So I had to get a DOT physical yesterday and if I hear from one more doctor that I need to lose weight I'm gonna lose it....I am 5'11" 246lbs and 11% bodyfat at 37 years old it sickens me that an educated man should know better.....the last 3 docs I've seen have all said the same shit "sir you are a very muscular man but you could stand to lose 25 lbs or more but we can't go by the BMI because of your bodyfat percentage". Fucking morons all of them....and yes guys for a DOT physical the check your neck size and BF% so yes its 11 %!!
 
Well I'm fatter than you and my doc doesn't bother me. :wiggle::spin::wiggle:
 
I don't know my bf% but I have visible abs and good vascularity. I got a letter that my doctor who has a big beer gut wants me to have a consultation with a dietician. Maybe he wants me to give the dietician some pointers?
 
Yeh Ozz, I hear ya on the Doc's being ignorant for sure in that aspect....and you forgot to mention that for a DOT physical that you had a finger inserted into your anus ...and told to cough ,,,,,

Thats funny shit right there!

My old doc told me to loose wieght, and I'm nothing like you ozzy. When he told me that I was 6ft 220 and probably 10-11%. Come the fark on bro....
 
I agree brother 110%!! until recently I've had those doctors that would go by the BMI but said they didn't agree with it, Just last month I got a new PCP and up until now I've had men doctors but my new female doctor called Bullshit on the BMI last month she said I was picture of health and @ 5'9".5 @ 245# the chart said I was Obese with a BMI of 37 and she said I was the healthiest patient she had!! lol So fuck that BMI Chart...
 
TRuth be told bro

When doctors say THAT its either two reason "one they didnt find anyhting much and want to feel important and in command so tell u to fix a few things hoping u would say yes sir and respect them"

Or in reality they ARE really smart and actually do realize that HIgher Bodyweight BMI actually does lead to a lot of Problems from joint diseases to cardiovascular disease. I can almost gurantee you if you got an ultrasound of your heart right now, It will have some hypertrophy and lot of cardiologist consider that as Early Diastolic Dysfunction heart failure No matter how healthy u look or are.

If i had to guess it was probably the first one. Doctors are trained over and over to increase longevity and reduce mortality. They dont care about the quality of life just quantity and in the long run for details i Wont go into I somewhat agree and see the reason why. I used to be like you and be like and say fuck you Doctors only care about quantity of life not quality what the fuck..? But I think i see now why..

But all you have to tell the doctor is I understand Dr. XYZ, but my priorities are a bit different aNd I truly enjoy this, and if it means that its gonna cut a few years off my life and prone me to xyz disease than I am ok with it.
 
^ very well said my friend and yes in january when I get my annual physical I'm gonna request a cardiac ultrasound to see if the GH and gear has affected my heart size
 
Haha, they are just jealous, haha. Im 5'11 220-240 depending on time of yr only thing the dr ask me is if or what kinda AAS im on,haha. um just protein!!lol
 
Iv'e accepted a long time ago most doctors are clueless with diet , exercise , dietary supplements , and most probably never worked out in their life . I can hand any doctor at the facility I go to a bottle of milk thistle and they'll just tell me it hasn't been proven to do anything and won't even look in up in a google search .

I had a nurse tell me once they don't take into consideration your lean BMI if your over the weight listed for a man of a particular height . They told me a guy like myself at 5'8 tall should weigh no more then 165 pounds regardless of muscle/ fat .

Wow is that english I am typing in?
 
In the Air Force I was put on the fat guy program.
I was 6' 212 with an 18 1/2" neck and a 35" waist.
Also, I could squat 450 for 6.
They called me in one month, measured my neck, measured my waist, and the Doc said, "Hell, with an 18 1/2" neck at your height and weight, you can have a 53" waist and still pass!"
LOL, couldn't believe it.
I think my fat boss just wanted a representative so he didn't have to go on a diet.
