Actually, this isn’t totally wrong, even if the comic is obviously a comic.
Fat people (at least, the ones who aren’t bedridden) DO tend to be pretty significantly stronger than skinny people that aren’t doing enough exercise, and it’s literally for this reason. Carrying all that fat around genuinely does provide some training.
Don’t get me wrong though, someone who’s doing proper exercise will obliterate both of them, but it’s still an interesting fact.
Can confirm, I lost 30kg over 2 years. My upper body strength is coming along a lot slower than my legs and core because my legs and core have fat guy conditioning. It’s like I spent the previous decade living my life in a weighted vest.
It’s also why building a routine and developing your endurance and lung capacity is so much more important than just “lifting bigger weights” if you’re trying to be healthier. Your body is already doing hard work, you can get better results with helping it work more efficiently instead of just pushing it to exhaustion.

Arguably, older individuals, and women in particular, would greatly benefit from lifting heavy. It helps fight off osteoporosis and keeps you muscle strong enough for everyday movement. Cardio on the other hand does not.
Ahh, the Trunks vs Goku methodologies.
Yeah, ever see the calves of people who are super overweight and then get fit? They’re like thicker than my thighs.
They’re just getting all the leg days in life out of the way first
Jesus Christ, that’s actually genius!
Or would be if not for all of the potentially permanent side effects…
Also, a bunch of the living days too
Also their unclogged arteries days.
Fat people generally have a decent amount of muscle underneath all those fatty fat rolls.
More like weight-lugging.
Love that troll face in the 2nd panel.
He so fat he actually has arms and legs!
Follow your dreams. You can reach your goals. I’m living proof. Beefcake. Beefcake!
