A-Rod's listed bio has him at a 28.5. It wouldn't take much to push him over 30.

BMI is a good tool for populations but bad as an indicator for individuals.

        You're transcribing him incorrectly. His post in full: - Reagen Nov 30, 09:48 4

        It's perfectly sensible. 30 is a high number, ***unless*** you're a bodybuilder or athlete. -- nm - Reagen Nov 30, 09:52
        
        and if you change "high" to a word like "stringent", then it kind of makes more sense -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 09:50 1
        
        that would change the meaning. 30 isn't stringent. 25+ (the BMI definition of overweight) would be stringent. -- nm - Reagen Nov 30, 09:51
