There is no way those guys walking around at 6'1 300 lbs and sub 20% body fat are not taxing their hearts more than a similar height person of normal weight/bf%.

    It should go without saying that illegal drug abuse causes countless extreme health issues

    You may be surprised to learn that non-drug abusing bodybuilders usually max out around the 150-170lb mark on stage. There are very hard limits to how much muscle your body will let you build

    That's really weird because most bodybuilders I know don't really go below 75-80kg. Yes, I know many as I used to go to the gym, studied as mechanic and I'm from a small city that's focused on gyms and outdoor fitness areas.

    I myself weight 78. Most of my muscle is lower torso since I've been cycling and mountainclimbing much of my life.

    Are you implying 20% body fat is low?

    It kinda is if you're a woman. Of course there's not very much overlap between women and 6'1" 300 lb guys.

    But yeah, the problem there is the abuse of steroids and growth hormones required to get such a body. That will fuck your body up in various ways you might not even notice at first.
