      That and he could be more overweight than it appears but he’s sucking in his gut.

        I read somewhere that it is a symptom of a certain type of artificial muscle-building drug that goes overboard on the chest muscles but that was a reddit comment from a while ago so its probably bullshit.

          And there’s almost no muscle on that chest. Even if there were, there’s no muscle that can get that thick on the bottom ribs (the serratus for instance is quite flush with your rib cage)

          I think the explanation I heard through a similar source was something about asthma or something similar causing it. Could also be entirely bullshit.

            Steroidal asthma medication does cause barrel chest. Is that related to the pic? No idea.

      If you watch his latest appearance on Joe Rogans podcast, he actually looks like a normal human. This picture is probably either really just a bad angle, or it’s been photoshopped.

          I sometimes like to watch his videos when he has someone on that’s into conspiracy theories and the likes. About as entertaining as the alex jones gay frogs remix

      i have a similar build to him and when i cut out enough carbs for long enough; i look like him; when i don’t, i’m just plain old good fashioned fat.

      you know he’s cutting out the carbs/fat because there’s not much back fat; but the chest still sticks out like he is still fat, as it does on me; i would sympathize with him if we wasn’t one of the richest men on the planet and a raging asshole at the same time.
