Lineman have it the hardest of any NFL players. These guys have to eat a shit load of food and hit their macros while hitting the gym. Being that big and strong doesn’t happen naturally.

JJ Watt said that retiring was such a relief not bc of working out but bc of the constant food intake. It’s so much work staying that size.

Apparently some dudes like that because some retired lineman balloon to like 400lbs, most end up losing weight but yea.

It also depends on your body type. Some people put on weight easy, some people can't put on weight to save their life without eating an uncomfortable amount of food.

You'd think the latter would be ****ing awesome, eat whatever you want lol. But when you need to hit a certain weight, it's not fun fighting your own metabolism.
