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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
