Yeah BMI doesn't always work.

Sometimes you can get short people who are carrying lots of muscle and their BMI is off. I know a guy like this, he's never juiced a day in his life and is ripped as hell but his BMI says he is obese, which is laughable if you look at him.

BMI doesn't work for people who workout. But it does work for the average person since the vast majority of people do not work out.
