I feel sorry for the boys growing up now looking at all these roided out monsters thinking they need to look like that to be good looking. In the 90’s we had actual regular sized people as the peak male specimen.
Literally thought the same thing looking at this picture—“Man, he seemed to much bigger back then!”
Ran into a college student the other day at the gym who had just started lifting. The dude casually dropped that he was taking tren. One month of lifting and you’re on tren… how about like some whey protein to start?!
Holy shit, that’s like… You haven’t even seen beginner gains, haven’t learned proper mind/muscle connection, haven’t gotten form and control down, no guarantee this is a real lifestyle for you yet level of noob.
I can second that. While a little bit of muscle is hot, the weightlifter/bodybuilder/linerback/etc style body does nothing for me and the “roided out” look is a complete turnoff.
That said, you shouldn’t do things like that just to attract people. If you wanna be some big muscle guy, do it cause you want to. And if that is the kinda person you wanna be, cool, there will be people who will be attracted to you for the person you are.
… just don’t do steroids. That shit’s bad for you.
Abs are not arms. The OP pic, Vin’s arms aren’t that insane, but to have picture perfect abs in a shirtless scene he would’ve been dehydrated to hell because thats the only way your abs show as clearly as Hollywood likes. This also goes for pecs and shoulders/backs. Dehydration only makes your arms look veiny unless you’re like, actual bodybuilder day of competition.
I was just thinking that. Not trying to toot my own horn but I look pretty damn close to him. I started working out/lifting seriously in 2012.
Now you have to be the Chris Hemsworth performance enhancing actor generation to be “huge.” He wouldn’t be considered shit nowadays, but back then you could just be dedicated and shredded. Now you have to be on gear too.
Then again there were enormous pro wrestlers in the 80s who made Vin Diesel look tiny, so the performance enhancement look definitely isn’t that new to the public.
I remember I thought he looked fucking huge.

Yet with TREN, they’ll see quick gains that can’t be achieved naturally.
Yeah I was shocked. It’s just a different world now. Insta fitness models have just ruined it for everyone.

Most women I’ve talked to don’t like it anyway. Just look healthy and fit and you’re good. No need to look like the Hulk on steroids.

There’s a line where you look at a guy and wonder if he can wipe his own ass. At that point muscles are no longer cool
You’re telling me Vin Diesel didn’t take steroids back in 2000?
Well probably. But at least he looks human.
He would look small compared to most male actors that have their arms out today.
Oh yes some people out there cannot walk straight because of their muscles.
And Brandon Lee wasn’t terribly dehydrated on the set of The Crow?

And that is how you kill your kidneys.

Go back a bit, to the rocky 2, predator days
Look up hugh Jackman from the first X-Men. The dude was cast to play a military super weapon close combat monster
