Can you point to any peer-reviewed studies that indicate that "excess" muscle mass raises health risk? BMI is used as a simple-minded proxy for BF% because, in the broad cross-section of society, people with high BMI have high BF. It is an unwarranted leap to conclude that high BMI with low BF% causes health risk. > Some dumbo bodybuilders think that by growing muscles, they > are doing themselves a favor.

Please describe the process by which you conflated an interest in hypertropy with a lack of IQ. -- -Wayne
