Sure. But also we know what an active body looks like and it’s not like this. They look like normal guys who don’t get much excercise. Look at people living in pre industrial tribes, Greco Roman beauty standards etc. not saying it’s wrong to look like that, but I personally do not want to look like that. I think we look best with a little bit of muscle on.
It's totally fine for me if you want to look like one of those Roman or greek statues but I don't think the (above) average greek or todays indigenous people look(ed) much different from the guys in the post, eg Yanomami for reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/xR5KMPCo6XMwnQne6

Kinda shows how fucked up our beauty standarts got...
Kinda shows beauty standards are completely arbitrary and context dependent.

Right,, before power tools were common. I bet these guys were on average stronger than current average men.
You are asuming they do physical work and aren't just white collar.

If it's doing it immediately after the hash, that's an issue with your client. All the comments here look fine for me on Alexandria, base Lemmy, and Boost.

Oh well I never made any objection to the beauty standards so I agree I guess? I only said I don’t want to look like that, I’m a little old school, I want to look like all those Greek statues.
tiny wee wee included?

Second from the right is just Freddie Mercury
Who? Mr. beast?

Why does the guy on the left look like he's wearing a collar made of skin?
It's his tan line. None of those guys ever saw the sun without wearing a suit.

I'd rather have my 3% body fat "skinny arms" then synth arms.
How can you form coherent thoughts at 3%? I would only be able to think about food

I just don't eat sugar for the most part. Plenty of carbs and protein for slow metabolism but no sodas etc. for sugar crashes so I just have constant energy. I normally fast through breakfast and lunch eat a snack eat dinner eat another snack

Yeah you can generally tell, the neck and shoulders have more androgen receptors so they will typically have bulbous shoulders, oversized traps and a thick neck. Other giveaways are early balding, back acne, and rapid muscle gain. And huge mass monsters are pretty obvious. If you were really interested you could take a look at Jesse James West on YouTube. He's about the peak muscularity someone can reasonably achieve without steroids outside of genetically gifted individuals. He interviews gym girls often and they rate him so low haha.
Well, Mr. JJW'S results are more work than I want to do, so I don't have to worry.

My point was that I'm able to lift heavier things than most people would assume because I'm low body fat but I'm the same weight as someone who does have 15%bodyfat for my height.
Oh the 3% was not an expression… Al I can say is that I seriously doubt you really are 3% bf. If you are I hope you have all your affairs in order because you’re probably not long for the world.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think I'd know if I was about to die but thanks... Maintaining my weight is easy it's putting weight on that's a pain. I've tried the super size me diet and besides raising my cholesterol I was in impacted. Long of the short I have underlying conditions that make processing and eating food a pain.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Cmon that photo you linked makes my point exactly. The tribesmen clearly have better muscle mass. Just look at the man in the far right, that dude has fairly developed biceps and shoulders. Guy on the far left, I think I even see some vascularity.
I think you might be looking at the chest only, which is actually pretty hard to build without weightlifting so it makes sense that neither would look like what our idea of muscular is in the modern day. Even the first bodybuilders had “underdeveloped “ chests.
