    thick skinned?

    is there really such a thing as being thick skinned? or is what you think thicker skin just a lil fat?

    is there any way to thin out your skin if thick skinned is an actual possibility? lol weird question also not steroid related but any thoughts?

    I know people can have an excess amount of skin left over if they were very fat and then lost a lot of weight at a fast pace. But skin layer is a certain thickness for basically everybody unless you have some kind of genetic defect or something.

    I think he might be refering to thick skin for the entire body. And with rough skin like where most of us get on our hands from lifting, its a build up of skin but most of it is dead.
