While we're on the subject of excuses
Why do fat people always carry on about how they can't pull big because they are fat, yet there are hundreds of examples of the fattest of strongmen that pull in excess of 900lb?
Extending from that, why do good deadlifters say that their proportions are the reason for their shitty bench and vice versa when said strongmen press overhead in excess of 200kg?
Why do people say they are too fat to do a single pull-up yet no-one would ever say they are too small to bench 500lb?
