=== Strength Over Size (03:48) ===

[00:00:07]  Greetings, I thought to put on some clothes so I'm a bit more modest.
[00:00:13]  Don't ever say I'm not humble.
[00:00:16]  Anyway, I have meditated upon my own greatness and come up with the only reasonable course of action in regards to whether it's acceptable for guys to be fat or not.
[00:00:27]  And there are actually scenarios where there is acceptable to be a fat guy.
[00:00:33]  And that is if you are a powerlifter or a strongman.
[00:00:38]  And now, truth be told, I can actually admire these guys who sacrifice their perhaps aesthetics to obtain a higher level of strength.
[00:00:49]  And something that you need to realize, if you see a guy with abs or someone with a truly divine physique such as myself, it doesn't necessarily entail fitness.
[00:01:01]  Fitness is how well you can utilize your body.
[00:01:05]  So a guy who's fat, he still has plenty of muscles underneath that fat.
[00:01:11]  So a shredded guy might be a lot less fit.
[00:01:15]  A shredded guy just might have, you know, a low body fat, you know, with visible abs and everything, but perhaps he can't run particularly fast, particularly long, he can't fight, he can't wrestle, he can't lift heavy.
[00:01:28]  So you see, fitness isn't just how the body looks.
[00:01:32]  I mean, obviously, it is a good indication, but realize that even a pudgy looking guy can be extremely fit.
[00:01:40]  He can still perhaps have a good cardio, and he can probably be quite strong as well.
[00:01:45]  And when you see these strongmen, they've spent years upon years bulking so that they can attain a truly godlike level of strength.
[00:01:55]  And I mean, that is admirable, because realize that eating a lot of food is pleasurable to a certain point.
[00:02:03]  When you start to have to force yourself to eat, and I'm sure a lot of bulking bras can relate to this.
[00:02:10]  I mean, the food doesn't taste particularly well anymore, and you don't want to spend an hour eating each dinner because it's so much food to take in.
[00:02:20]  So I mean, some people say, oh, what a luxury it is to be bulking.
[00:02:25]  Yeah, it is like the first month or so, but after that, it becomes more another quest.
[00:02:32]  Like, the training session is hard and the eating session is also hard.
[00:02:36]  So, I mean, the diet, whether you're going up or down in weight, it can be arduous.
[00:02:42]  So, I do respect these fat powerlifters and these fat strongmen.
[00:02:47]  Despite me bashing fat individuals sometimes, with that, I bash the people who are fat just because they're lazy.
[00:02:55]  But the powerlifters and strongmen, they are fat because they are anything but lazy.
[00:03:00]  They are fat because they have made the sacrifice to obtain a higher level of strength.
[00:03:04]  And I mean, that is admirable.
[00:03:06]  I can definitely, even if I don't have that sort of, you know, bear physique, that is also quite glorious.
[00:03:12]  Imagine if you're a big Viking, you know, with a bit of a gut, but you still have that power.
[00:03:18]  So, you see, you can look respectable as a guy, even if you're fat, as long as you train really hard in the gym.
[00:03:25]  So, to conclude, when is it acceptable for a guy to be fat?
[00:03:28]  Yeah, if he trains strength-related sports.
[00:03:33]  Particularly then, powerlifting or strongman, because then you also need kind of a you know, a big gut.
[00:03:39]  My waist looks like an elf, basically, so I can't really be that good in strongman, because I would break in half, whereas these guys who are a lot bigger than I am, they can, you know, stomach that pressure.
[00:03:52]  Pun semi-intended, I suppose.

=== Fat Girls and Heresy (01:08) ===

[00:03:55]  But anyway, so that's my conclusion there.
[00:03:58]  Now, there is a huge difference between fat girls and fat guys.
[00:04:03]  Fat girls are the pinnacle of heresy.
[00:04:06]  And I'm not talking about older ladies who've had, you know, a couple of children, etc.
[00:04:10]  That's another story completely.
[00:04:12]  But a young girl who is fat, never tell them that's okay because it isn't.
[00:04:18]  Just keeping it real here, I'm not out to put anyone down.
[00:04:21]  I'm trying to help people.
[00:04:22]  I'm trying to help these young girls so that they can obtain some sort of good man in the end.
[00:04:29]  Because fat feminists will tell them that they deserve a good man no matter what, but a good man will not want a fat woman.
[00:04:36]  Simple as that.
[00:04:37]  So it is not a double standard because it's not the same thing.
[00:04:41]  Simple as that.
[00:04:42]  So if you're a girl and you're fat, there is no excuse for you.
[00:04:45]  If you're a guy and you're fat, it's acceptable if you are really fucking strong.
[00:04:51]  So anyway, that was my divine teachings for the day.
[00:04:54]  I hope you gained some additional insight and enlightenment.
[00:05:00]  And who am I?
[00:05:02]  They call me the Great Lion.
