why are strong men fat

532 views

now i understand this might come off as a simple question, but the more i thought about it, it really didn’t make sense. yes theyre eating +6k calories a day, so then why wouldnt it turn into something more useful like dense muscle with all the training their doing?

Basically, getting strong and getting fat have the same dietary requirement, which is to eat a lot of food. You can not be as strong as possible without also gaining fat. The excess calories also help with hormones that support strength, hydration, vitamin and mineral intake and things like that. Eat more = stronger and fatter. Eat less = weaker and leaner.

But really they are not as fat as they look. They have a ton of muscle, strong thick midsections, and usually hold a lot of water from eating so much.
