197 cm's (6'5")
104 kg's (229lb, 16.3 stones)

=

27.1 bmi

breakdown:
Quite a bit of muscle, a little too much fat. But 9 months ago I had a BMI of 31 and almost no muscle. So it's getting there :)

P.S... photo's of what?
would this do?

I got 28.0. Or overweight.
With a weight of 96kg.

But I'd disagree on being overweight. I love my contact sports and am always between 90 and 100 kg. I'm around 6'3 in height. (Despite being Australian I'm yet to meet someone who uses cm for height). :wink:

I'm also fairly broad of shoulders and have decent enough muscles. Well decent enough to move around twice my weight if needed. :D
But yeah, this test fails. Muscles weigh a decent amount more than the ol' adipose tissue. :lol:

I, Aussie. I use centimeters.

However, I suppose we have not met. But it is more common to use feet and inches, I agree.

Yeah. :D We're on opposite sides too. Me in the east (NSW), you in the west (WA).
Slightly offtopic I know, but just out of curiousity, though you said it's more common to use feet and inches there, are you guys the same in that you just use feet and inches for height and metric for everything else?

That's how it rolls locally. :wink:

altho I don't weigh the amount of kilo's you do, i can move (carry even) twice my weight aswell... I have always had normal sized muscles, but friend tell me they are stronger then steel... (lifted 2 friends of mine (weighing a total of 155 kilo's combined) and ran 100 meters with them on my shoulder)

yeah. If someone asks how tall someone is... it's feet and inches. I am constantly asking what that is in centimeters.

EVERYTHING else is in metric though. From "how long is a piece of string?" to "how far to the other side of nowhere?"

Only reason I know i am 6'5" is because I have: http://www.onlineconversion.com/interna ... riends.htm
