JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 So you saying I'm overweight ?? :cursing: nope, broad shouldered and big boned...
Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 so... no pro's yet? How many pro's do you reckon is on here? Why not rather split the amateurs between those 1) serious about improving PB's and and amateur racers (A&B groupies)???
Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Let's call it Amateur racers = Groups G-Z and Amateur Pro's groups A-F! hehe! Edited July 17, 2012 by Androni Giocattoli
RockCoach 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? Exactly. Even when I had very low body fat, the BMI scale still reckoned I was overweight.
Peter Parker Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 where do you fit in, if you really want to be on the podium but you fat ass and wobbly legs hold you back. is that like a Social Pro racer. JTK 1
peerie Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Metric BMI calculator for the lazy ones: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm
JTK Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) To give an idea of BMI. We have an onsite sister doing yearly medicals on all the staff. She is probably running a BMI of 19 or less. mid 40's with a very athletic build. Does endurance running. Anyways. I am 1.77 and was way over 100kg's at one stage. At one of my checkups she said that yes I should loose weight but she is not too worried about my weight as I am very muscular. Go figure... She is pretty happy about my current 87 though which is going to stop at around 80 if I have my way BMI recons I am fat I am slgihtly yeah but can never get to my ideal weight. Just not enough fat to get there. Edited July 17, 2012 by JTK
JTK Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 any more votes here please? 66 is not really an effective mechanism...
jcmeyerSS Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Not a big believer in BMI, cause as a former rugby player it does not take "muscle mass" into account. (not that I have a high BMI for that reason) haha.Well I fall into the 29+ BMI catagory. But there is no slowpoke catagory. Edited July 18, 2012 by jcmeyerSS
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 well I fall on the edge of the "ideal" BMI. 19.2. and social racer. would be interesting to break up the 19-24 into 19-21 and 21-24 to see how many real skinnies there are! Mike
Cyclewizz Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Looking at the results / votes many hubbers have small bones & narrow shoulders. This is going to be a tough season :nuke:
