  1. 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.
    If I weighed under 140 it says I would be underweight. I wouldn't be
    underweight, I would be dead.

    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, but this BMI thing has me confused.

    just be yourself; state YOUR opinions as honestly and courteously as
    possible and who can resist your charm?
