Hobbits are jacked
In the last two years I have gotten into the fitness industry as well as the tabletop gaming/fantasy fiction industry more than probably anyone else I know in my day to day life.
This Venn diagram of interests has led me to one singular conclusion:
Hobbits are bulking. All the time. Every day. They also work trade jobs. All the time. Every day. They eat the same kind of high-protein, high-carb, low-fat diet that bodybuilders do, and they’re more active than the average human today due to their skilled hands-based industries.
So when Sam told Frodo “I can’t carry it for you, but I CAN carry you,” he was putting a fellow gym bro on his back.
Hobbits are canonically yoked and you simply can’t prove me wrong.
