I lost one of my best workers in the Navy over that. The guy was a weight lifter and only had about 2% body fat but because his neck was huge (muscles – many muscles!) and his waist was trim that bmi stuff said he was way overweight and the Navy discharged him…. rather dumb.. He immediately tried out for the Jacksonville Football team and made it. The guy bench pressed about 500 lbs…. fat he was NOT.
