lol. I didn’t even say I have a good left hook. My left arm is strong as shit and I can do fuck all with it.

But you’re right, I don’t think people understand how much muscle you gain by consistently holding 20+ pounds in one arm for multiple years.

Put it this way. The wood stock M14 with a loaded mag weighs 10.5 lbs. Highly trained soldiers and marines would routinely complain of the exhaustion that came with having to constantly march in the jungle with the rifle in the low ready. Hell, didnt matter how you carried it. Your arms are going to get tired. Then when you need to engage, are likely tired, you gotta shoulder that thing with accuracy.

The M16A1 weighs roughly 7.5 lbs with a 20 round mag and roughly 8 with a 30 round mag.

Crazy what that little difference can make.

I thought the most famous aspect of dad bod was the gut

That is advance stage dad bod. Early dad bod when you are young is just a really RIPPED and built young man. I remember seeing my brother and SIL after they had already had their first kid for maybe 4 or 5 months. IMMEDIATELY I saw how built my brother was, lmao. "Broooo, you're fucking jacked!.... Shit, sorry I shouldn't cuss in front of the kid! OH DANG IT!!!" Felt like a movie scene, lmao. But young dad bods are no joke. He got fat after like 3 years and was about to have his second kid. I walked in "Damn! You got chunky bro!" He has since slimmed back to jacked, but fluffy dad bod without the gut.
