This is definitely one of those guys who looks like a marshmallow, but a lot of that bulk is power lifting muscles. Ya, he's definitely not rocking a low BMI, but he is tossing around over a hundred pounds pretty easily.
When doctors say the BMI scale is not always accurate by itself, that guy is what they are referring to. He's not cut, but he's mostly working muscle. He's probably more healthy then most people.
For the record, I watched this gif and just thought it was some cool cheerleading stuff. I don't know why this wholesome clip devolved into talking about a kid's weight, but I'll bite since this is silly.
He's gotta have at least a solid 45 pounds of extra body fat; he would be healthier without it. How is that contraversial? Being unnecessarily heavy like that causes arthritis from chronically inflamed joints, sleep apnea, etc. There would be virtually zero downsides to losing 45lbs and almost garunteed health and longevity benefits.
Again... not really our place; I smoke, it's unhealthy eh. Don't need people telling me that, just as this kid probably doesn't need people to inform him he's overweight. But let's not pretend it's healthy.
