I think that depends on how tall you are...... If you were a 3-foot dwarf, i'd say that's heavy

A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, the difference between the two is density.

Totally. A pound ia a unit of weight, and a pound is always a pound, if it's feathers or steel.
Due to the density, a person of a given size who has a higher muscle percentage on their body will be heavier than someone who is the exact same size but with a higher fat percentage.
As an extreme example, a pound of feathers takes up a lot more space than a pound of steel, but they weigh the same

That's what I mean... Oops.
Hey, wait a minute! I never said a pound of this vs. a pound of that! I should have specified a unit of volume, like a cup or gallon to make things a bit clearer. If we're gonna be really technical, a pound is not a unit of weight: it's a unit of mass.
Gonna stop now before the nerdiness takes away whatever manliness I have left.
