Fitting in an MRI machine, No Way!

WTH? There has to be different sizes of MRIs right? I am a buck 90 and I BARELY squeezed into the machine this morning. My shoulders touched on both sides. I literally squeezed in as the sled slid into the tube. I am a little wide but not compared to you guys that are over 6 foot and carrying 250lbs of muscle. Hell, I was once around 220 and 10%bf. There would be no way I could have sat in that thing for 40 minutes if I was 30lbs heavier.

Some of you beasts on this board would NEVER fit in this thing. Then think of all the fat fucks out there. I mean, I look around and EVERYONE is fat these days! Odd that they would make a machine that only accommodates half of the population. Maybe they have to have different sizes machines for different size people?

A pic from a few pounds ago. A beast I ain't

Hopefully I wont need one, but that is good to know. Makes me think of a stone cold podcast and he walked out after 5 mins and had to reschedule another time and pounded a 6 pack to calm down.

Nope, no way, aint happening - i dont come close to fitting in these machines. I went to Yale because they supposedly have the biggest machines in the area but was still like cramming ten pounds of poo in a five gallon can. If i need an mri i request an open machine, sacrifices a bit of image quality though.

Hmmm there were some fat fucks in the waiting room. What do they do? scan one roll of fat at a time? Maybe if you are a slob they can push you in like Play-doh!

I have had several MRI's and those machines are really tight. I can't stand being in there, I have anxiety attacks and keep my eyes shut trying to focus on my breathing.

I’ve been in quite a few and I’m 6’2” and 280 and I haven’t had an issue. I usually fall asleep in them.

The newest ones are open MRIs and they don’t require them to lay in the tube.
