True. He is stronger.. but we are splitting hairs now imo.
I dont buy that whole 'adding fat for leverage' unless we are talking elite lifters here. Skinny o-lifters can squat just fine. In order to 'bounce off your gut' you would need a pretty damn big gut.. I mean, some skinny 170lbs 6 feet tall kid is just always going to have a shitty squat no matter what way you put it haha.
