Kinda shows how fucked up our beauty standarts got…
Bigorexia is a real thing nowadays. The male body standard inflation on social media is just wild… unless you’re on gear, cut down to 6% body fat and in good lighting you’d get ratio’d into oblivion
I know those words, but I don’t think they’re being used in a manner to which I’m accustomed.
Steroids or nobody likes you
You know what? I’m gonna not take steroids even harder.
They can tell just by looking that I don’t take steroids right? Like I don’t have to actually talk to them?
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.
I’d rather have my 3% body fat “skinny arms” then synth arms.
It’s not one or the other. You can lift heavy things, not do steroids and not have skinny arms. You can also have skinny arms if you don’t want to lift heavy things and are perfectly content with them. But let’s not frame this as a binary choice because it isn’t.
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.
Exactly. The order is important.
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
And do you get good muscle recovery from this diet? I do a lot of running and cycling, eating (high carb) during my activities has really helped faster recovery and helped control cravings later.
Stereo?
I wonder how well a 1950s Mr Universe Sean Connery would do today?
I wish more people would be open about it. Alan Ritchson is one of the few Hollywood celebrities that has candidly spoken about his use of exogenous testosterone to prepare for his role as Reacher, but clearly so many others are getting help. I’m in my late 50s trying to add muscle mass, and it’s a huge challenge. I’d say that I’m better off than all of the men in this 1919 photo, but not by that much.
Kinda shows beauty standards are completely arbitrary and context dependent.
Every one of them looks like Gollum’s uncle, what are you saying
They’re saying that our current ideas of male beauty have been warped heavily by drugs and plastic surgery such that we consider naturally attractive men to look unremarkable.
I’m all for a low bar on male attractiveness - handsome is as handsome does. But, these fellas look barely this side of healthy
You may have spent too much time online.
We’re getting into the body positivity discourse of a century old photo of dudes dressed like Beetlejuice’s day at the beach, so it pretty much goes without saying that we could all do with a gasp of fresh air.
Lol, fair.
#2 is packing.
has to, as he has no beard.
So he can’t sing a shanty?
Cant sing shanty if you got no beard.
He also has both legs
No tash = big member… That explains a lot…
So that’s why my wife’s member is so big!
I was about to comment that #2 either has as raging boner or it’s just like that
That guy is full staff.
Why does the guy on the left look like he’s wearing a collar made of skin?
They all look a little weird, like some old time photo editing was done.
That’d be the horrendous AI upscaling. Peep the fingers.
It’s his tan line. None of those guys ever saw the sun without wearing a suit.
The oldest dude there is 23 years old
thank you
Loving the dazzle camo shorts on #4
Second from the right is just Freddie Mercury
Who? Mr. beast?
Some of these fellows are packin’ some serious heat!
One dude without a mustache lines in a world of regrets and self loathing.
I’m surprised they even let him enter the contest.
Without a snappy stache, he’s got no shot at all.
That looks like tom hanks kid
#4 With that dazzle camouflage, ready for naval engagements
Fine young lads
Do they even lift?
Enough to beat your ass in fisticuffs
#2 making a bold statement to go sans mustachio.
His apparent boner is making a statement of its own.
He’s gonna put someones eye out with that thing.
ITT: people who start screaming because they don’t realise the
#at the start of a line has special meaning, and turns it into a heading.It’s only supposed to turn it into a heading when there’s a space between the hashtag and the heading text. 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.

Seems to be a problem with the app you’re using, not a general lemmy thing.
