This photoshoot serves as awesome reference reminding us artists that strong bodies come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and muscles show up in different ways. It also helps us keep in mind that not everyone who is fit is also lean. There’s often a layer of fat over the muscles, making them less visible for some.

I don't know, he's holding the weight well for a guy 5' 9" #350 -370. There are lots of linemen, etc..... at #300 plus that look similar or worse.
