Cross Training Questions
How do you calculate the BMI for a cross-trainer or body-builder?
Never got an answer to this before, today it seems to be of more interest. A man with built-up muscles in his arms, shoulders, chest and legs who calculates his BMI will find that he is profoundly fat, maybe even obese. How can a cross-trainer (let alone a body-builder) make use of the BMI with his physically ambitious lifestyle taken into account? Is there a formula of some sort that gym bunnies and (whatever guys at the gym are called) can use that factors in the increased weight of muscle?

- No. BMI simply measures the ratio of your body's mass to it's height. people who are big and muscular will always have a big BMI.(body mass index)
- I don't think the BMI would benifit someone like you. I think you just need to get your body fat percentage checked.
