Could one just walk around doing whatever while wearing a weight vest to simulate being a fat guy and thus gain their power?

Do you mean their power of juicy calves? Probably. But you would also need eat more than usual since your metabolism will think you're a fatso and you will have a higher NEAT.

As for evidence, this anecdotal test (in the reverse direction) worked quite well for a bodybuilder https://weightology.net/the-use-of-weighted-apparel-during-contest-prep/ .
He wore a weighted vest and added any weight he lost to stay at the same weight as when he started. So he was able to consume the same ammount of calories every day without needing to lower it due to metabolical adaption. According to him he wore the weights for 90% of the day.

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Hit 9 pull-ups yesterday. 💪 My goal was 10 by the end of the month. Maybe I'll take a couple extra caffeine pills Friday and try to bang em out. If nothing else I can now do 3 sets in an hypertrophy range so hopefully that'll start paying off soon. My poor lats are lagging without a pulldown.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

I take a preworkout with citrulline malate and I enjoy the pump that I'm told the additive is responsible for, but I found two things: 1) I don't need preworkout to maintain energy or stamina at the gym and 2) it's like drain on my bowel if I haven't eaten anything (and I often don't until after I return.

Bought some malate from the local popeye's today and have been eating a protein bar and glass of milk before heading out. Hoping for a similar effect pump-wise, however I'm aware there are other benefits from taking malate.

It's probably just snake oil lmao

Pretty sure it helping with a pump is legit. Whether or not that actually helps with hypertophy in the long run is another story though that I'm not sure about.

I haven't used a real preworkout in ages. Maybe I drink a coffee or an energy drink beforehand once in a blue moon. Are there still formulas that aren't just basically caffeine, creatine, beta alanin and citruline malate? I mean I guess there are still places that like to mix in your illegal substances or what not for some reason, but those are probably not that common anymore.

It's a slippery slope from here on out, next thing you know you'll be working out 6 days a week and trying to calculate which muscles haven't hit your maximal recoverable volume yet.

Goon speed sir.

I have to stop myself from basing my preworkout purchases on how cool 13 year old me would find the tub. Or ones with stupid names, like "Not4Pussy". That one came in "DEATH APPLE" flavour so you know it will be good.

The guy that ran Chaos and Pain workout supplements used to work out at my old gym and he was pretty much exactly what you would expect from a guy that sells products cslled "cannibal agro" and "cannibal kraken"

If by gaining their power you mean getting the same joint pain fat people suffer from due to carrying a bunch of extra weight on their frame 24/7 then yes.

Risk is not worth it until there’s a vaccine in your veins

Brett Contreras the glute builder (tm) got Corona and he posted a story saying corona sucks his dick and it’s not too bad, and today he posted another update saying he feels like poo poo and is not doing great and it might take longer to recover than he thought

I’m going into a home gym, just basic compound exercises, the time savings alone might be worth it. Honestly not the same as a gym but beats dying

The question is, is the joint pain from being fat itself or is it from the fact most fat people don't do anything so any activity is a novel stress producing a pain response?

He was probably insane and like really aggro. He once came up to me and started curling and yelling "this is what a man looks like" and I just burst out laughing and I thought he was going to fight me he got so angry. The gym owner also kept getting pissed cause the guy would have all his private "supplements" delivered to the gym.

Like all through your day of doing what? If you sit in a chair all day there will be little power. If you're gonna go hiking try it first without the vest.
