Member 6264, 208 posts | It wouldn't really be free.But do you think people are obese because they can't afford the gym? | ||

Member 6264, 208 posts | Or are you just trying to get free gym membership? | ||

Member 6264, 208 posts | I think you'd probably have to be clinically obese. | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3220 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Supertramp said:I think you'd probably have to be clinically obese. That’s over BMI 30 which is a 6 foot man being 16 stone or so. In the world of powerlifting and strongman that’s a weight that’s bordering on shaving all your body hair off, taking tanning drugs + clen, eating chicken+broccoli, training in a sauna with clingfilm round your abs and applying to go on love island. | ||

 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | If your fortunate to have a good medical insurance plan here in the USA, they will have options to have free memberships to pretty gyms with no knurled bars and dumbellys to 50 pounds. | ||

 Member 5141, 4199 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | We can. We also aren't far from being able to claim disability. I've joked on occassion that i will start claiming disability and other benefits and then i can be a full time fatty and claim to be a professional strongman. The irony of competing in strongman whilst claiming disability benefit appeals to me. | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Wayne_Cowdrey said:Could those of us who are "obese" get free gym sessions via a doctor's appointment? Not heard of gym sessions (yet) but you can get prescribed a Parkrun, and there's no charge. https://www.bmj.com/content/361/bmj.k2746 That said, no ones squat ever went up through doing Parkruns | ||

Get a friend shrink to give you a grill session of what might be questioned to get the paper sighners questioners shrinks to pass. Note: they will have detectives taking pics of you lifting boulders, but then again, that may prove you sre crazy? | ||
