful (rough) number. I'm trying to drop the excess fat so that I can run up and down mountains better. I don't lift any more, can't be bothered to go to a gym if I get to train in a Cape Town harbour or on a mountainside. Between dragon boating and mountain running I think I'm mostly covered.

Warren warrenpridgeon wrote What weight are you deadlifting there? It's only 105kg, those bumper plates make it look bigger than it is. It was part of a ladder set we did on Saturday, so this was a set of 20 reps at that weight. The weight increased by 20kg each time, with box jumps in between.

I thought you were lifting like 500kg or something...
Warren warrenpridgeon wrote Damn crossfit weights... lol... I thought you were lifting like 500kg or something... Nooooo ? My max lift is currently 160kg, slightly over twice body weight (I weigh 76kg atm). Hoping to get close to 190kg by year's end.

Nitebob No idea about BMI or Kg's but I went down 3 pants sizes and had to make 2 extra holes in my belt. Wouldn't really say I am dieting, but am taking the Tim Noakes approach (It helps to have a girlfriend in the meat industry) and started pilates due to lower back pain. Had to do something! Being an Ovation owner and having a belly, it's like I'm the worlds only standing lapsteel player! The fron of my guit is always facing me! :-[
