NGT: Joe Thomas - Body Transformation

The big guys rarely stay near the playing weight.

PEDs, but if you saw what meal plan for an offensive lineman was, you would understand how its easy for them to drop those meals.

They eat more in their first meal then most do in an entire day and then they eat like 5 more massive meals on top of that.

DP just asked him how much weight he's lost and he said he's down about 50 lbs from his last year and about 75 from his highest playing weight.

He had to eat a ton of food to keep weight on.

probably just added 10+ years to his life. You can tell he loves retirement, and he earned it. Millions in the bank and more time to spend it.

but I like him, seems like a good dude with good insights

Eats 9 meals and 4800 calories per day so I can only imagine what Thomas ate.

Thomas said he had to eat about every two hours during the season.

A ton of carbs.

And he honestly doesn’t even look the same person as an adult as he did as a college athlete.

I remember him telling me, when your playing days are done on the offensive line, you either shed it all as quick as you can or you just keep going up.

He basically just started eating like a regular human and he turned into the incredible shrinking human.

JJ Watt did north of 10,000 calories, so I'm guessing pretty close to that.

is a reason why the eat that much and don't get fat. football is the worse offender.

These are guys who CAN Put On Weight and Carry it. That's the unique thing about them.....they add weight and still function athletically.

It's not Healthy---It's O LINE

If my wife cheated on me with that, I'd be like, "I completely understand."

Date rape face.

... but Joe Thomas still looks like a big muscular guy. He just lost the fat.

They all are on PED's. So while it looks miraculous that they've shrunk, they have literally shrunk, both in mass and in muscle.

And it isn't just linemen eating like that. Most of the skill position guys take in a huge amount of calories.

Lineman supplement their meals with PED's that focus on mass building. A lot of the Wr's, Db's and RB's take supplements that focus on lean muscle.

Once they stop playing, of course they reduce the calorie count. They also go off the roids too
