Where is the 12 lbs of muscle?(Celtics hype machine)

[celticsclay]

muscle weighs 3x more than fat.

Here's a visual:

Well, technically, it is impossible for muscle to "weigh" more than fat, the correct characterization is that muscle is denser than fat. 

Kind of like the joke of which will hit the ground first if dropped from the top of a building, 1 ton of feathers, or 1 ton of rocks.  The answer of course is that they will hit at the same time.  Although it may take a heck of a lot more feathers to equal 1 ton than it will rocks, if they weigh the same, they will fall at the same rate.

  We all knew what DL meant and the picture backed him up 

 I hear you though, "what weighs more a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks"

Its the bricks right  . Awesome picture guys definetely a nice litte reminder why im trying to trim up. Does not make fat look too cool haha

I love that I accidently started a physics debate in here.

The pound of feathers/pound of bricks thing is true, but only in a vacuum.

The muscle weighs more than fat thing is false, it just has more density.

Density= Mass/Volume
Weight=Mass/Gravity

DUMMIES!

Weight/mass does NOT affect the effects of gravity. Not a good example. Gravity on earth is 9.8 m/(sec * sec). Air resistance will make feathers fall slower though.

Sorry, but since we are having a physics debate I just had to throw in that mass DOES in fact affect gravity.  Gravity changes based on the mass of both objects involved, it just so happens that it takes a lot of mass to really change the the rate enough to make much of a difference.
