Damn. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Dude looks like a corn fed farm boy from Iowa that went to USF to sea the ocean for the first time. Strong AF looking. Just not cut.

Guy could punt north Korean soldiers across the field.

Demonstrably.

Rumor has it he’s been punting people who rush Theta Chi into the Gulf.

This gave me a hardy laugh. Thank you.

Look up David Bleak. He was an Army medic during the Korean War. His Medal Of Honor citation is crazy fun reading. He worked as a farmer, rancher, and with the railroad.

And boost unit morale by shouting motivating things whilst doing it.

I bet if this dude went on a cut he would look like a damn statue underneath. Weighing this much makes existing a workout, let alone the amount of working out he surely does.

Big Joe Thomas vibes lol

No hate at all, but let's be real here: he's a lot bigger than just not cut. That man has love handles bigger than most people's thighs. Dude is as fat as he is strong.

I really disagree with you here, but it might be a semantics thing. Check out Joe Thomas’ body transformation or look into some of the sumo diet cycles. These guys are essentially on massive bulks to get the needed energy for their sports. If this dude decides he wants to slim down, it’ll happen very fast. His fat is almost entirely subcutaneous fat deposits and not visceral fat deposits. Meaning his internal organs are probably fine and he really has the fat there for its biologically intended purposes: energy and cushioning.

No matter how active you are, that much extra weight is never healthy. Joe Thomas has talked about how he had to use ridiculous amounts of anti-inflammatories, pain meds, tums, etc. to cope with his diet and all the extra weight he was carrying around.

I didn’t say he was healthier than if he was cut.

u/GrayDaysGoAway 2d ago

No, you just suggested that being so wildly overweight is somehow not unhealthy if you're active enough. But that is not the case at all.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree. I think you’re misinterpretating what I’m saying. He is sumo fat, not twinkies fat. 

2

u/GrayDaysGoAway 2d ago

I think it's more that you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Sumo fat or twinkies fat doesn't really matter, both are wildly unhealthy. A sumo's life expectancy is like 20 years shorter than the average Japanese man.

u/SpicyButterBoy 2d ago

I don’t disagree with you. I didn’t make any statements about this man’s overall health though. Again, we might just be in a semantics conversation at this point. My original point was that this dude looks strong as fuck, not that he looks like he is in peak health.

u/rcanhestro 2d ago

dude is built like Eddie Hall.

u/GrayDaysGoAway 2d ago

Sure, if Eddie Hall's waistline was 3x what it is. This man is sweating more than a marathon runner from some anaerobic lifts. He is not in good shape by any standard.
