I went to Planetfitness in Florida a couple of times during the previous week. There were lots of big, strong 300 pound guys there. They seemed to think that I seemed fairly weak until I started doing bodyweight exercises and then they seemed to decide that I was pretty strong for a flyweight. Just my impressions in a "new" country. Dips, pullups and single leg squats are pretty easy to do for me and I weigh under 200 pounds.
As an aside. I was standing in line at the security check at Orlando airport yesterday and there was an unusual number of enormous people standing in front of me. To my right there was an Arabian looking guy who was around 6'6". In front of me there were two white dudes, one was about 6'7" and looked like he weighed about 500 pounds. To his right was another guy who was about the same height and had the largest upper body that I have ever seen. Meaning he had extremely short legs and extremely wide shoulders, not that his muscles were unusually large. Somewhere in front of those two was a woman who was about 6'9" and somewhere in front of her a guy who was close to 7'. For a moment I felt dwarfed in my 6'2" frame. Not what I had expected after reading that the average American male is about 5'9".
