Depends on how you define weak. I've worked out with some wiry guys who had incredible cardio strength and had no problems with body weight movements.

I've also known physical labourers who could work all day without tiring, with these physiques.

So I think weakness isn't predictable based solely on appearances.

@MeAgain like fighting with someone muscular?

@Genelia Exactly! I think everybody excels at what they train for regardless of what they look like

@MeAgain Some of those mason helpers that toss mortar and stacks of brick all day ,I lifted sheet rock all day and I wasn't much bigger
a lot of construction workers tend to be alcoholics and they don't eat a lot
but they will amaze you how strong they are

@rckt148 Have you every heard the term "old man strength"? I knew a retired heavy duty mechanic, easily in his mid 60's, lean, maybe 135lbs, who could out lift, pull, push everyone who ever challenged him. A lifetime of hard labour makes you really strong

@MeAgain I have a severe back problems ,I am 60 ,but my upper body is what I use to lift myself ,,taking as much strain off of my back as much as I can ,so I am lifting my whole body with just my arms most of them time just to get up

these kids can't out lift me ,arm wrestle me ,or carry the load I can all day
and working from my knees ,I still out work any of them
I just hung a room full of sheet rock by myself ,,all they could ask was how
I am wise grasshopper ,,I use my head ,,and its a secret
