22lbs is not that huge - we had Beldin, who was 18lbs (UK) of muscle and venom. It wouldn't have taken much extra food to get another 4lb on him - and I don't think it would have slowed him down.
Some cats are just "big boned" and they are seriously strong for their size. I wouldn't put my hands into a cat fight (even between smallish cats) without motorcycle gloves on!

To give you an idea of his size:
