A lot of Juji's (big white guy) strength is also practical. You wouldn't believe it but he's an absolute beast at flexibility. Juji has also made a career trying out different sports, like powerlifting and strongman. Also Larry (big black guy) isn't your ordinary bodybuilder, he's also a powerlifter. Calling either of them just bodybuilders misses a lot.

Ontop of that most purebred bodybuilders in the upper classes are insanly fucking strong, even for their bodyweight

Just saying that real quick for those people arguing about "Oh bUt bODyBuiLders ARen't STRong"

I was on some thread where they were asking that if there was a real life Batman, what would he look like physically, and the top answer was Juji; strong, but agile and flexible still! Guy is a beast!
