  You just mixed being strong with being fat. They are separate things.

  You can be lean yet strong.

  Just saying

    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.

    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.

    How much do you think a 300 lb person can lift? I guarantee it’s at least 300 lbs.

      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.

        That’s correct.
