BMI is mostly taking Into account weight and height. I will say the stats though are way off of average low and high now. Think of it as what's average? Over half the country is obese so I could have an average bmi but that means im over weight.
Let's use the OPs chart as an example he's 5'7" and 195 but you can all see its muscle mass making his BMI a 30+. Is a 30+ bmi considered bad, yes it is but it doesn't take into account his extra weight is muscle and not fat. I'm the exact same height as the OP at 5'7" and I have a BMI of 18-19 and weigh only 120 pounds. Some may think that's crazy skinny, yes it is but I also run 80 miles a week so I am lean with minimal fat. I would be classified as within a healthy BMI based on doctors terms but as long as it's healthy weight like the OP there is really no difference between the OP and I besides what we are targeting to do. He is targeting to build bulk and muscle while I will always be lean with the sheer mileage I run each week.
