How fucking strong you have to be in order to be fat. as a big dude carrying 300 pounds around at all time has caused me to have some big ass muscles under those layers. How fucking strong you have to be in order to be fat How fucking strong  Not very. That's why they shamble. That's why they're always sweating; it's not just heat, it's their body screaming in effort and burning so much energy to support life because they're not taking care of themselves. They have knock-knees because, surprise, they're fucking weak. That's part of why they have so many respiratory issues and skeletal muscle problems, especially around the lumbar spine. A 300 pound dude, unless he's quite literally 300lbs of mostly muscle, is almost never all that strong, and is especially weak in the terms of strength:weight ratio. This is why, even after a minimal expenditure of effort, they're always sore for days. Or they hurt something just "running" halfway down a driveway. Once. So, I'm just going to go ahead and call bullshit on the "big ass muscles under those layers." Nope. That's just fat, visceral fat, and more fat. Edit: Cut out a bunch of the post that looked an awful lot like a humblebrag "me tough guy" type shit. It still gets the point across.
