Tall Boyfriend? You Must be Compensating Ladies

I am indeed a 350lb pro shw strongman sitting at about 18-20% bf last I checked so I’m definitely not the leanest guy, although in my class I’m considered lean ha. I would honestly say that most of the shw guys and girls know we aren’t exactly healthy walking around at these weights. Most suffer from sleep apnea, high blood pressure, edema, high cholesterol, plus you throw in PEDs and you’re talking a whole new ballgame.

However we are doing these things to ourselves while being fully aware of the consequences in the future and knowing we could be healthier without the weight rather than pretending carrying 350lbs of mass is healthy. Most shw will lose a ton of weight after they finish competing. I personally had to put on 80lbs in the past year or two in order to compete at the world level, but again I knew it wasn’t going to be healthy even with most of it being muscle mass. In that same vein though, most bodybuilders with full abs aren’t healthy if you looked at their blood work and bp. Big dogs die early unfortunately

With all that being said if anybody bothers to read this far, no you cannot tell if someone is heathy from looking at them but it’s not fat phobic to have a preference for a body type. It’s just called having a preference for example my wife loves big dudes and would never date a short guy.
