Ok so that's from fit. On the off chance you're not just trying to make a bait thread newfriend we already have a fitness general:

>>660975
Hahahahahahahaha. Men don’t need roids to get jacked
>>660978

>>660978
Lol this has nothing to do with /Pol/ it's a lifting acronym.

"Do you even lift" it's existed for well over a decade in lifting forums
.

>>660972
Exercise, vitamins, sunlight.

>>660983
Yeah I corrected myself and linked OP to the fitness general:
>>660979

>>660978
This is immensely embarrassing.

>>660989
>This is immensely embarrassing.
Because I don't dweeb internet terminology? Yeah people said DYEL to me all the time at the gym. Touch weights.

>>660980
middle and right are absolutely roided wtf are you talking about

>>660998
Sandow was a freak of nature strongman.
Even if you were to take roids most people couldn't get as big as him or any other bodybuilder. See Jason Geneva.

>>661001
Based naturalist aboriginals

y'all are just some cookie cutters

those guys aren't healthy

even raw, natural powerlifters aren't "healthy", they all have fucked up joints and tendons from competing

>>661006
Sure and the average American is an obese fat ass with multiple chronic conditions.

The man in the original photo is Jim Morris he lived till 81 having an athletic appearance the entire time.

did bartolo lift?

>>660978
You don't browse anything it seems.

>>661006
massive cope

>>661000
This is what a strongman looks like. Learn the difference. Your bodybuilder heroes couldn't lift half of what a strongman could.

>>661268
The guy he linked actually did both. Ronnie Coleman was a successful powerlifter. Squatter 800lbs and deadlifted 800lbs

Fair enough, that's impressive.

>What socialist policies are needed so that all proles may live lives as healthy as this man?
Public awareness campaigns + fitness clubs. Advertise the benefits of diet and exercise, and cultivate a social culture centered around athletics, self improvement, and physical fitness enthusiasm. Have public fitness centers where gym equipment is readily available and clubs get together to meet. Not only will this improve social cohesion and combat alienation as well as improve individual quality of life, it will also benefit the general public as a more healthy population will put less strain on the health care system, freeing up public resources.

For whatever reason, socialists don't put nearly enough emphasis on exercise and tend to associate being jacked with fascism. We need to take back what it means to be jacked, and apply a socialist value system to it. We need to bring back the concept of the new soviet man.

There is indeed a difference between weight training for health, and weight training to be a champion. The ladder entails bombarding your body with training volume and workloads above and beyond what the human body can reasonably accommodate. The result is that injury rates increase, but so to does gains. You're more likely to injure yourself training this way, but you will get so much bigger and stronger much faster than if you were to train with lower volumes and workloads on a more sustainable program. Conversely, theres training for health. Weightlifting has a fuckload of health benefits: it reduces cancer rates, heart disease, keeps bones and joints strong and healthy into old age, effectively preventing arthritis, you look good naked ect. However, by training in a more sustainable manner with lower workloads, you may never get as strong and as big if you were to put extra time in the gym, but you'll also avoid the risk of inflammation and overuse injury, which are quite common among worldclass strength athletes. Its one of the reasons why steroid use is so prevalent. Thats the trade off.

Pic related is Jack Lalanne. Example of pinnacle human health. Lifted weights his entire life and made it into a ripe old age of 96. Back in his hay-day he was doing pushups by the hundred and swimming the English channel.

Socialism supports Athleticism, but not what ever became of body building.

>>661692
You should check out "classic physique" competitors it's pretty much an attempt at replicating old school bodybuilders look.

How the fuck did you bypass the character count filter?

Most steroid abusers are careening towards an early heart attack. Just because you have muscles does not mean you're healthy

>>661692

It's funny because the old-school guys would wreck and outlast the bottom ones on a treadmill any day of the week.

>>661954
Because that's not what they train for. They could focus on that if trained for that

For example

Alex viada is a massive powerlifter and he will outrun absolutely anyone you met in your life he does marathons

https://barbend.com/alex-viada-hybrid-training-interview/

>Alex is a lifelong athlete and the only person known to have ever deadlifted over 700 pounds within a week of running a 50 mile ultra-marathon.

You weaklings don't know what peak performance looks like.

We have to ban the sell of meat products.

>>662037
Ok, so far as we can eat your vegan ilk instead. Your diet is already that of a cattle, so just accept your fate.

>>662041
Another retarded take from leftypol.org

peak male performance

>>662057
>that second pic, fat body but skinny face
he is not giga fat, That is giga vore

I'm 34, is it too late to even start healthy body building?
I don't want to look like a chocolate golem, but I'm also under no illusion my skeletal frame is shit (I'm cupboard door mode).

>I'm 34, is it too late to even start healthy body building?

Absolutely not too late. Many people start to get in shape late in life. Never too late

>>662286
It's never too late to start exercising. Lifting at 34 might not be the same as 20, but that doesn't mean you aren't going to build muscle

Free access to food and healthcare.
This includes most classes of steroids.

nothin personnel kid

>>662309
Your arms will eventually run out from squirt juice.

>>660980
You literally posted a roid user in the OP you braindead retard. Nobody says you can't get muscular naturally, but the level of musculature at that age is impossible natty.
You've probably never lifted a day in your life if you think that's not roided to hell and back

Thanks :)

Some body fat is actually healthier than none at all. It's better for your energy levels, because your body burns fat for energy. Also the body draws out toxins and stores them in fat, where it does minimal damage.
So if you have a very small body fat percentage your body burns muscle tissue for energy, and second, those toxins have nowhere to do and so are dispersed through the organs and blood stream.

Obviously, having too high of a body fat percentage is the most unhealthy of these options.

>>660972
Why is always bodybuilding and weightlifting? Force people to do cardio exercises and shit. Heart disease is the number one killer. A weak bicep doesn't kill you, a weak heart will.

>>663057
yeah, but it's good to remember that most bodybuilders don't stay with that little amount of fat all the time, they go on an extreme diet before competing.

>>661692
Don't clown on Cutler
