    Frame size definitely matters. Mike Tyson (in his prime) was 5'10" 220lbs. But he was solid.

    Many 5'10" guys with smaller frames would be fat at 220 lbs.

    Absolutely. I'm 5'1" and typical bmi charts put me in a healthy weight range of 97-118lbs. I haven't weighed that since like 6th grade lol. Since becoming an adult my lowest weight was around 122. Once I figured out that I have a large frame I discovered mt healthy weight range is actually 125-140. Makes sense!!!


    We're buddies! I wasnt even in the 118 range in middle school I think my lowest weight was 125 and that's when i had a growth spurt lol! I can honestly say I looked like a twig at that weight. I was really really skinny, I'm not sure it's possible since i'm a developed adult now :)

    Yes, frame size does matter. Which is why there is a range for BMI.

    If you really want to know, get a water volume displacement test. That will tell you for certain, but the BMI range covers pretty much every situation, outside of extreme athletes.
