In looking for more information about the BMI of bodybuilders, I found a great site: http://www.true-natural-bodybuilding.com/bmi-bodybuilders.html created by Jos TN of True-Natural-Bodybuilding.com. Jos has done a great deal of work tracking the history of body builders since the 1950's. I highly recommend that you visit his website for more information.
I would like to point out that Jos charted the BMI of body builders over time and there is an interesting trend. Take a look and make your own conclusion.
Notice the trend? The BMI of body builders has increased substantially. Jay Cultler, four time winner of IPBB Mr. Olympia, has a BMI of 40.5 at a weight of 273. http://www.jaycutler.com/bio.php Of course, Jay has enormous muscles which account for the weight. But I thought the trend of all body builders over time was very interesting. Jos has tracked many of the past competitors to create the chart.
What do you think?
