Right? Muscle is soft when it's not contracted. It's like fats don't understand that when you see pictures of fit folk showing off their muscles, they're usually flexing to show the definition. Muscles don't look or feel that way in a state of rest.  Although thinking about it I have a new theory on why fats think muscle is hard all the time. No self respecting shitlord/lady wants to be touched by an obeast so when it happens they usually tense up, contracting the muscles. The only time they feel real muscle is in a panicked state.
