  What’s wrong with them?

    They don’t look like a modern social media influencer

      It’s not at all about that. I guarantee you that if these guys maintained whatever diet they had at the time and added three hours a week of doing something with their muscles, they would look very different.

        The point is that you wouldn’t find muscle mass like that as attractive without those people. This men were considered beautiful then and they aren’t now because the culture of what is considered beautiful has changed.

        Right, before power tools were common. I bet these guys were on average stronger than current average men.

    I would describe it as skinny fat but these guys are not fat, so I think the problem is that they have very little muscle all around.

      To me they look totally normal, average. Beauty standards changed a lot and continue so do since the dawn of time.

        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.

        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.

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

      Everyone of them has more muscle than the average man today. They don’t have the relatively low body fat most men today have. The strangest thing about them is the barrel chest and swollen gut thing that each of them has going on.

      Yeah, most of those guys look like they have a lot of visceral fat (they don’t have waists). Only the two on the right look healthy

    Hardest thing is getting there. Once you are in you kinda forget you didn’t want to go. Except when you don’t and you half ass it. But doing a little bit is better than doing nothing is what I say.
