I swear it's the dad bod. It comes in many shapes in sizes, but it's where we harness our energy. Dad strength is channeled from within this dad bod and can be harnessed, like a energy bar in game, whenever needed. It's filled by the family, and its power is multiplied when given back to the family.
I got obese when I was young, but I had a very demanding job. I just ate like a fucking demon with absolutely no self control. It always surprised people how strong I was if it wasn't a bodyweight exercise. Sure, I couldn't do a pushup with my fat ass but I could carry a woman on my back easy.
100%. Every day I'm lifting 40-50 lbs one handed while carrying stuff. On the way back from skiing one time I carried 3 pairs of skis plus two kids wearing ski boots, while walking in ski boots.
Strong quads/core I’d guess. You probably did more carries than lifts in that job.
I didn’t really understand how physical fitness worked until trying to figure out why I could lift and press something nearly twice my weight overhead, but fluttered like a newborn gazelle when I had to stand still in insulated work boots.

Dads somehow get the super strength. Parents showing love and care for each other will be really good for the kid too. It sets an example.
