Height/Weight ......whatever question?
Im 19, im 6'4'' and roughly 220lbs, I ve created a workout routine for myself which I follow daily eg. 5 mile uphill run w/ machine weights and free weights and whatnot. I know my body fat is under 7% although BMI index calculators say its overweight, i Dont get it, are they accurate?? and also I know shorter ppl have the advantage to get bigger quicker, Ive just started working out last year for boxing and Im not totally sure if my weight goes with the height...???

- BMI calculators will only tell you how your height/weight compares to that of others. Muscle weighs more than fat. I don't know what sort of weight requirements are best for boxing, but you seem like you're healthy. I wouldn't worry about it.
- I don't worry about what the BMI index says. It doesn't take into account many factors, most importantly body fat percent. So you may be extremely muscular and have little bodyfat and it will still say you are overweight since it only factors in height and weight.
- Well, if you are at 7% body fat then you know very well you are not overweight. BMI is not accurate for very muscular people.
