It’s an ideal beach body, not a normal one. Though you’re right that Schwarzenegger looked normal compared to what competitive bodybuilders look like today.

Normal human = Arnie in his prime, pumping gear.
The way we’ve normalized steroid use is fucking insane. I remember when people used to be ashamed of that shit.

And the ‘ideal’ beach body is apparently something that can only be attained by steroid abuse. Arnie in his prime, pumping gear, should not be what anyone thinks is an ‘ideal beach body’. This is what I mean about steroid abuse normalization.

It says Mr Olympia there is ideal, not that it is attainable by normal humans or that Arnie is one. Should people be ashamed of using exogenous hormones? That includes wide swaths, more than body builders.
