Jesus? HOW DO THEY NOT MAKE THE CONNECTION? What am I missing? If you need to hire a welder to make you comfortable in a chair, STOP EATING! It'll be cheaper all around! Food is expensive and so is reinforcing furniture so it won't collapse under your bulk. If you can say you're "bulky" and it's not muscle, THERE'S A PROBLEM! Sorry for the mini rant but some things seem obvious!
