I guess a large fat guy would have a better footing on the ground over a skinny guy but I still think it is more about muscle mass being able to hold up to the recoil.

No doubt that muscle-mass has something to do with it. However, my skinny daughter who is 5'7" and weighs 108 has shot my 500 with 440grain maximum loads, and with a proper stance and some coaching she didn't get set-back too far.
