Fat isn’t always fat. My dad was a professional gymnastic coach and we was fat looking. That didn’t mean he couldn’t lift you up and soon you around like a helicopter. He did it for a living lol
Strong people can look fat. Powerlifters, strongmen, shot putters, football linemen, and other athletes where really high strength are important tend to carry a lot of body fat, too.
Fat doesn’t mean strong, but very strong very often means “fat” looking.
Let’s see your average 300lb person do a pull-up. Or let’s see them deadlift 300lbs.
Sure their legs will be strong from carting around all that mass, but unless they’re actively strength training, that leg strength isn’t going to be as impressive as you think.
How much do you think a 300 lb person can lift? I guarantee it’s at least 300 lbs.
And I’m telling you it’s unlikely they can lift 300lbs. Deadlift, lunge, squat. Because that weight is in addition to the body weight they’re used to carrying. And even for bench, pull-up, or chin-up, they are unlikely to be able to complete even one rep because those require upper body and core strength, which are not naturally built just by dint of being obese.
Again my father was a professional gymnast who became a coach. “Complete one rep” on a pull up bar? He literally would swing circles on those bars, and the rings, and everything else lol. What are you talking about? He wrote a book on the maverick club. A pretty big deal in the gymnastic world back in the day.
I’m not sure if he was 300 lbs but muscle is heavy. Surely he was in the ballpark of it.
Why as you so stubborn that someone who looks fat can’t be athletic? You are wrong lol

You just mixed being strong with being fat. They are separate things.
You can be lean yet strong.
Just saying

I’m saying being strong and looking fat can go hand in hand. Yes you can be lean and strong.
Let me say it a bit slower for you.
My dad was a coach. If you saw him on the street you’d say he looked fat. He was in great shape and was well qualified to be a coach.
This meme missed the point that look fat and be strong and in shape. You can be more than qualified as a gym teacher and look fat.

Let’s see the average anyone.
That’s correct.
I’m just saying that the average 300lb person isn’t magically super strong.
No. They’re just normal strong, on account of regularly lifting large amounts of weight.
I’m sorry to be pedantic, but you said:

No you’re not.
If they’re just lifting their own weight?
You’re arguing nobody at 300 lbs can squat the bar?
It’s me again.
