big but feathery

[hittman]

i have a friend who is relatively big in comparison with me, he's lean and cut but weighs around the same as me? what is going on here? in height i've only got about 2 inches on him so i don't know why he weighs this amount

Muscle is denser than fat. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat will both weigh the same, but the muscle will take up less volume. Make sense?

are you surprised he doesn't weight more, or less?

suprised he doesn't weigh more

well in that case, ceebs observation is backwards. Who knows, maybe his muscles arent really that dense? lack of bone density?
