Okay, so I've heard in the past that caloric intake is inversely proportional to one's lifespan. I don't know how true this is, but it seems very probable. Supposedly the organs work harder, ingesting 20xBW in calories and such. I was planning to eat this much to put on mass and gain strength. I'm a mesomorph.
Anyway, hearing this bothered me. A lot. Then I found out about how Arnold had quadruple bypass surgery, and all of the BBers from that day and age were extremely unhealthy. Whether this is from 'roid abuse or just having too much mass on one's frame, I don't know. Case in point, this issue really bothers me. I don't want to put on tons of mass, knowing this could be my fate.
Is there truth to this? Is this why Yates, Coleman, Arnie and/or others were/are unhealthy as time went on? Due to all the mass? Is eating this many cals that bad for you? It can't be good to ingest so much, can it?
What about weight on the frame? I'm 6', a mesomorph, 17 year old male, 172 lbs. or so. Not sure on bodyfat. 10% maybe? What would become dangerous at my frame?
This sucks.
