A list of reasons why fatties love "lifting" so much and why their accomplishments are fake I noticed that it's come up in several posts where they will brag about how much they can lift. Assuming their claims are even accurate, here's the big issues with them and why they don't mean shit Form - it is easy to "squat" a lot of weight when you're doing half or quarter squats. It's easier to deadlift when you're doing it with bad form (see this for some examples. And they simply post numbers or pictures where you can't judge their form. FUPA assistance - seriously. Related to the last point, their bulbous bodies prevent full extension. Bench pressing is much easier when your "chest" is much higher due to fat. Push ups are easier when there are two inches between your gut and the ground.  Permabulking - fats have a huge advantage in that they can essentially be on a permabulk. It makes muscle gain easier if you don't have to worry about putting on too much fat or having to do a cut later. Absolute vs relative - all numbers they post are absolute numbers (e.g. 300 lb deadlift). However, anyone who seriously lifts knows that performance is relative to your bodyweight. 300lbs is a 1.5-1.8x body weight lift to a shitlord but a 1x to an obeast. The former is a good number... the latter is terrible. Daily life is weight training - they are carrying around so much extra weight that simply walking or standing up is strength training. So yeah, they are going to build muscle especially in their legs (which is why they love leg presses so much). However, there is a reason why you don't weight train constantly... it's not good for you. And their joints are facing the consequences. Little stamina required - they mostly post 1 rep max or a 5x weight. Takes some strength but no endurance.  There's a reason you never see them post (good) running times. You can't bad-form your way into speed; your body weight will hurt you while running; it takes time and endurance to do. So lurking fats... if you ever want to prove you're fit, run a 10K outside in a reasonable time.  (Note: I'm not saying you're not fit if you can't run... just that you can BS lifting numbers but not running ones, outside of pure lying)
