Well why don't you enlighten us, and give us your thoughts on "fat acceptance"?

Ill give you mine.

The ot likes to point to NFL RBs or WR or Safeties, yet only 9% of US adults perform ANY kind of resistance training. I have been to gyms, maybe and I mean maybe 25% train with any consistency and intensity to build any appreciable amount of muscle. So we have a BMI which works for 97%+ of the population, yet have guys getting on here every time, like you, claiming it is antiquated. That is fat acceptance.

We have guys getting on here that are 6'1 205 claiming they would look like a skeleton if they got to 195. Yet even if they were a natural bodybuilder, that had maxed out their potential for building lean muscle....they would still be between 15-20% bf at the weight the BMI states....that is fat acceptance.

2 weeks ago we had an OTer that said he was 6' 250+ and was shocked to find out he qualified for the shot...because he was obese. Said it was bullshite because obese is his neighbor who is 6' 350+ lbs. That is fat acceptance.

fat acceptance isnt the extreme morbidly obese, its the guy that is 20-40 lbs overweight that hasnt lifted weights in 20+ years that claims he would look like a skeleton if he followed BMI.....that is the biggest part of fat acceptance.
