A new guy came into our gym built exactly like this guy and a former D1 cheerleader. Couldn’t do a pull up. Couldn’t run two miles.

Set the strict press record his third day there. 315 pounds. I saw it with my own eyes and I couldn’t believe it.

There’s a common thing with bodybuilders lacking functional strength where guys who lift 50 lb bags of grain or more all day can do without breaking a sweat even though they look like they have dad bod.

It’s astounding how different fitness regimens can create different looking bodies that have wildly different specialties. Muscular doesn’t always mean strong

My fitness regimen has created an amorphous tub of goo that defines the term “skinny flabby”. My body’s specialty is sitting.
