There was a time when sheer bulk is what made a good lineman in American Football. 350 pounds of flab was all that mattered. Now teams want them to be big AND strong.
I see linemen with a lot of arm strength AND a flabby stomach. I have concerns about carrying around that much body weight even if a lot of it is muscle. What happens to you when your playing days are over?
