High Body Fat Composition

[J.Hensley]

I heard Rip use a word I had not ever heard before. I believe he called a great, big, fat guy "glommy." I'm either not spelling it correctly or glommy is a colloquial term.

Is it a bastardization of verb "glom", which can mean to stick together?

[Mark Rippetoe]

I made it up. All is well.

[Chiaki Nitya]

Glommy, as in the fat just sticks and hangs off 'em. I do like some glommy titles though.

[J.Hensley]

Gotcha. I garnered the meaning in the context, but wanted to check the spelling.

As the existence of Starting Strength confirms, fat guys do stick together

Yes, "glommy" is the official spelling of the word.
