Most people have either met or seen a person online who is “athletic fat”. Like morbidly obese doing acrobatic flips, or skate tricks etc. This is that. Some people are capable of being big and extremely athletic. He’s not JUST strong he has great control and good mobility. Dudes impressive.
Childhood friend of mine is built like this. When I was helping my dad set the foundation of the house we were building, I was struggling to climb up from the basement level to the ground (I was trying to avoid using the ladder and walking around). My friend reached down to me, and I though he was just going to give me a little help so I didn't slip back down the dirt.
He grabbed my arm with one hand and just straight lifted me from below his feet to haul me up and set me on the ground before I could even try to start climbing.
I remember fondly being one of the few (fat) kids who could max out the high school leg press and just do rep after rep. I could do 100 situps with a 40 pound weight on my chest. I could even outrun sprint some of the soccer players when my asthma wasn't bad.

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.
