JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) OK. a poll given the weight and height thread. I think this can give us some good info and we can draw a graph afterwards to show the trends. Attached a pic of BMI ratings. Please read your BMI and pic an option from above. Social Rider does not compete in races.Social Racer competes but only to finish.Amateur Racer is the guy that races, but is amateur.Pro Racer is the chap that "competes for the podium". I am expecting a bell curve here with a spread of Pro's sitting low in BMI and social sitting high in BMI Pounds ( 1kg = 2.2 Pounds) and feet. 1 ft is 30.48cm and one inch is 2.54 cm Edited July 17, 2012 by JTK
Grondpad Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Is this pounds vs feet? And no option for social 20 to 24 (which I think the most will be in) Edited July 17, 2012 by Grondpad
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) yeah sorry. only nice pic I had.. Pounds ( 1kg = 2.2 Pounds) and feet. 1 ft is 30.48cm and one inch is 2.54 cm Edited July 17, 2012 by JTK
Ryan Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 19-14 in the poll should be 19-24 according to the table.
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 yeah. fixed. copy paste a typo and it will happen
Cyclewizz Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Where's the legend for the colours ?I'm in light green, does that mean I need help ???
Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Where's the legend for the colours ?I'm in light green, does that mean I need help ??? Worry when you get to orange! Think its Blue to Orange:UnderweightNormalOverweightObese Red = You have one foot in the grave!
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 I thought I would keep the red's out of the equasion... If we have on the forum then they have no need to be singled out above orange...
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 BMI is a joke as it does not consider bone density or muscle mass. Currently I'm at 27 and need to lose 20 pounds (9kg) to get to a "healthy" 24. How should person sitting at 10% body fat lose 9kg's to be considered healthy?

How should person sitting at 10% body fat lose 9kg's to be considered healthy? Couldnt agree more. BMI on its own is a useless measure.
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 I agree BMI is not accurate at all. I cant get to my ideal weight either. I look like I am from a concentration camp in the 2nd world war. However it is an indication of some sorts. Even if in this case it only serves to proove that it is not a correct measurement.
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 what if you weigh less than 120 pounds then I would like to take you for coffee
