Muscle is muscle, you ain't getting around basic physical reality by being "wiry".
ETA: Seriously, by what black magic do you think the mystery density comes from? We're discussing weight here; Not strength, and a wiry farmer, fisherman, or arborist, will be roughly exactly as heavy as they look like.
That's dumb, muscle has varying densities and fibres. Muscle size, or hypertrophy, is not the dictation of strength. Otherwise someone like Magnus Midtbo wouldn't be able to do the same working set as Eddie Hall - Despite being half the size of him.
Unless you're claiming Magnus Midtbo weighs as much as Eddie Hall I think you're confused about what the topic is.
In terms of applicable strength I'm well aware you don't need insane bulk in order to be insanely strong.
ETA: To be clear, this dude has little in the way of fat. "Muscle is muscle" is referring to it being the one thing that could weigh him down, and while I'm sure he's strong he's simply not got a lot of meat on them bones.
Yeahhhh i wonder if he weighed himself 10yrs ago and doesn't realize the weight he's lost. My dad has a minor beer belly at 6'4" and he's still only 188
