Yay, I’m a tiny sliver!
Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index

Replacing BMI with BMI2 is fine, but it’s doesn’t change the fact that most Americans are overweight or obese, and the tiny, tiny sliver of people who have a high BMI from weightlifting are insignificant relative to the ~70% that are just plain fat

Help me out here. What’s BMI2 - searching gives me computer related stuff and running “BMI weight” just gives old BMI stuff.

They’re just calling this new thing BMI2 as shorthand
