Disadvantages Of Excessive Muscle Mass - Why Avoid Gaining Too Much Muscle


To begin with, this article does not intend to slam bodybuilding. If someone is committed to making progress in bodybuilding as a sport, hobby or career and their ultimate goal is to grow their muscles to be as huge as possible, they deserve respect for their hard work and dedication.

I however have a personal preference for the slim and muscular look over making ones body as big and swollen as possible.

Nonetheless, everyone should direct their focus on what is appropriate for them. If you are a skinny and ectomorphic person, working hard at adding a significant amount of muscle mass to your frame will benefit you.

Gaining muscle can help with a healthier immune system, increase bone stability and help with providing a higher level of physical strength. Therefore, putting muscle on is a good thing, but gaining muscle in excess creates a number of disadvantages. The idea is to avoid gaining excessive muscle mass if the following disadvantages will bother you.



Wearing Normal Clothes Becomes A Problem

Extremely overweight and obese people usually need to custom-make their clothes due to their over-sized body. If you are too big with muscle mass you'll need to do the same thing to get clothes that'll fit you. You'll no longer be able to wear clothes of normal size without looking stuffed and feeling uncomfortable in them.

Your arms won’t be able to fit into normal shirt sleeves. Your back, neck and legs will be busting out of  your nice dress clothes like the Incredible Hulk. These are some of the clothing problems you are going to have if you choose to add a lot of bulkiness. Think about really huge bodybuilders. Do they ever look attractive in normal clothes?

People Will Think You Are On Steroids Even If You Are Not 

When you’re too thick with muscle, people assume you are on steroids even if you’re not. People will always judge you by the presentation that you deliver. If you are natural and get accused of being on roids it can be quite infuriating and discouraging. You are less likely to be accused of using steroids if your body size is within average.

Women Would Not Be Attracted

It is proven that women are attracted to mens muscles, but do women find men with big and bulky muscles attractive? Beefy guys usually deliver a look that appears like they are mean and dangerous whether they want to or not.

If you have a really huge and muscular look you may have problems meeting women friends to socialize with when you go out. Women will think you look cheesy, scary or dangerous due to your massive muscles. What about your clothing?

You will have a hard time dressing to impress women. Chicks like guys that look neat and sharp in normal stylish clothes, not when their body looks stuffed in a shirt and pants. Take note of the type of attention male celebrities get for their body image.

Brad Pitt, Matthew Mcconaughey and Hugh Jackman always get admired by women and they never look big with muscles. Having a nice lean, toned and trim body will get you more positive attention from the opposite sex.

Decreased Functionality Of Your Body

Becoming huge with muscles can actually reduce your ability to take part in physical activity that require effective movement and flexibility. You would not be able to play certain type of sports properly if your body is too bulky and huge. Staying slim with muscle mass is more of a sustainable look and a healthier functionality for your body.

You Will Most Likely Gain Too Much Fat

Whether its gained by itself or with muscle, excess fat is not healthy. If you are trying to get as big as possible you'll most likely put on excess fat in the process. This is bad, because fat cells never go away. Those cells just shrink when you lose weight. the more fat cells you have, the more difficult it'll be to get lean.

Therefore, it's critical to avoid gaining them in the first place. Most people that want to get big muscles fast choose the route of bulking with excess calories. This leads to a swollen and rounded physique filled with fat.

Gaining additional fat cells to gain muscle, provides the way for your body to get fat easily and create a swollen look. The best approach is to aim to get lean, stay lean gain muscle with proper density. Don’t  gain more fat cells by bulking up to gain muscle.

Again, if you choose to get big with muscle mass you deserve respect for your effort and commitment. The above, however, are just some of the consequences you'll have to deal with if you become overly muscular.

Build Muscle To Look Really Lean And Ripped, Not Huge And Bulky
