I don't think so. My understanding is that being overweight always makes some health problems more likely, especially long-term. Even if it's muscle. And that's not even considering the effects of taking excessive growth hormones / steroids etc common to body building. Being fit is something else altogether, and produces better health outcomes AIUI.

It's really hard to become overweight from muscle without steroids.

  Obese, maybe, but not overweight. Overweight at 5’10” is around 170 lbs. That’s not even close to steroid territory.

    That is still pretty hard to achieve with low bodyfat.

      It takes a few years of consistent but not intense activity to reach, and then is quite easy to maintain.
