5’11 and 186 lbs is a 25.9 BMI, or “overweight.” If this hypothetical dude lost just 7 lbs down to 179, he’d be in the “normal” category.
But that isn't a fat content analysis. You could be incredibly in shape and jacked, and BMI will call you "overweight". Technically, i guess they are correct, but muscle is healthy mass, fat is not. BMI is a poor measure of health, IMO.

I dont think people who are over on BMI, but can see their ABs from working out hard are really worried about being overweight on the BMI chart

This isn't necessarily true. High weights dependent of muscle mass cause health problems.
