The system is very simple you take your height in cms, let's say 175 cm - 100 = 75 kgs (the maximum weight you may have), but the best situation is when your actual weight is less the the maximum for 1015 kgs.:)
The US weight charts do not refer to body builders who sometimes are wider than they're tall as a consequence of their muscle building routines.
Muscle is of course heavier than fat. and american people are on the average overweight with fat, not muscle.
Dale,
I think it's relevant to bring it up becasue, like Pitchka proved, I suspected that not all FSU women are the lean mean sexy machines that most of the east-west sites show.
Fortunately for us, there is much less of it there than in our ow nbackyards.
GT- and anyone else who is listening. Most of these statistis a based on the body mass index. This is the ratio of you wieght, hieght and you waist and hip measurement. I do not know the calculation but 25 or lower is healthy. Now, considering is goes on these factos, bodybuilders will always come in O.K. because, although they wiegh a lot, they have thin waist measurements as they have low body fat. Therefore these people are acounted for.
It must be an American thing again, thats how it works in Australia. Maybe someone in America want the world to think that they are the fattest on the planet
The AMA just wants everyone to stop smoking, turn in their guns, stay away from alternative medicine and get children to give information to their pediatrition about their parents.
Have one question...today on the radio they said that in the USA at schools, there is a special mark for the good figure. The ones with good and slim figures get good marks, and those who are not so lucky get bad ones. So this way they want to "fight" with a lot of fat people....so I wanted to ask, if it is a true or not???:)
I never heard that one but maybe what they were trying to say is that girls with better figures tend to get better grades. It is also a fact here that taller people tend to make more money than shorter people. Statistics prove that.
