Does BMI matter??

[Daniel zacks]

I have a bmi of 21 and I have some very muscular friends who have a BMI of 25+ which is considered to be overweight by the scale, but they are very healthy and very fit. I heard somewhere that's an outdated scale and it makes sense for it to not be accurate so I'm wondering if you guys have an opinion on it

they use x-ray for measuring body's metrics, some gyms provide dexa scan ( although a lot less professional version than the standard one, it is still better than bmi estimation )
