Why are weight lifters so fat?

619 views

Don’t get me wrong, I understand they’re athletes and work tremendously hard, but they all have their bellies hanging over their belts. Wouldn’t be less fat make it easier to lift a weight since you’re also not lifting your own fat?

Because they eat a lot to build muscle and probably don’t think much about body fat % so they don’t look as chiselled as a body builder would. They just need to eat high intake of calories given the sheer amount of weight they wish to lift will take a lot of energy.
