      Because they are too fat and unfit from sitting on their moving fossil fuel powered sofa all day.

            No, it isn’t. A significant number of people could never move that conventionally, or possibly in any other form.

            Even among competing strongment and powerlifters you have to have a certain luck with your baseline genetics–and even lucky smaller lifters may have problems.

            Some of my biggest movements are over a thousand pounds. Many competing strong men will never reach that number on any particular lift. And you know what? I bike for shit and do cardio for shit.

            It’s irresponsible to pretend that anyone who cannot commit themselves to impressive feats of physical activity is just fat and lazy.
