I don't see any female...

Unless we talk about Brittany Grittner or whatever it's name.

Well yeah because 10 kg = 22 lbs and 5 kg = 11 lbs...

I'm not saying most would fail, but probably a large percentage.

Fail.

Just kidding, but it does sound a bit weird

Ha what did you do to them, color balance + for red and remove greens and blues?

~300 lbs? Excuse me? So I could squat ~600 lbs?

People get fat in the long term from low calorie diets once exposed to food. These people probably have crushed metabolisms and may experience the same phenomenon once exposed to unlimited amounts of food. People with unhealthy metabolisms do not gain massive amounts of fat if exposed to unlimited amounts of food. This is what all the overfeeding studies have shown

Jimmy Moore of livin la vida low carb is a great example. Lost like hundred pounds form low carb dieting, gained 60 back after 2 years.

Bodybuilders are another great example. [http://scottabel.blogspot.com/2011/04/self-destructive-nature-of-willpower.html]http://scottabel.blogspot.com/2011/04/self-destructive-nature-of-willpower.html[/http://scottabel.blogspot.com/2011/04/self-destructive-nature-of-willpower.html]



Some science: http://www.cswd.org/docs/ltdietstudy.html

You're over complicating things.  Weight loss and maintenance of weight loss is a matter of motivation vs discipline.  Motivation = a short fiery emotion that makes you want to do something.  Discipline = ability to stick to something, and not chicken out.  Americans satisfy themselves everyday ASAP, so how do you expect them to maintain a diet if they can't avoid satisfying themselves.  If you have discipline you will keep the weight off, if you don't, you don't deserve to keep the weight off.

I don't get the metabolism stuff.  Of course you will gain weight if you start eating more food than normal.  I think it's common sense.  People aren't fit in America because they're undisciplined, and stupid.

That's just what I think.

are you insinuating that most Americans are dumb and/or out of shape?

You might be on to something here.

Also did a 480 kg squat

One of the spotters was kind of standing with his feet right under the plates... not really smart if you ask me
