      I remember discussing this in private school, I suggested its possible use was for portable masturbation on long trips lol.

      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.

          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.

      I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don’t need some super crazy work out plan to look better.

      But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren’t needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren’t making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.
