I think you have to be a man to understand how the body feels like. Its just designed to lift and pull things. So you feel strong in those areas without doing anything.
There’s also something to be said for the strength required to constantly operate a heavy body. I used to do a lot of community dance, and it’s so, so much easier to do that at a low weight.
Immediately post COVID, I danced for the first time in ~18 months after having gained probably 10-15 kg, and I was fucking wrecked. Since then, I’ve lost the weight, but I’m now a smoker. It’s still so much easier to dance now, and I don’t have a way to test it, but I would be surprised if I’m in better cardiovascular health now than I was then. I’m just lifting less weight with every movement.
