I'm not understanding your math? 3-4 times that would be 7200-9600 calories a day, already more than your example of the Rock. Regardless > The point is ther

I'm not understanding your math? 3-4 times that would be 7200-9600 calories a day, already more than your example of the Rock. Regardless > The point is there are people that are eating large fries and triple thick milkshakes as snacks driving from place to place because it makes them feel happy instead of just eating to feel full. And you just can't outrun that. Yes, if you eat more calories than you expend, because you spend your time eating while driving, instead of exercising, you wont expend more calories than you consume. That doesn't change the fact that a human can exercise enough that they have difficulty maintaining weight even after eating significantly more calories than necessary for normal maintenance weight. Nothing about the human metabolism circumvents thermodynamics

His point is that it's significantly easier to go way over the maintenance calories compared to making up with exercise if you just eat whatever you feel like. Essentially that you can consume X calories much easier than you can exercise it out. With proper diet I'm pretty sure the limit would be like 160kg for a healthy (TBD) body. Strongmen, when I watched regularly, were 160-185kg, with somewhat unhealthy bodies. If you eat junk, that limit comes lower since you can't exercise as efficiently. If you work 40hrs a week, that limit goes down further, since you can't live in the gym and hospital/sport clinic. Of course, realistically, the sweet spot is IMO in the middle. Don't replace water with blended ice cream but also don't live in the gym or focus too much on it. Dry scooping teacups of some sketchy preworkout called "eXTREME PsYcHo SUPREME ViOlEnCe" with a bunch of other sketchy pills that make your third leg point at people all day and make your skin itch probably isn't worth it.
