Does BMI work well for strength athletes?
It can overstate fatness in people with high muscularity because it counts all mass alike.
When should I measure weight?
Use similar conditions each time, such as morning after using the restroom, to improve trend consistency.
Does age change the formula?
The adult calculation remains the same, but interpretation for children and teens requires age- and sex-specific growth charts.
Can BMI track workout progress?
It can show weight-for-height change, but it may miss fat loss accompanied by muscle gain.
What other measurements can help?
Waist circumference, body-fat estimates, training performance, and clinical markers can add useful context.
