An extremem example would be the majority of professional athletes. Almost all of them have highly inflated BMI's due to the fact that thier training increases thier muscle mass and bone density to something way in excess of the average person.
BMI is a measure of averageness and we are not all average.
Have a look at a sliding scale for BMI, the weight range to be within 25 is quiet large. For example a 5ft 11 man has a 3 stone range before they are even overweight.
It sounds like you are looking for excuses for letting yourself go and when you started talking about big bones!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

one in your hands/feet/etc. As the bone compacts the structure of the bone becomes more like stone than bone and this is how high level martial artists can perform these seemingly impossible feats of power (technique also plays a huge part, as well so don't think it is just compacted bone).Comment

OK all you big BMIers check out your bioelectrical impedance, there is no way that can be subjective.
Then you will find out if the high BMI is from packed muscle and bone density or Jelly Belly syndromeThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Fat % is an interesting one. I worked with a bloke who prided himself on the fact that he weighed the same at 40 as he had done at 18 and kept going on about it ... so Mr WA went to gym with him one day and got him onto the fat monitor scales in and he came in at 37% fat which is quite scary - to look at him he just looked thin but out of condition - saggy and a bit lose at the seams. So, convinced we were wrong, he trooped off to the Doctor's who told him that he was a lardy git and needed to get it sorted, even though his BMI was well under obese limits. He was a small framed bloke carrying a good deal of fat which didn't look too bad overall but was actually a danger to his health.
We have fat monitor scales at home, I chuffin' hate 'em.Comment

Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
