A View to Sumo Wrestler Soup

Sports
Inspired, I decided to delve into the mysterious world of the sumo wrestler's diet. I'm sure you're familiar with the massive size of some of these athletes. You may think the sumo wrestler is just built that way but in fact, they go through an intense training schedule that also builds up their bulk.
