So, Chris Snee has lost a TON of weight..

Dave in Hoboken : 5/29/2015 2:05 pm
Looks like a completely different person. Holy crap:



I know athletes lose some weight after they retire, but this might be the biggest loss of weight I've seen from a former athlete to retired athlete possibly ever. Good for him. His knees and back must feel a ton better.

Encouraging to see. Eating and lifting that much tends to become a habit, good thing those guys dropped the weight and became normal humans again. It is damning proof though of what the supplement industry can push you to physically if you have the right blend.
What great genetics.

He dropped a ton a weight after his playing days were over. He once told me the general philosophy for linemen is either drop all your weight or be doomed. Being 300 pounds while maintaining a rigorous training schedule is one thing, but carrying that weight in retirement is a death sentence.
Nate Newton actually got up to 400 pounds after retirement  
Greg from LI : 5/29/2015 2:27 pm : link
But lost about 170 pounds.

I'm surprised he isn't more muscular.

Similarly, I have a coworker who played D-1 center, he said he played at 290-300, now he's 6-1 and about 225

I asked him how he dropped the weight, he said serious commitment to exercise and eating right. And that he'd stopped taking steroids.

is why my wife wants me to stick to 10k distance runs and not marathons. good on snee and others though for dropping the weight and hopefully they all live happy and healthy post-football careers (even nate newton).
RE: I don't know, he still looks pretty damn big to me.

Maybe not that 'ripped' - but Snee's arms and legs look the same size as mine from that picture.

People forget that these guys actually have to work....  
Dunedin81 : 5/29/2015 3:18 pm : link
incredibly hard to keep weight ON during the season, pretty much the opposite problem that we have. Most at this point are pretty athletic so the challenge is to eat and lift enough to sustain 300+ lbs. So for them they already have the discipline to exercise, losing weight and staying healthy is not requiring a huge change of lifestyle for them.
How does he have such skinny legs?  
steve in ky : 5/29/2015 3:18 pm : link
I would think he would have more natural leg muscle. Is that really him?

But I am still not 100% convinced that is Snee in the first pic.

And shep's line was fantastic.

Chris Snee, retired version. Weighs in the 235-240 range these days...
Shows how unnatural it is for people to be that big  
weeg in the bronx : 5/29/2015 3:39 pm : link
kind of f'd up in a way
I think this settles the question  
jcn56 : 5/29/2015 3:42 pm : link
'How the hell do some of these guys get hurt so easily?'. They're way overdeveloped in most cases.
He's been retired for about 10 months or so  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/29/2015 3:44 pm : link
I don't think it should be considered unnatural to have reshaped your body in that time. The guy was a gym rat at 320 when he was plowing through 4000 cals a day. I'm sure he was quite driven to cut weight.
Eli once joked about this  
CMACDC : 5/29/2015 3:48 pm : link
I saw him speak at a breakfast and he mentioned running into an ex-teammate (he didn't say who it was) who had lost an enormous amount of weight. "I kind of feel like I can beat him up now," he said.

He looks a lot thinner than that.

I agree Brett  
Greg from LI : 5/29/2015 4:01 pm : link
At his height (6'4", right?) he looks like he's around 215 or so. That's what Marc Staal is, 6'4" 215, and in that picture Snee doesn't look any bigger than Staal.

Getting off hgh  
chiro56 : 5/29/2015 6:03 pm : link
Has huge implications
I saw him at a St. Joe's-Bergen Catholic game in the Fall...  
Crispino : 5/29/2015 6:46 pm : link
and I was amazed at his appearance. And that was probably 30 pounds ago from that picture above.
good for him  
NYGTBlair : 5/29/2015 7:25 pm : link
Anybody who can stay strict with a diet and an exercise program to better themselves is getting a thumbs up from me.
A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 5/29/2015 7:36 pm : link
1) Great for him. I wish more former players would take this type of care of themselves. It seems more do not.

2) This is probably a good example of how unnaturally large the players are. It is supplements both legal and illegal that keep these guys well over 300 pounds.

3) It is not just the elimination of steroids that gets him down to his current weight. To get into the shape he is in, it probably took more discipline than in his playing days in terms of diet and exercise.
i love that there are a few recent ex-Giants around the facilities  
Matt M. : 5/29/2015 7:37 pm : link
But, do Snee and Diehl have official positions with the team?
Fuck Nate Newton.

There. I feel better.
I met some then famous bodybuilders back in the 80's  
mrvax : 5/30/2015 7:49 am : link
This picture reminded me of former Mr.Olympia, Franco Columbo.
When I met Franco, he looked like a normal man in great shape. That's the 1st thing I thought of when I saw Snee.

Snee looks great but that is pretty telling, IMO.

stretch234 : 5/30/2015 7:54 am : link
I read an article on him and he said how difficult and un-natural it really is to be a 300lb human who plays football. He said both he and Kalil had to drink high calorie shakes all the time and eat significantly more food to keep weight on.
Wonder if Snee  
mrvax : 5/30/2015 7:55 am : link
might think about trying out for TE?
