This is not the place to give any measurements, so I’ll just say I was fat 7 months ago and I’m not anymore.
I put on a lot of muscle mass while losing quite some fat, so I can lift rather heavy (on my own perspective), but when I mock my friends about lifting more than them even though they’ve been training for years they all go “well, you used to be fat” or “that’s easier for you because you were bigger” and I have come to understand that’s just how it works because of the Internet too, but I don’t really know why.
I don’t know if it’s the language causing a misunderstanding here, but when I say “mock” I mean we joke with each other playfully in a way that everyone’s comfortable with.

Fat people have a surplus of nutrients with which to build muscle. Very lean people have to constantly be managing their diet and insuring that they’re getting supplementary nutrition for their muscle growth to build from. That’s why the “bulking” and “cutting” cycle is such a popular and effective way of casual bodybuilding.
