Not quite that simple: Body doesn't relate only to size. It also relates
to endurance, general health (in resistance to toxins and pathogens), and
damage resistance ability. Size figures partly into toxin resistance, and
damage resistance, but a guy who is seriously... umm... "weight inclined"
;) isn't likely to have much in the way of endurance... That Body: 5 says
otherwise.
And it is possible (though highly improbable) to have strength without
endurance to match.
