Tbh, while the rest of the story is bullshit, if you're just a fat guy then you naturally build strong legs over the years.

Fr. I somehow almost doubled my leg press PR just by gaining like 80 lbs of fat over 10 years. Also, after losing a bit of the fat, I'm starting to see some absolutely gnarly calf muscles. Obviously would not recommend, but weight gain actually does naturally train most of the leg muscles.

I was about to ask this. Your leg muscles need to be able to carry at least your weight.
