    When I was in the Army I was told I was negative bouyant. I was told it was due to bone density. So I have to work very hard when I am in the pool.

    That pic actually looks a bit fake now that I'm seeing it a while later.

    Also, RDJ - the abs have very little margins for hypertrophy, they don't get a lot bigger.
    They grow with the rest of you.

    Yes, probably because it's heavier.

    Ditto, a heavy person has a higher terminal velocity than a lighter person. In basic physics everything accelerates at the same rate but that's because they don't take air resistance into account. (Weight doesn't apply here though) When you add a medium things change but there's also buoyancy which plays a much larger role than weight in this case. If it's the same shape but heavier; it's denser which is the key (as stated before). A warship weighing several tons floats while a stone weighing less than a pound will sink.

    Why doesn't that work out of the water then? If you drop two identically sized rocks, one weighing a ton, the other weighing a kilo, they'll hit the ground at the same time. Why should it be different underwater?

    It's about density not weight fat is far less dense than muscle and bone. Fat people do float!
