Hands shoulder-width apart. Back arched. Eyes level with the bar. Shoulder blades touching. The weight plummets as I struggle to manage the load. Just as the bar hovers over my chest, muscles fire like a well-rehearsed symphony across my upper body, providing the force necessary to wrestle with gravity.

because you are fat does not mean you are unhealthy (Brabazon 2006). Weight has nothing to do with your fitness level, it does not mean you can run or lift more/less than the skinner/fatter version of yourself (Brabazon 2006).

A sandstone block weighing 315 pounds (143.5 Kg), with a carved out handgrip, was found at Olympia (Figure 6). The stone bore the engraving of the inscription, “Bybon son of Phola, has lifted me over his head with one hand.” another stone, that was even larger (1056 pounds, 480 Kg), found on the island of Santorini, had the inscription, “Eumastas, the son of…
