Doesn't really matter...
I've got a friend (Matt Mitrione, actually) who played DE in the NFL. When he left the game, he was around 270 and ripped. His doctor told him he was obese and needed to drop a bunch of weight.
Even though it was muscle, his heart and other organs still have to overwork to maintain that much mass.
