The reason I ask this is cause: I've been reading some articles, and they say you need fat to grow muscles, and maintain em, well if you are overweight, you have excess fat, wouldn't that make you a lot easier to muscle build then skinny people?
Edit ~sorry fro posting in wrong area, idk how I clicked on this~

NO, it doesn't.. The fatter one is the higher insulin resistance and causes excess calories to be stored mostly as fat.

I think you are either reading articles by people who are severely retarded, or you are confusing dietary fat and BODY fat. Body fat is stored energy and dietary fat is fat you get from foods. GOOD dietary fat is very healthy, and benificial.

I know what you are probably thinking about. This is from the definition of endomorph which is one of the different ****totypes.

Endomorph
* Soft Body
* Underdeveloped Muscles
* Round Physique
* Weight Loss is Difficult
* Gains Muscle Easily Like the Mesomorph.
