Wait just a minute there, Chris. I'm a male Pittsburgh native. I carry 173 pounds on a 5-ft., 10-in. frame, and I'm an Obama backer. (Then again I've lived in L.A. for a while now, so maybe Chris has something.) One of my brothers is a bit beefy, but he does weight training.
If Chris is right, blame the pierogi and the Philly cheese steak, I say.
