I could press 400 with my legs when I was a 95lb 5’9" ballet dancer, I was proper skinny certainly as I weigh now half again as much and people still think I am thin. Just all my strength was in my legs back then. Now more distributed.
Wiry is a good word for it. I was honestly shocked at how much I could push with my legs back then, my arms were like string though. I don’t have any idea what I could press now, no machine to measure it, working towards deadlifting my own weight by 60 and will be well satisfied with that. And still want to be able to cartwheel, lol.
I do find fat people are overall very powerful because they have mass behind their movements and yes, strength from carrying all that mass all the time. Absolute strength but not good strength - to - weight ratio.

Ballet dancer.
Skinny.
I dunnnoooooo, seems like an oxymoron. Never met a serious dancer that didn’t have thighs like granite.
Though, at 95 at that height, I must admit that you were wiry rather than stacked lol.
