This is why I hate arguing about BMI. (Pics inside).

So my friend's wife sadly does not share our hatred for the lard golems, and constantly invites this out in public with us. This photo made me think of the post earlier about the frugal obeast looking for a chair, because this one is struggling. Anyway, when I'm around this thing not only do I have to deal with it being there, I then have to hear his favorite joke: BMI.

I stand just over 6'3" and weigh 270lbs. Here I am in a post I did on my main account for malefashionadvice, or here is one from when I ended my bulk, in that photo I'm probably over the 300 mark, but lifting some serious weight. Lastly, only a few months out from my goal.

So yeah. My BMI this morning puts me at 35. I am obese according to that chart. But this mobile sack of bacon grease constantly asks why/how I can give him fitness tips when my BMI puts me in the obese range as well.

Damn dude, you're just a plain old beast. It's a shame fat dudes at your same height and weight think they have your same level of lean mass under all their "cushion".

Yeah, I just think you have to have a disorder for a guy like that to look at himself and then look at me (not to sound too cocky)... and think yeah we are equivalent in terms of health.

Ugh. Is he really so delusional that he can't see the different between you two? That he's a sack of shit and you're a beast? That's so infuriating. (Also your selfies are eyebleach, gaht damn)

94
FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Yep, he's totally delusional. When I posted this pic of one of my tattoos that finished healing he responded by saying he would look really good, and wanted, a chest tattoo but couldn't because his skin was too dark.

48
CurvyShitladyVerified Shitlord•

Uunnnggghhh I was gonna comment on how obviously terrible a chest (tit) tattoo would look on him, but that involved trying to picture him shirtless and I'm just not ready for that today

I could probably find one... he was at a lake party I went to. I'll save it for sometime to ruin someone's day.

BMI is bullshit when you're swole but I'm sure you know that.

the reason you are entitled to give him fitness is tips is simple:

you can see your dick and he can't.

FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Yeah, I wish I could be a little meaner to him in public but I really like my friend and I don't want to piss off his wife. When this guy was like 60 pounds heavier than this he had to wear one of those apnea sleep masks and then when he got up he had to use a fucking oxygen tank.

So I literally saw this guy eating syrup covered chocolate-chip pancakes, by lifting the mask off, shoving it in his gullet, and then putting the mask back on while he chewed.

That is one of the most pathetic things I've seen on this sub to date...and that's saying something. I would have to leave the room if I witnessed that.

FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Yep, I couldn't eat anymore. I was damn hungry because it was at this lake party thing and I'd been out on the water all day before, but I just got up and left. I don't see how people can see any difference between what he was doing and when you see a smoker putting a cigarette in their trach hole.

FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

I think that's why he had to lose some weight, he got to the point where he couldn't walk without a cane or something. I didn't see him when he was at his biggest, but this was big enough.

SetVolumeToNigga•

whoa, I remember you from MFA. You also posted here earlier and people jumped on you about your BMI using Arnold Schwarzenegger as a reference, right? An inch taller than arnold, 10 lbs heavier than arnold on a bulk, maybe 15-20 percent bodyfat - fit guy with a 35 BMI delivers.

44
FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Yes, I most likely did reference Arnold. I have a minor (okay, major) obsession with him. I think his training principles in all aspects are essentially gospel. Lift hard, lift heavy, lift often; nothing too fancy about it. I legitimately believe that at my peak I could have out-lifted him strength wise on a few lifts, but I don't know if I'll ever be as aesthetic. I can get pretty low BF% when I cut hard, but I just hate the last few weeks of it where you feel like death and you're adjusting your water intake and everything down to the last drop.

35
Blitzer19SPC shitlord•

Nothing wrong with going full homo on Arnold in his prime.

34
FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Yeah, I think Ronnie is obviously a beast, but he doesn't even look human to me. I'd take Arnie or ol' Frank Zane any day.

feefeetheburn•

I just started lifting last week. I'm average. 5'9" at 158 lbs. Do you have any 'before' pics? How long did it take you to get so ripped?

7
FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

I've actually always been really big. I grew up on a farm doing heavy labor and started lifting seriously around the age of 13. By the time I was 18 I set a local record for bench press at 425 lbs.

This was me at 18 with the girl I ended up marrying. Although we never dated until our late 20s.

This is a few months later when i decided I wanted to try bodybuilding.

You'll notice I'm wearing the same tank top as in one the pics above, Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson gave it to me when I took a trip to muscle beach to see the original Gold's Gym. Got his autograph telling me to stay huge and he bought me a shirt. One of the nicest guys I've ever met.

chawat37Verified Shitlord•

Serious question, when you go to the doctor's office do they comment about your weight? My last doctor told me I was "overweight" and gave me a sheet on healthy eating... I was 6', about 190lbs with maybe about 18% body fat which technically put me in the "overweight" category as far as BMI is concerned, but I told her I ran twice a week and lifted heavy 3x/week, so... I'm not really sure what she was thinking.

FupaTroopahTriggerkin.•

I'd get a new doctor if they can't tell the difference between fit and fat.

chawat37Verified Shitlord•

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that she was already overworked and didn't spend much time with me, it was mostly her nurse or PA or something (it was just a physical, I could have done that myself), but I haven't been back since.

FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

Thanks! I think it only counts if you like big, beardy, and tattooed. I went on a date from like match.com or something right after I got back from the Navy and didn't know anyone, and the girl told me I was literally too big and it made her feel intimidated. Gave me a really weird complex for a few weeks.

In her defense, I've felt that way before... but I'm 5'1 and under 100 pounds so it's just weird to me, knowing someone could snap me in half if they wanted to.

too big and it made her feel intimidated.

I feel you man, I was bullied and picked on a lot growing up so when puberty hit me, I hit the weights. 5' 10"- 200lbs but with the confidence of a whimp and awkward as a turtle on his back, it constantly surprises me when people say they are intimidated by me.

Challenge him to arm wrestle. Take him to the gym once, ask him to perform at even 1/2 what you're doing. Let him struggle and fail, and tell him "This is why I'm better than you."

I tried the gym invite. He said no, he has his own "trainer" and his own "plan" and he doesn't want to ruin his "progress."

I love how he thinks working out more will "ruin progress", unless he's going for peak weight

You can clearly see all the weight is held in those little pockets of fat on his arms. He really is obese, he just shaped the fat to look like muscle. Fat privilege is being able to sculpt your body like clay.

oh fuck, and im here starting out and wanting to ever achieve 25bmi while being lean. mirring hard bro

10
FratrickBatemanOPSwole Shitbeast•

You'll get there. The thing is, don't overthink it. That's why, as I mentioned elsewhere here, just keep it simple. Lift heavy and hard, and eat clean. Don't get obsessed with trying to perfectly cycle a bulk and cut phase. I think people try to get way too specific with fine-tuning their training and diets and it makes it over-complicated. There was just a fantastic write-up about it on r/fitness last week. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: this one

12
ihelliosVerified Shitlord•

yeh i read that write-up, very nice read indeed. i've just been bulking since i started about 4.5 months ago and gained about 7 kgs already. went from a skinny 59.5kg to 66.5kgs and almost no fat gain. i'll get there in time, it'll just be slow and steady just like i want it to be (naturel)

You look fantastic!
This is why I wish it was easier for everyone to get an accurate body fat percentage reading. Thetes be no hiding behind "well we both have a BMI of 35!" when you are 10% and he's 35%. It would certainly shut up all those goddam Hamblrinas who claim that at 5'2" and 190 lbs they are just like a slightly curvier version of Madonna. However, based on a post I saw here earlier, they'd probably just claim that their bodyfat % would only be 20% if it wasn't for their awesome huge boobs (=flabby pancakes).
