Not many. Anyone thats bulked up to look like a fat strongman clearly wasnt doing it to imitate ed as the guy still had abs at about 185kg.


He didn't have abs at that weight, buy he didn't have high body fat either

Obesity is judged off your bmi, I'm by no means massive but still considered obese by the nhs.

Ed actually has a surprisingly low body fat %

The bigger you are the less it will be.

10% of someone weighing 300 pounds is 30 pounds excess. Obviously 10% of 150 is 15 pounds.

Even at Ed's heaviest, I doubt he would be more than 20%, with the muscle the man carries.

I think that's why the beard trend has emerged... it disguises a fat face

Sorry you are talking nonsense - yes he carries enormous amounts of muscle but he is well over 20% bodyfat - people underestimate BF% all the time. I've done testing at Uni using a bodpod and you would be shocked how lean 10% actually is - most people who claim 10% in the gym are actually 15%+

No way his 20% BF here

Well maybe 25% then. He's 440 lbs, not the Same as some twink at 180. I doubt he has much more than 100 pounds fat?

How do u know his body fat %?

U know guys i know this is a tabu talk here, but lets be honest. When u go to the public and say 'Oh i eat 12 000 calories, i eat ice cream to provide calories, but i have abs at 190 bodyweight'.... well its your fault people think u are running huge amount of gear.

Absolute fact.
Beard is super Unhygienic. It contains more microbes than the toilet.

Under i would say in some competitions. I Malta WSM 09 he was big and very very shredded.
Just take a look:

Hes basically saying Z was too strong and even if he had won stones Z must have been fourth
and nothing could be done at this point.
