Ronnie Coleman has BMI of 38.9 while having less than 1% body fat. Bit of an extreme example, but "light weight baby!"

He also lifted weights to the point that he put himself into a wheelchair in his 50s. I also highly doubt the no PEDs part.

Ronnie was never less than 1% body fat, or even 1%. Stage ready bodybuilders are more like 3-5%. People are just poor at estimating bodyfat, and the media throwing out nonsense numbers doesn't help.
