I agree with him on this.
For the record though, I am about 370 now and have been gaining on purpose since I was in the 280-290 range. I have no problem whatsoever. I mean, I can't go out and jog 7 miles, but as far as day to day life goes there is no problem.
I do live an active lifestyle however. I am on my feet for 4-6 hours a day at work, I work in the yard on the weekends and go out and fly Sunday at the least, sometimes both days. If you have a pure desk job, go home and sit all night, and then lock yourself in the house all weekend playing video games or watching TV I expect you could have some issues doing even the most rudimentary tasks.
You do what feels right. As you gain, you will notice changes - it's not like you will wake up tomorrow at 300 lbs. If something does not feel right than stop!
Best of luck.
