I think it's well established that BMI is a terrible metric for actual athletes.

What I want to know is how relevant it is for regular people. I just punched in my weight and height of 6'3" and 200 lbs and it tells me I'm overweight. There's not a lot of muscle weighing me down either, but still, there's no way anyone would say I'm overweight.
