Just a sidenote... muscle weighs more than fat, so a really muscular person would weigh more than a person who is not muscular but has an equal amount of body fat. And The Rock is definitely all muscle! So yeah... BMI is definitely not the same thing as determining % body fat.
And I have to say that even as a "skinny person" I'm starting to get annoyed by some people's comments on here. Come on people, it's not exactly nice to come on here and talk about overweight people being unattractive! That's probably the most insulting/hurtful thing said on this thread so far!
