Is This Girl "Too Chunky" to be a Cheerleader?

I dunno. If those charts are correct, than even Marine Corps standards are fucking weak.

At 72 inches (6' even) I have to be under 203. I'm at about 189-195 and according to that chart, I'm pushing my luck? Except, you know, nobody would ever look at me and consider my frame to be large or fat.

Thats pretty strict on the guy's side at least. Dont know about the women's.

At 5'10", medium frame, 166lbs is pretty damn lean.

6'3", medium frame and you're supposed to be <200lbs?

:/

What? I'm 6'3" and 170, and I'm not exactly lean. Just about average body size.
 
another test is..

Waist Circumference and Waist-to-Hip Ratiol

Men - Male waist circumference should be less than 40 inches (102 cm).

Women - Female waist circumference should be less than 35 inches (88 cm).

I don't find her to be unattractive or overweight. However, she doesn't fit the typical cheerleader mold but I don't think that matters.

For those that are pretty muscular, fat percentage might be a better measurement.

edit: Not sure how the chart can say Fit and Fair at the same time. But hey, just an example.

This is a pretty strict chart. I'd say a woman who's 25 years old and 30% BF isn't OBESE. Sure maybe a bit on the fluffy side but not obese. It's a very strict chart meant for people who are active and fit, and not held to a normal standard. I wouldn't say that less than 19% BF is ideal for most women either, and that's quite low (equivalent to sub 10% for guys).

I also found this, which is more lenient.

I like that one more, though I still find some of them to be a bit off. 14% is a female athlete? Maybe a competitive bodybuilder before a show or something. My chart would be something like this:

Women:

Essential: 10-13
Lean: 14-17
'Fit': 18-22
Normal: 23-30
Overweight: 31-35
Obese: 36+

I'm basing that off of pictures of DEXA scans.

For guys:

Essential: 3-5
Lean: 6-9
'Fit': 10-14
Normal: 15-20
Overweight: 21-25
Obese: 26+

Same, scans. Personal opinion, obviously depends on muscle mass (I wouldn't call a scrawny guy at 14% BF to be 'fit'.'

Unless you can see your abs, if you are above those numbers then yes you are obese.

You're talking shit. I'm less than 20% body fat. I can't quite see my abs but I can see veins through my arms shoulders. You have no idea what you are talking about. I'm also a full 50 lbs more than the large frame for 6'0 but my wrist is also 8 inches.

Exactly. BMI is garbage. Brb I can meet military standards but I'm severely obese on BMI.....

In the universe where in the picture posted on this page I could grab a fistful of flab on her stomach. Are people fucking blind or something? People are acting like there's going to be an award for "Most Appreciative of Extra Pounds" in this thread.

She's not fat but she's clearly a bit overweight in her recent photos.
Click to expand...
Maybe I am blind because I honestly cannot see how any part of her is flabby.
 
ITT, fedora standards. She is an attractive woman and if she's got the moves then what is the problem?

I swear, some people on GAF surprise me every day. First the guy who bulletpoints his argument as to why Natalie Dormer is ugly and now this.

You have to admit the Natalie Dormer bullet points were absolutely hilarious.

This thread is just mostly sad.

Cheerleaders are athletes. They are held to a higher standard of fitness (including BF%) than non-athletes. Pros need to conform to the body type that is thought to be most beneficial to their sport. Was Josh Freeman a big, fat fuck? Not really, but he got pretty chunky for an NFL QB.

This woman's big for a cheerleader. Probably a solid 10 pounds big, which is substantial when her peers weigh in at 120 or whatever a super skinny but tall woman weighs.

It's not about whether she's hot enough to date or unrealistic body images. Wide receivers have bodies that are unattainable for most men, and I bet a few NFL jobbers and UDFA gets the boot every year because they tack on an extra 10 lbs and go from professionally lean to average.

She looks "thick," which would be a perfectly acceptable term if hadn't been co-opted by obese women, just as curvy was stolen from full figured women.
 
What a porker!! Oops that came out wrong, I mean I would pork her. I'm not a fan of skinny girls, I love them with a little meat on their bones, but she is by no means chunky! WTF!

Overweight on what scale.

I don't disagree that we have a ton of overweight people in this country, but unfortunately people don't even know what a healthy weight is anymore. It's normal to have some fat on on you. It's healthy even.

My friend was 5'8" no muscles no fat, and 138.

It was disgusting. His frame is smaller than mine. A "good" median weight for 5'8" in terms of muscle and fat would actually be 180

My ex was 5'0 on a good day, and she used to be 90~ pounds. She didn't have much muscle, or fat. Pretty lean in general from a life of neurotic dieting. When we broke up, she was about 120~ or so. She was still hot as far as I was concerned. Not skinny as she used to be, but not fat or chunky either. I thought she was hot at that weight.

That's another thing, men's pants are made to go on the hips in general, not over the waist like women's pants.
 
It is an illusion because her bust isn't scaled with the rest of her. If she had an ample bosom people might say maybe 5lb but without people think 15lb.

Also as a dancer she probably has well developed abs which will push out your belly fat.

The fact that the article was written by a woman is even more depressing than the fact that it was written at all.

I read somewhere that said many women have body image issues because of other women, who are their own worst critics. Most men(or the ones I know) prefer a women with meat on their bones and don't like the ultra-skinny model type that the media claims is the "ideal" woman.
