If (and that is a big if. Most people severely underestimate their body fat levels. And with some touting 3% dexa scan results, even such measurements are suspect) you really were at a bmi of 29 (which, BTW, doesn't count as 30+ from my original statement ), then congrats on your amazing genetics and work ethic.

Still, to break that bmi 30 barrier significantly, while maintaining the same level of leanness, you'd likely require some additional 'help'.

And again - it is possible for a number of gifted people, just highly unlikely. Most males can't get that jacked no matter how much and how hard they train. I'd say that even with PEDs most wouldn't break that barrier while staying lean.

My personal best was a 28 bmi with what looked like a 9% body fat, veins fully visible at the lower abs and the hips etc, and it was absolutely unsustainable for more than a year, for a plethora of reasons. Can't even imagine gaining 3 more points.

To reiterate: I'd still focus on a BMI to gauge the public health - the genetic outliers are rare
