BMI is not a very good way to measure heavily muscled, high performance athletes. I can speak from personal experience. At 6′2″ and 206 lbs, and 45 years old, I ran a 5:10 1500M and a 21:02 5k (not great, but not awful, either). I long jumped 18′ and bench pressed 275 and could dunk a basketball. By the BMI, some flabby 180 pounder was somehow more fit than I. Bull.
