Let’s see the average anyone.
Sure their legs will be strong from carting around all that mass
That’s correct.

I’m just saying that the average 300lb person isn’t magically super strong.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
No. They’re just normal strong, on account of regularly lifting large amounts of weight.

I’m sorry to be pedantic, but you said:
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.

No you’re not.

It’s me again.
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.
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
