(I got this info from the book 'The Lance Armstrong Performance Program' pg. 123).
Your on crack.
I just went to this site and typed in my numbers.
162 and 5'11" my BMI is 23.
If I put in 145lbs it would still be a BMI of 20. I would have to get down to 132 to make it 18. That would anorexic in my book.
I would like to loose about 10 lbs, just so I can climb faster. But not 132. That would be crazy.
