I wonder about this. I'm a generally big guy, not obese, but I am a little on the fat side. What I've been wondering about is a lack of strength I struggle with. I am about 6'2 and I am built like a goddamn basketball player (despite my hate of basketball because I am a wrestler) although most basketball players are slightly less fat and slightly stronger. My arms are extremely long but my legs are ever the longer as I cannot reach my toes placing my arms and legs straight out. My body fat is about 21%. Now to talk about the strength problem. Yesterday, I did a 7/7/11 work out for wrestling and my bench on that workout was only 85 pounds. I can bench about 115 at the most. I can squat about 245, but it's closer to 155 if you want to get picky about technique and depth. I have trouble performing a push-up correctly. Usually the technique for me is drop down in the same manner you would do a down-up, and pushing up really slowly, back most of the time involved. Yet there are guys who are a lot stronger who live less healthier lifestyles than me. I generally do a lot of long-distance running , except now when I'm likely to fall on ice. I recently have quit drinking pop and eating most forms of candy. I eat a lot, but it's mostly nutritious food. I can't say I'm an avid lifter but I do lift usually in physical education and I lifted for most of the summer. Yet, doing so, I can't seem to gain any strength. I am really confused on this and I would like advice from those who are experts on the transformation of the body.
