Holy shit!

I would be impressed if he wasn’t a complete fat fuck. He needs to go back to 195 or 250 lbs where he didn’t looks like ass. Why get so fat for some strength? But yeah it’s a crazy lift haha.

He is a fan of Kyriakos Kapakoulak - nicknamed "the bloatlord" by the internet community ( 6'1" , 440lbs )

What do you think is the point of diminishing returns when it comes to fat/strength? You see some fat and strong powerlifters but it often seems the fella could be just as strong if he wasn't that fat.

Powerlifter George Hechter comes to mind.
From 1985 to 1987, he dropped 107,5 pounds ( went from 350 to 242,5 )
After his weight loss, he managed to add 5 pounds to his deadlift ( 821,2 to 826,2 ).
His other lifts went all down.
His best single-ply results were :
•Pre-weigh loss in 1985 ( bw 347,5 and 353,8 )
-Squat : 957,5
- Bench : 584,2
- DL : 821,2
•Post weight loss in 1987 ( bw 242,5 lbs )
-Squat : 865,3
-Bench : 556,6
- DL : 826,2

I don’t remember the exact weights but the great Jon Kuc lifted at well over 300lbs then would come down to 242 and lift almost as much weight

That's a very good question, Skeletor. My only certain answer is "I don't know", but I can speculate a little:
If I recall correctly, Brian Shaw was 450-lb at the 2016 Arnold Pro Strongman.
Meanwhile, Ed Coan weighed in at 240-lb in 1998 when he totaled 2,463 in a sanctioned powerlifting meet.
I would tend to think that extra body weight is hugely correlated with strength, but specifically for Strongman, 15-25% body fat is optimal; over 25% and you lose mobility...under 15% and you put yourself at injury risk.
For static lifts, I think more body weight is a more clear advantage/correlation.
But you ultimately pose a good question that is difficult to answer...
For combat sports, I don't think being over about 230-lb is necessary to be the #1 fighter.
For Strongman, 450-lb Brian Shaw is probably stronger than 350-lb Brian Shaw...but by how much?
You asked when diminishing returns kick in, and that's an excellent question.
IMO, the guy in the OP could probably lose 150-lb of body weight, and still overhead press 420-lb.
What does he even weigh? He must be 400+?
So he's adding 50%+ body weight to get a sub-20% increase in strength, right? Although I'm just guessing.
I bet we could map/chart this, and get an idea.
If we took the totals of all weight classes and charted them, we could determine how much body weight percentage [%] increase resulted in what strength percentage [%] increase, then get a more specific answer.
But IMO, this guy could drop 150-lb and still be powerful AF.

I love watching his videos on youtube. Reading the comments is even better.

"Cmon baby, lets do the twist...
Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys... Sound like shit"....

Strong but an absolutely fucking disgusting looking obese piece of stinking shit.
-
Should be lit on fire
-
supposed to be 545 lbs.
-
turning heads at the beach
and quite a few stomachs as well
-
Strong no doubt but if he was in the Olympics when they had the clean and press he would get all red lights. Doubt he could clean 400lbs let alone press it from the required full range.

Weird that Paul andersons bench was 625 but could only do 300 11 times.

I think the last entry there is saying he did a "one-arm dumbbell bench press" 300x11.
Odd that he could to that with 240x40 but only 300x11.
Didn't know they made 300-lb DBs.

Haha I’ve seen him arguing in the comments a few times one I seen he was telling a bloke who had said something along the lines of “I can shoulder press half my body weight too” saying nobody will know he lifted the bloke was in stitches saying believe me nobody who sees you outside the gym thinks you lift either. How can that fat fuck think he looks like he lifts ffs

Anderson is one of those weird cases. Not much film, lot of lifting on odd contraptions, and a lot of good ole boy "that sure looks heavy" guessing at weights with his lifts, and a lot of "I remember". He got a lot of passes because he was a nice guy and did a lot of charity work.
For instance he gets credited with a #300+ pound shoulder press, but it was really what was known as a side press -

To his credit, a lot of the claims for his strength he never made, they were from neighbors and friends, etc....

Fortress has no issue with a strength athlete being what many on Getbig would call fat (in truth, most of these examples are chunky or “beefy”, not fat), but this feller is FAT AS FUCK.
