The model disregards ridiculous outliers like world class bodybuilders in order to be simple and useful for the other 99.999% of society.

According to BMI I spent years "obese" and am now "overweight" bordering on obese.

I'm about 16-18% body fat. I'm definitely muscular, but hardly in the .0001%. If I'm wearing a shirt, you can't really tell that I lift.

Hardly world class.
