      Yeah I guess that could explain some of that 41%, but some American cops really do seem pretty obese. Feels like firefighters likely aren’t a huge part of that 41%

        Anyone who’s muscular without being Mr. Olympia is over that threshold. The problem here should be fitness and fast percentage and not weight as a measure proportional to your height.

        Is the indicator that’s wrong.
