How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
@Woke AF
What VonMeister is advocating is the HAAS movement: Healthy At Any Size.
It is the latest "It's OK to be fat (it's actually healthier)" trends.
Surprising you're unaware because "It's OK to be fat (it's actually healthier)" is one of the cornerstones of woke philosophy.
'Health at Every Size' Is Changing the Way You Think About Health
Dietitians break down the importance of the Health at Every Size approach to health care and the key HAES principles. Plus, they share tips on how to adopt a Health at Every Size perspective.www.shape.com
Why Everything You've Been Told About Weight May Be Wrong
Medical weight bias can have dire consequences, say Health at Every Size advocates.www.goodhousekeeping.com
Eventually you come full circle.Hmmm, that's weird. Now narcissists are advocates for acceptance and inclusion?
And the ideologically Woke believe physical strength is the most important thing in life?
WTH, have I been Rip(ed) Van Winkled?
As Doug noted, getting fat is also anabolicEventually you come full circle.
Fat people tend to be pretty strong, they often have to build muscle to be able to carry all the weight.
No, he's not. Read more carefully. We're talking about trade-offs. Read the article. One Off and Von Meister have posted several articles about frailty being a killer - loss of muscle and bone mass leading to a catastrophic injury when an old person falls. This is is what lead to teh downward spiral of my maternal grandfather. There are also the mental aspects of being able to do less and less as you age because of loss of muscle mass, some of which can be remediated.@Woke AF

One thing I've noticed is I rarely see old, frail males in the ICU.No, he's not. Read more carefully. We're talking about trade-offs. Read the article.

Are they fat and weak or fat weightlifters?One thing I've noticed is I rarely see old, frail males in the ICU.
Pretty much all of them are fat.
The overwhelming majority of them have had a hip or two replace, and of course the knees.
An old, frail male is generally "Wow" because they are ideal - lightweight - and such a rarity.
Yep. If you sat on your couch and did nothing but drink soda and eat chips and gained 50 pounds some of that would be muscle tissue. It has nothing to do with carrying the weight.As Doug noted, getting fat is also anabolic
But carrying it might make you hold onto the muscles gains.Yep. If you sat on your couch and did nothing but drink soda and eat chips and gained 50 pounds some of that would be muscle tissue. It has nothing to do with carrying the weight.
6’ 185 around 22% body fat last time I checked. Haven’t weighed myself in a couple months but I’m noticeably leaner in the gut, so body fat is probably below 20%.How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
Frailty is not a word you use alone to diagnose. If you're talking about sarcopenia, this is found more often in the underweight aging population. There are other frailties that would be more common to the obese population, who usually die of other causes before they are diagnosed with sarcopenia.One thing I've noticed is I rarely see old, frail males in the ICU.

I have noticed that in men being fat goes along with having a lot of muscle mass.Are they fat and weak or fat weightlifters?
But once the adaptation is complete it's done. Plus most people at this level of obesity don't move around very much. There isn't a remarkable strength adaptation to the physical demands of being obese.If you are not enjoying the magic of progressive overload you are missing out on one of life's great pleasures.
But carrying it might make you hold onto the muscles gains.
If you wear a 35 pound weight vest for 24 hours it's going to trigger adaption.
I used the word frail only as a reply to another post using the word frail.Frailty is not a word you use alone to diagnose.

The physical frailty you are clumsily trying to post about is sarcopenia. This frailty phenotype is diagnosed via a number of variables....unintentional weight loss; self-reported exhaustion; low energy expenditure; slow gait speed; weak grip strength, ability to stand up unassisted from a chair etc. Using these metrics a physician would make a diagnosis on the totality of markers...not just one. These characteristics are not clustered or unique in the obese population.
The most important thing in life is shelter and the ability to put food on the table.Mark Rippetoe's book, Starting Strength begins by saying that physical strength is the most important thing in life, and this is true whether we want it to be or not.
Muscle tissue is not strength. Muscle tissue alone does not improve your health outlook. I don't know of anyone who would make this claim.I have noticed that in men being fat goes along with having a lot of muscle mass.
In women about half of the fat tend to have a lot of muscle mass - way more than than women who are not overweight.
Just anecdotal observations, of course, but I can remember when I first started to doing this I was always surprised how much muscle fat people had compared to your average person.
I have also noticed a lot of fat people lately claiming "weightlifting" as a hobby which I find odd, but then again it makes sense because their joints are already so bad even at a young age.
There is generally a correlation in the context we're talking about here.Muscle tissue is not strength.
