This is a normal post The inept referee in the main event... SMH.
He nearly made me forget how much I now hate Takakeisho the hungry hamster. Did you see his match against Ichinojo the other day? He thought his top knot was pulled so just gave up and started crying to the judges.

This is a normal post I want them to wrestle actual giant radioactive hamsters.

This is a normal post 'Keisho probably has the life expectancy of a giant radioactive hamster, so there's that.

This is a normal post I thought they were supposed to be fairly healthy.
Unless they keep the calories up after giving up competition.

This is a normal post Relatively healthy compared to an 'average' person of that BMI, I'd imagine.

This is a normal post For athletic type compare them to strongmen, powerlifters, superheavyweights, etc.
An average person with the same BMI as is not remotely capable of keeping up with them.

They might live longer though.

This is a normal post Can you really compare them to those groups, though?
I'd imagine the average bodybuilder is maybe about 250lbs? What's the average Rikishi? Nearing double that on some occasions, I'm sure.
Strongmen are probably a fairer comparison, but even then I'd assume they have a fair bit more muscle mass than a Sumo and a lot of these guys end up having to cut back eventually because of weight-related issues. I'd assume their cardio is likely fairly comparable to a Sumo's, too.

They're undoubtedly in better physiological condition than somebody of an equal weight riding around the supermarket on a mobility scooter, but I don't think you could ever be that size and be regarded as completely 'healthy''.

Edit: Also, isnt there something about Sumos drinking obscene amounts of alcohol?

This is a normal post I think they're the fairest comparison, yeah.
Sumo wrestlers are like strongmen and powerlifters (rather than bodybuilders) in that their muscle is for strength, not for show.

There are no weight divisions, and you get all shapes and sizes when you take the lower divisions into account (most rikishi start out as skinny or average build).

The top 3 divisions are mostly dominated by larger men, but you see 90-100kg guys doing exceptionally well sometimes. Enho, Ishiura, and Midorifuji are very good fun to watch right now, and the great Takanoyama went very far for a very skinny gaijin.

You also see some wrestlers who are more muscly than chubby, e.g. Kotoeko, Tochinochin, and the iconic Chiyonofuji back in the day (cough-steroids-cough).

There is a tradition of rikishi enjoying wine, women and song with their benefactor super-fans, but it's ostensibly discouraged. Bringing scandal and disrepute to the sport is very much frowned upon, and I get the impression that the most important rule is don't get caught.

Sumo groupies must be quite flat.

This is a normal post When you carry around that much weight, it takes a lot more to get drunk.

I feel like I need to drop this story about Andre the Giant here:

Andre's liver must have been enormous.

This is a normal post It's... Complicated. Nutrition is not a settled science, everyone is different, etc.
Generally speaking those with larger frames and who carry a lot of fat must have quite developed musculature underneath (and you can absolutely see that is the case with some).

But Takakeisho is a short man who breaks a sweat and gasps for air when merely standing up, and his matches rarely go longer than 3-7 seconds. Once he's headbutted and slapped and pushed you a few times, he's in oxygen debt. 0-cardio training.

Unless he retires soon I doubt he'll make it to 40.

This is a normal post He's pretty fucked then.
*feels better about the smoking and beer*

On the subject of nutrition, I am pretty sure human problems with nutrition are mainly because we have lost touch with the sensations from our digestive system. It uses more serotonin than the brain and has an extensive nervous system.
A recent small study gave a range of primates unlimited access to food, only the humans involved ate to excess.

This is a normal post You clearly haven't met my dog.
He had a sore tummy a few days ago, but still insisted on eating. I've never witnessed an animal dry heave so heavily between mouthfuls and carry on regardless.

He taught himself how to sit, too. Sitting on their arse isn't a very natural or comfortable position for a greyhound due to how they're built, so we never bothered to teach him a 'sit' command. One day we were filling our gobs full of bourbon creams and all of a sudden ‐ *plop*, he sits his arse down and stares at us expectedly. Unreal. Fat shit.

This is a normal post Bit different from primates, it will vary.
I'm guessing a labrador?

This is a normal post Don't associate them with being overweight.

This is a normal post He's certainly not overweight by traditional dog standards.
But by greyhound standards he's a bit of a beefer.

This is a normal post Nice and shiny though.
If I took a photo in my house, someone might phone social services.
