You're probably going to run into fats early on in Muay Thai. Just listen to your coach, work hard, and consume all the material you can to advance to the fighters' class/group or whatever your local gym calls it and you'll be away from nearly all of them.

Thanks dude, long time no see. I assume they can't handle leg kicks because ''muh knees''.

Rock climbing or rappelling. I’d add surfing, but you’ll have to wade through fat asses on the beach to do it.

I do muay thai 3-4 times a week. If you go to a real gym that beats you over the head with cardio, you won't find fatties. If you go to a mcdojo you will.

Mcdojos are rare for Muay Thai aren't they?
[–] KorvusKorvidae ago
For muay thai alone yeah. Most places will have Muay thai in combination with other martial arts and if they are shitty with those, their thai classes will be shitty too.

I haven't seen any hamplanets rollerblading. I assume it's primarily because they just can't squeeze their elephant legs into the boot.

There are fats in cycling. GOD there are fats in cycling. Doesn't matter if it's MTB, road, CX, track, you have fats.... in lycra. The good news is their power to weight ratio is like 0.04 so you can usually drop them pretty quick unless it's a group ride. Usually, after a time, they shrink a bit, but cycling goes hand-in-hand with post-ride pastries and beer so they actually rarely reach human size. Even if they do, once winter is over, they've managed to pork right up again. I don't even know how someone can gain that much weight in a period of 4 months even if they don't ride CX and track in the fall/winter
That's because the bike takes the weight of the person's structure.
If you have a lifestyle where you do something like chin-ups regularly, your body intuitively knows that if you eat past a certain point, you are only making it harder for yourself to lift during your next workout. With a bike your body is just trying to build as big an energy tanks as possible, it doesn't matter if it is a gut.
I have a friend who has been in great shape his whole life. He loves to hike and climbs mountains all the time. The only time I ever saw him with a pot belly was when he spent a few months bicycling East to West across North America. His body was doing everything it could to create a calorie surplus and there was no negative consequence to having too much because the bike takes the weight.

Except for the fact that weight plays a HUGE part in every single form of cycling in the world. If you want to excel or make it up that hill faster than the guy next to you, cutting weight is the best way to ensure that. Pro teams have literal starvation camps you could be sent on and if you don't make weight then no, you won't be racing in the spring classic you has your heart set on. Most high performance bikes have a weight limit of 230lbs anyway. The entire sport is about marginal gains. Want to increase your power output and up your FTP? Cut weight, fatty.
If your friend gained weight while riding he basically just managed to go full retard with a sport where I burn 850kcal+ during our 1hr30min morning team workout

Lap swimming has no fatties, but waterparks are full of them.
