Eye test is more accurate than BMI. Any blind measurement intended to identify fat-assedness that is identical between males and females shouldn’t be trusted.

You might have somewhat of a point 40 years ago. Now that we have quotas to fill between non white and non male candidates...you're lucky to get somebody who's worth a shite. Fat or not.

And if he's saying 225 online, that really means 245 in real life.

He’s also a world class elite athlete. Why don’t you use something MUCH more attainable like your average guy that does cross fit or regularly lifts weight at the gym. Both would be accurate, and both wouldn’t require you to use someone that received a damn P-5 football scholarship

It’s just an example, why does it fricking matter which one I choose? He was just a random person that other people would recognize that proves how stupid BMI is.

Why not they do drug testing and other stuff. Fat arse can’t fit in his cubical or exceeds the weight limit of the chair.

Will a BMI uncover something that your eyes can’t see?
