He said he didn't know any athletes under 200 lbs. Which doesn't make any sense in track and field (which was my sport and extremely popular among West Indians). Especially at the collegiate level where most track athletes have not put on that much muscle mass.
That would make sense for a free safety in CFB. But sprinters over 200 lbs in college is the exception, not the rule. It's like saying you were a college basketball player and didn't know a single athlete over 6'.

Weight is an even bigger hindrance once you get to the 400m. The ideal weight is more in the 170-175 lb range for that event.

I should have said former athletes.
Our distance runners were all from Kenya and I haven't kept in contact with them. I was friends with a few jumpers, but sprinters didn't really hangout with jumpers, throwers, or distance runners while in school. We were teammates, but we didn't practice together unless they were part of the relay pool so we didn't see each other during practice that much.
I see. Well, that's not the same as saying knowing no one under 200 pounds, so that was confusing. The heavy caveats being said after the fact about former athletes that still work out, etc. seems like it just makes the original statement plain wrong.
Anyhow, didn't have much input on this, just wondering what the arguing was. Stay slim everyone! It's probably healthier. Probably.

The biggest difference in BMI from my observation is the butt. If you have a big butt as a male or female with an athletic build, you’re going to weigh more. If you’re skinny with a small butt for those that are short or tall, they are going to weigh less. That is really why I said BMI is not made for Black people. I’m one of those athletes with a big butt based on genetics and my body frame aligns with that.
There are plenty of Black men and women that are fit and athletic without a big butt, but those aren’t the people I was referring to in my original statement.
Last I checked, Bria Myles and Nia Long were black women.
My point is that despite all the "LA doesn't have many Black people" talk on here, it sure seems to generate a disproportionate number of attractive Black women. It also attracts a disproportionate number of attractive Black women from around the world.
Attractive Black women in Los Angeles would be considered "dimes" anywhere else. The best-looking women in other cities--and I am talking about the ones who are extraordinarily good-looking--usually wind up there or in NY at some point anyway.
I'm not disputing, but there's more to this. Let's assume for the hell of it, 20% of models in LA and Atlanta come from Philly. This means that Philly naturally has some of the most attractive women in the country organically, and given OP's age range, the women in the younger age group (21-24) are typically in college and/or doing low-paying jobs and are usually unable to move, which means that Philly still has a huge share of straight dimes still in the city. Producing 1/5 of the finest chicks has to account for something, that's top 5 status right there.

Well, that's not happening for one. Just go to IMDB and filter by birthplace. I understand that birthplace and hometown aren't necessarily the same, but there's no filter for hometown so you have to start somewhere. Chicago has produced some stunners that aren't even known for any major roles.

Americans in 2024 are not genetically different from Americans 40 years ago. What's changed mostly is diet.
People also didn't workout in 1971 like they do in 2024. We are built very differently now than they were and muscle weighs more than fat. That is the point I have been making. I don't think BMI takes muscle into account. Go through IG and look at all the fitness influencers. Most of them are considered overweight if they are muscular based on BMI. Look at NFL players. Are the receivers, safeties, and corners overweight too?
Odell Beckham is 5'11 and weighs 198. His BMI is 27.6 which is overweight.

I don't think it's arguable to consider professional American football players as healthy. They're competitive and skilled, but the kind of form they work towards they have is maybe under the umbrella of occupational hazard.
