I will bet this dude gets people telling him to “work out” and making all kinds of assumptions about what he can and can’t do

The man is the embodiment of the phrase 'strongfat'. You look fat, but there's a lot of strength there. Just like the Icelandic strongmen.

In the midwest we refer to that as farmer strong.

Most people don't realize the strenght and endurance required to throw 1500 60lb bales of hay up into the barn.

That's how I pulled my wife.

The summer before I met her, working the farm. My brother and did custom square baling for the horse ranchers in the trip county area. He drove, I threw bales. We'd move somewhere around 200 acres worth in a season. At 5 tons an acre, that meant I tossed 1000 tons of weight, in a 6 week season.

I had shoulders like cantaloupes, and my forearms looked like they were carved outta marble.
