... which is additional evidence of Zimmerman's capabilities and strength, given 28 is the in the middle of one's physical prime.
He claims to have lost significant weight from his previous booking measurements of around 5'9-5'10 and 230 lbs, which would indicate exercise and (workout) training. Additionally, those with the inclination toward a neighborhood watch (including following a 'suspect' and potentially engaging that person, as is clear was Zimmerman's intent) would or should likely put themselves in a physical condition where they shouldn't be easily overpowered.
If you think a string-bean 17 year old could easily overpower somebody of that description, I'm fine with that. However, Zimmerman's actions and apparent lifestyle don't jibe with the story promoted through his family nor with the need to 'enhance' video to see his injuries.
That obviously doesn't mean he did or did not feel he was in actual and imminent danger. There are a lot of unanswered questions, and not a lot of ways to answer them.
