And what about body builders that have 200pounds of muscle... are they "unhealthy"?

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

They will certainly have some problems later on. Many professional body builders are having joint and bone issues. Markus Rühl once gave an interview where he said (roughly translated) "My body is basically a wreck. My body is just kept together by the muscles".

However, muscles are also supporting the body, fat doesn't. So while having excessive muscles will be a problem at some point, being fat is a much bigger problem much earlier.
