Can someone explain how the FUG being fat gives you better "leverage" in powerlifting/moving weight in general?

1) Well, IDK about actual leverage, but I've seen some real fat ones with very short BP ranges of motion. Thick guys with lots of fat.
2) Now, I have heard arguments that the method that creatine works is "mechanical": it's not so much energy availability/production but the actual extra fluids and volume held inside the muscle is a leverage effect in itself. Forcing as much nutrients into muscle will eventually get one fat.
3) Bigger one for me: I hate wearing a power belt when skinny. You can't get it at the right tightness, it chafes the fawk out of hip-bones and ribs, it doesn't seem to provide nearly as much help. When you are fatter, you can use the power of the gut to a certain extent to push against.

Genuine question, why do people wear a belt to bench?

I don't know wtf is going on here. 750+ deficit errday, yet I'm approaching or passing PRs in everything and looking way bigger. Might have something to do with going 4-5 days a week for ~1 hour rather than 1-2 days a week for 2 hours. So motivated with this cut right now considering I'm actually progressing in lifts and feeling great.
I'm taking alpha yohimbine, only thing different than other times. Wonder how much that is effecting things.1175 @172

"The hardship of the exercises is intended less to strengthen the back than to toughen the mind. The Spartans say that any army may win while it still has it's legs under it; the real test comes when all strength has fled and the men must produce victory on will alone." (Pressfield,1998, p.78)
