If when I was young and skinny, I could leg press 600lbs. Now if later in life I balooned up to 500 or whatever does that mean everyday pulling my self up and walking im leg pressing 500 again?

    Fat guys that lose a lot of weight have massive calves. No amount of calf/ toe raises can compete with walking around with a hundred pounds or more of excess weight.

    Yeah, you’re carrying it. Your mass doesn’t have another way to get around with you

    That’s part of why people always lose lean mass when they lose weight. You no longer need that muscle and bone to move the weight around.
