RIP

6ft 7 270....Hearts aren't made to handle this kind of body for that long. People don't realize when you get above a certain high/weight combo you are a time bomb. RIP by the way

65-70 for people this big....Look at ex-NFL lineman for example. Not a long life expectancy. Andre the Giant dead early 40's

He did play in the NFL. According to the radio he was a tight end.

Wonder if he inherited diabetes from his parents like I unfortuneately did. Being diagnosed with diabetes has been a big wake up call for me. Very few times do I eat out at a fast food place. Also I have dropped 50 pounds in the past two years and went from a waist of 40 to a 36. had to buy some new shorts and shirts. Glucose readings are much better now with the new insulin I am on.
