Nice. Now I can go back to my regularly scheduled program of arguing with doctors. Sweet.
I switched the way I was thinking about BMI to the current versions by the whole weight with muscle mass. Sounded like a solid argument that made sense so I ran with it.
well it makes sense that your heart would have to work harder or just as hard to supply blood flow but for reasons i cant understand, the studies show the opposite.

Now saying there is no evidence or study doesn’t mean not true. Maybe there just hasn’t been a study to show an excess amount of muscle to make the BMI go to overweight category causes decreased heart efficiency. Same time though, a year or two lost from muscle weight but added 5 years from exercising is still a positive of 3 years.
absolutely

I’ve been reading that muscle mass is a better indicator than BMI. Don’t know if that’s just exercising helps and muscle is a by-product or that the muscle itself helps.
overall it is, but as explained above, so few people lift that very very few skew results. its why things like being able to do 5 pullups are so good of indicators of all cause mortality.

Are there any studies about optimal amount of muscle mass and BF% by age/height?
