Well, I am 69", 210, and wear a 34 waist in most jeans and slacks.

Haha, body fat is bound to bring up some awesome OT replies. Half the board is going to be below the median body fat of NBA rookies who were tested last week.

True. After thinking about it I would say a combination of: body fat, ht/wt, and physical endurance is a better measurement of total fitness.


The body fat measurement alone would eliminate most people from good total fitness.

I think if you went with under 15 percent body fat (or maybe even 18), you would still keep most people qualified.

I was just saying that you would have a bunch of people claiming to be 7-8 percent in a thread here

7 months ago, my answer would have been very different. My waist was almost 37 inches.

I'm above height, above weight, below waist. How does that even work?

People are still substituting pant size for waist size. 39.7 inch waist probably equals 36/37 pant size.

My waist is 37/38 but my pants are 34/35 depending on brand.

Or that we workout and have wider hips than our waist?
