However they have way more muscle mass, for they not just need to be heavy but they have to move heavy. And they also have to be quick when necessary, although not all can pull sidesteps and spins well. The most notable difference when we look at them, that how the "average" severely obese person's arms and legs puffy, but the rikishi's arms are thin, and their legs are very muscly. Their fat deposits are their bellies and tits. And even that ain't that big as those who are called severely obese.
