Can we go back in time to when this was a sexy body for a man? This is dadbod now. I need the bar lowered back to this so I can have a cheeseburger more often.

I doubt you'd be shamed with a body like this...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously. This is very achievable.

Humble brag. Yeah it's certainly more reasonable but let's not get carried away and act like this is easy.

Huh? Dude's like 20% body fat in that pic with a tad bit of muscle, that wouldn't even require effort for a lot of guys

[nerd alert] Shatner was known for starting the season toned and then chubbing out during filming.

He was building mass for the next season!

You're on the internet, anything under 50% body fat is unachievable to most

You need some chicken and broccoli.

(Aka steroids)

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIL.

Is that really a common expression?

It's more of a in-joke about what celebrities say when they're asked how they maintain a 350 lb 2% body fat physique than a street name.

It is generally a good foundational diet for building muscle and losing weight though.

But so are the steroids, because muscle costs calories to maintain.

I can't remember the exact joke or who made it. The essence was that rich people call cocaine 'White Lady,' regular folks call it 'coke,' and poor people call it '...but Officer.'

How do you get that second belly button on your chest tho?

Combat with a giant lizard man, I think
