My dad was NFL level football player in his day. I came along a generation later and that same position was at least 50 lbs heavier. From my days of football to now that has added at LEAST 50 lbs more and possibly 100 lbs. Biggest difference tho is muscle twitch and speed. Not only are linemen way heavier now but they have speed to match. It is no wonder there are more concussions as the physics is simple. Greater mass at greater speed is harder impact damage.

Everything about the evolution of the NFL can be attributed to a focus on strength training, proper nutrition, and, this is the most important bit, PEDs.

I didn't read back through all of the thread here, but what I'm gathering is that you're saying humans have gotten bigger over the last 100 years as if that's some marvel of evolution, when it isn't. It has everything to do with a reduction of famine and an emphasis on science, particularly the USA. Nothing to do with the human body's functioning.

The level of fat acceptance by posters on this board is hilarious

I dropped about 25 pounds

Damn. How much, how often and what fried food were you eating?

2. You should have SOME veggies, for the vitamins and fiber.

Show your work

Dropping 25 pounds in a year when you were 6’0 and 225 seems pretty easy tbh

The average south LA baw would probably lose more than 25 lbs in a year by cutting out fried foods

If I have to eat fast food - most places have surprisingly decent grilled chicken sandwiches.

I'm a South LA guy. Don't really eat that much fried. I like it, fried shrimp, oysters, fish and chicken, just don't eat it that often.
