Numbers confirmed, actually over confirmed. The writers apparently made adjustments in the background to account for differences in population sizes, but the final paper only contains the adjusted estimates. So these are not perfect. However, working backwards. 58.5% of Men are too heavy (overweight or obese by BMI), 77.7%…

Yes. Obese does fall. However, "overweight" increases by a greater amount that "Obese" falls. This leads to the conclusion that a greater number of both overweight and ideal weight people by BMI are in fact "overweight" by BF%. There is nothing here to suggest that the ideal weight/overweight boundary is as erroneous or…

Hopefully my parting thought in this thread unless somebody drags me back in with some nonsense. This paper addresses something that isn't talked about enough, and it often used inadvertently as an excuse. Somebody who is obese, particularly somebody who's been obese for a significant amount of time, will have a much…

I wonder if the fact that the only age groups for which BF% seems to be more permissive than BMI for both genders is "middle age" (40-70) contributes to why so many people here in particular think BMI shouldn't apply. An interesting observation to be sure.
-
I'm not saying this is not true, it is obviously true. What I am pointing out is that 1. the paper does not contain the relevant data to know how many people meet this criteria 2. given that the number of ideal weight people falls, in some cases considerably, when moving from BMI to BF% it is quite reasonable to assume…
-
f-it, heres for men and women, the whole table 4, with Ideal Weight percentages calculated. BMI is more forgiving than BF% for both men and women for the majority of age groups
-
for the n+1-th time. miscategorizing "overweight" vs "obese" is STILL NOT A HEALTHY WEIGHT. Still not healthy weight The claim was made that more than 20% of people think they're not healthy weight, when they are, or visa versa. The data in THIS PAPER does not back up that hypothesis. It doesn't come close. It only…
-
because I have nothing better to do apparently. I went ahead and calculated the percent of people in "ideal weight" under each category more men. Please notice that for most age groups far FEWER people are categorized as "ideal weight" under BF% than under BMI, meaning BMI is too generous. Which is what the paper argued.
-
nope. it does not. It shows the number of people in non-ideal weight categories under both methods. It says absolutely nothing about which of those people were miscategorized. It only shows the differences in how many people are in each method, it doesn't show which direction the miscategorized people fell. It also doesn't…

Let's tie a bow on this. The paper being used to attack BMI as being too "mean" to lean people, shows no such thing. In fact, from the authors' own conclusions 1. In young males (the group most likely to think they're "too muscular for BMI" they found that BMI significantly under estimated fat. That BMI was in fact too…
-
what the actual *kitten*. You're literally quoting things that refute what you say. so 37.4% of men and 26.1% of women were in the wrong category. fact. reasonable. WHAT YOU ARE MISSING Only 1.3% of men and 0.2% of women are in a category OTHER than the one immediately higher or lower than the one predicted by BMI. The…
-
but if you didn't hurt, how would you know that your workout was hard enough to be effective? Personally, I know that if I don't feel sore, I need to add additional movements or raise the weights more than expected.
-
and you get it wrong AGAIN. For some reason you're assuming that the %of people not "obese" are "healthy weight." But that' snot supported by their methodology. As the first part of your quote says, 99.8% of women are correct within 1 category. Meaning the vast, vast, VAST majority of those incorrectly categorized as…
-
lol wut and what about the people who believe they are only "overweight" when infact they're obese and need to lose a lot more than they think? the people who, btw, greatly outnumber your choice group, according to your cherry picked study.
-
Additionally, this study argues EXACTLY the opposite of the point you people are trying to make. It finds that BMI actually pretty significantly UNDERESTIMATES the number of obese people compared to BF%.
-
no. study only supports that 20% of people who are overweight or obese are the opposite under the other measure. It doesn't support that anybody who is overweight or obese under either measure is actually normal weight under the other. That data is not contained in this study, which does not deal with normal weight people…

Still holding at about 25 pounds every 3 months. Beginning Weight - May 28, 2017 - 275 T-minus 3 months - Aug 13, 2017 - 258.3 Today - Nov. 13, 2017 - 233.2
-
This study deals ONLY with the overweight/obese boundary, and finds that people around that boundary are possibly on opposite sides depending on the measure. This seems entirely reasonable and expected. It doesn't deal with people falling in the "normal weight" category under either measure, at all. The study simply…

If you use the UA Record app there's a CrossFit setting. That said, CrossFit WODs are so varied that it's not particularly reliable to bucket them as a single type. I'm not burning the same calories doing Murph as I am doing 7 1-rep-max deadlifts.
-
nope and nope. First, you absolutely can't say that with any certainty. You say that from your gut, because it SEEMS that way to you. But I challenge you to find a study that supports either of those suppositions. You can "believe" them if you chose to. But there is a high probability that you are wrong on both counts.

There is literally no possible scenario where it is justifiable that a teacher make sexually suggestive remarks, gestures, noises, or anything toward a young student. None. It really doesn’t make a lick of difference how the student feels about it. It is unequivocally disgusting and the creep shouldn’t have been allowed…

11/10 Workout - Active rest day 3000m rower / 14:51 15 minutes of random movement
-
Today is an active rest day for me. I had physical therapy this morning, mostly hip flexor exercises plus stim and deep-tissue massage. Later I think I’ll go hop on the rower and do 2000 or 3000m depending on how I feel.

I like adding some PB2 peanut butter powder. It thickens up the shake, which is especially nice if you make your shakes with water instead of milk.

Still creepy, also regressive and misogynist as hell
