Guessing football and wrestling in high school, growth hormones in their meat, and an element of obesity. These are all guesses though, not shitting on the yanks.

When i was 16, two of my friends went to study in america for a year or so. They went individually and didn't know eachother. One of them cam back obese and the other one was shredded and gained like 20kg.
