Blessing Awodibu has focused on maintaining a physique that is around 300 pounds. To do so, his diet plans has been around 7,000 calories. At this weight, he has felt healthy but struggled early on.

“We got up to 301. Honestly, that was rough. I think a lot had to do with that because it was my very first time being that heavy, you know. My joints hurt. My knee hurts. My performance sucked. Lower-back problems, this offseason, that’s not even a question.

I feel fresh. It feels good. I’m not going to say I’m f***ing overweight so you always going to get that but overall, my performance is good. It’s the strongest I’ve ever felt. I feel really healthy.”
