 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Kyle, has a fat man recently: 1) Bested you in strength? 2) Bullied you? 3) Broken your heart? I feel the motivation for this thread inevitably comes down to one of those three. | ||

Am I missing the point | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | kyle said:Random questions - Hypothetically lets say someone gains 20kg of pure fat, which helps him cut down range of motion on his benches and bounce off the hole in squats but has gained no muscle, said person puts 30kg on his powerlifting total, is he now a stronger person? Yes, he is now stronger. He has gone about it in an inefficient way though. | ||

Member 4923, 1795 posts | No he is not stronger, the extra weight lifted is due to the shorter range of motion, not a strength increase. | ||
