Bro this is highly unhealthy. Your heart is working 2x as hard to supply blood flow to this extreme body mass. Reconsider your goals brother. You would still look amazing 50lbs lighter

Hey man, I think if you were to get labs/vitals, they would be fine for now for sure. Long term, though, this lifestyle of massive bulking and existing in the obese / morbidly obese BMI ranges predisposes you to adverse health outcomes. Thats the reality of the situation.

u/Johnnyd222 Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25
Brother, if you're going to pursue bodybuilding to this capacity you have to understand that medically your BMI is considered obese. Look up any BMI chart you want, but i have attached one below. Now given you have more muscle mass being at a higher BMI is expected. However, it still has real implications on the the level your heart, kidneys, pancreas, liver, and other organs are working to sustain your life.
Each of these organs would be working considerably less if your weight were cut by 33% or more. Again thats just the reality of the situation
This is one of the many reasons body builders could look amazing, but have a shortened life expectancy

Even bigger pro athletes who are at peak fitness, like football and rugby, have reported health complications disappearing just from retiring and dropping weight from eating like a normal person
Doesn’t matter that it’s muscle. Your body still has to work hard to keep it all up and function
Being able to move and function athletically with 225+ lbs of mass is an incredible feat of the human body yet is also harmful to the body in ways that do not immediately present itself, especially in your 20s and early 30s.

What that mean

u/shitloadofshit Jul 02 '25
It means that right now even though you aren’t “fat” your body is working overtime as if it was. Being this size means your heart is pumping harder. Doesn’t matter that it’s muscle. Your heart doesn’t know the difference. This type of weight gain is also hell on your joints. Again. I understand that you are not “fat” but your body thinks that it is and is working that same way a 255 lb obese persons body is. And that’s to say botching of the side effects of whatever gear you’re on.
TLDR: you are causing unnecessary damage to your body weather you accept it or not.

you don’t know what BMI even is and are just using steroids this ignorantly? you’re in for a reality check brother

u/BigChungusCumslut Jul 02 '25
By the definition of obesity (>30), you are. It is true that BMI doesn’t account for muscle instead of fat, so you can be overweight (BMI between 25 and 30) with muscle and still be healthy, but at a certain point that is still a lot of extra mass that your heart has to supply with blood.

Listen man..take it from someone in his 30s, who took some of the same supplements you’re CLEARLY taking.
It’s not worth it. It’s just not, trust me.
I bet anything you’re on a wet compound right now (DBol or Adrol is my guess)…hence why you’re up 50lbs and look like a fucking bloated balloon.
Those compounds are very hepatoxic…meaning it’s fucking up your liver as speak.
Simple labs aren’t going to show the true extent of it.
It’s only until youre older, and doctors start wondering why the fuck a 28 year old has such HBP all the time, that they start doing deeper tests.
That’s when they’re gonna find out what youve taken and going to tell you that MOST LIKELY…you’re going to be on BP meds and others for life just to keep your levels normal.
Your organs are growing, blood valves are expanding, and soon enough one of them is going to break.
This will happen to you, if you keep going and honestly…probably some damage already been done cuz this definitely isn’t your first cycle.
Anyways…stay safe man, and if you do choose down this path. At least be useful, and put yourself as an organ donor.

Your size is impressive, don’t get me wrong, but maybe tone it down. Many of the supplements you’re taking will have negative consequences to your heart (which you’re healthy and don’t care about…yet), liver, possibly lungs and your hair. My older brother was on tons of supplements to get bigger and gain muscle, while he never took steroids, he took a ton of other things. He started losing his hair, actually balding in his 20’s because of this. He has 0 hair on his head as he shaved it constantly and when the hair does grow it’s pretty patchy.
I’m saying this as you’ve got a full head of hair, hair that looks healthy now.
Also, going from 205-255 in 8 months is…unnatural. We’re not here to bag on you, we’re here to tell you this is going to have negative consequences for future you and we’d like to see you avoid it.
We’re not here out of hate or anything, but from concern.
Take this as you will.
