A member asked:
What possible adverse health effects of excess muscle mass are there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: If your muscle mass is due to good diet and exercise, there are no adverse health effects. If you take supplements, especially steroids, the adverse effects will be of the supplements, not mucle mass per se.
