Lot of talk about BMI. I don't quite get it really. I looked at a chart at my club yesterday and I saw that my weight should be between 140-190. I am 6'2". Not sure if I was reading the chart correctly? I didn't see a separate chart for women and men, but I suspect there may be. So what does this tell me? I should weigh between 140 and 190? What does that do for me? What if I was build like Dorian Yates? I would never be on the chart.
I don't want to upset anyone with this discussion. I seem to upset everyone here pretty easily. I suppose it is my personality. Sorry if I offend. I'll do my best to be as vague and nice as possible so not to disagree with anyone and just be a "yes" kind of guy.

Most likely, yes.

It tells you that on average, someone of your height of medium build should weigh in the 140 to 190 range to be at a healthy weight. It should give you a starting point on your goal weight and/or a sanity check (if your goal was 200 or 130 you may want to exam that goal).

You're going to be a yes man? I prefer it when you kick up some stuff 🙂 Entertainment!
