That's interesting. That weight isn't necessarily unhealthy if it's largely muscle from all the training. Did you end up with a low body fat percentage despite the weight?

i’m in a similar spot as the OP. lifting helps, but i’m still pretty fat. 5’11” 250lbs. worksets are 355lb squat, 225lb bench, 425lb deadlift, 175lb overhead press. it’s hard to tell i’m strong, but i’m slightly more slender at this weight than i was before lifting. it definitely helps with aches and pains i used to have, primarily back pain.
