Yep, and I know quite a few very fit 275-pound men who work real labor jobs. The answer is upgrade the safety equipment, not tell men to be more dainty.

I would guess most of them put on more muscle working chores and jobs on the rig. No one there has much time to sit around and get fat, no one goes to a rig to have a sedentary vacation. Muscle is 5 times as dense as fat so it wont be as visually noticeable as a large fat spare tire of fat across the midsection.
