A member asked:
How much muscle is too much muscle for a 6ft bodybuilder before it becomes counterproductive and starts damaging the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
see details: Strength training to increase muscle size does not cause any harm to the heart. The only harm is when you start using supplements, especially testosterone, to increase muscle. Then heart issues can occur very quickly.
