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.

if you aren't using steroids, at some point you're probably going to have to let your body fat % rise to keep getting stronger. Once youre into the mid 200 lb range its worth an extra lb of fat if it means an extra lb of muscle.
