YoloinOhio Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It always amazes me how some of the OL look like different people after they stop training for football PS no Richie this year. Wonder how he’s doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 That’s what football does to you... when you work out 6 days a week for professional football you get huge, especially for a lineman when you retire, and you stop working out like a pro football player you lose your football weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) He has that type of body; has to work hard all the time to keep weight UP. He's not a true "big body" in that sense. Other guys have to work constantly to keep their weight in check and the moment they retire, the bloat up to 400 lbs. You can usually tell which is which by the size of their ass. Not joking. Another NFL OL with a Wood body type was John Fina. A guy who didn't have this problem was House Ballard. PS: ON a recent Monday segment with Schopp & Bulldog, prior to his retirement, Wood said he would like to be around 260 lb. (as I recall) after retirement. He mentioned constantly eating and lifting during the season to keep his weight on. Edited May 6, 2018 by Fadingpain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Speaking of offensive linemen, it's always funny to me that one of the best Bills players of all time and consistently great O-linemen Reuben Brown is often forgotten and overlooked, simply because of the Bills teams he played on. - 8 consecutive Pro Bowls for the Bills from 1996-2003 (9 times overall) - 4 time All-Pro team - Started all 181 games he played in The guy was a beast, but he was after the Kelly era, and not around for long after the playoff drought began, so he doesn't get as much talk as other Bills linemen.

It has to do with how many calories you put in your body. If someone works out the same way but doesnt eat the number of calories they do they will be much smaller. People can do the exact same workout and one person can be body builder big and the other can in shape but not really big. It has to do with calories. Also genetics but more so calories.

Seems they can have trouble adjusting their caloric intake down after all the years of having to exercise and thus eat like crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
