[QUOTE="Phub, post: 993214, member: 135068"] I agree with you about 'body-builders, and their physiology. But the fact is, as you said, muscle is denser than fat, and the same volume of muscle would weigh more than the fat, which might mean they are in fact overweight for their height. After all I suppose the heart doesn't know whether it is fat or muscle that's the burden. A sports fanatic would have a healthy heart of course, capable of supporting the extra weight. I don't think all body-builders take steroids though. I never did when I joined a gym. On the other hand I never felt the need to become super 'muscly'. Just wanted to trim me down. It didn't work, so I saved my money, and started walking in Wales etc! That didn't work either until I stopped eating bread and spuds so much! :D [/QUOTE]
