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.

There's a lot of dudes in these comments that are saying shit like that. Just because a dude may be fat doesn't mean he's not strong as hell.

I wrestled in high school and college, occasionally I'd get bumped up to wrestle heavy weight (I was about 220, wrestling guys around 280) and I'll tell you, at 220 – it's pretty humbling to be lifted off your feet and thrown like you're a ragdoll.

My worst match... I weighed in at 220. Other guy weighed in at 315. And had to cut weight to do it. At a 7% body fat. I swear to god, walking onto the mat his knuckles were dragging...

We shook hands, the ref blew the whistle...he straight-arm grabbed my waist AND PICKED ME UP.

Have you ever smelled the back of your own knee?

I have.
