    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.

      It’s totally fine for me if you want to look like one of those Roman or greek statues but I don’t think the (above) average greek or todays indigenous people look(ed) much different from the guys in the post, eg Yanomami for reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/xR5KMPCo6XMwnQne6

        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.
