Tbh any time I see gym equipment

I think of our apparently beefy ancestors

Who didn't have gym equipment

They did farm work which kept them fit and agile

10/10 would exercise by helping their grandfather cut down trees

If you aren't doing that type of hard labor

U should be lifting, nibba

I felt like I was on a steampunk spaceship 😂

Our ancestors were not beefy. They were a lot shorter and smaller than we are. The Vikings, for example, the giants of Europe. They were apparently the tallest of the Europeans. Average height? 5’7”

Wanna see America’s toughest men from the Wild West?

Texas rangers. Look at their bodies. No mass at all through the chest and the shoulders.

I went and visited the museum where they have George Washington’s famous military jacket. He was very tall, like 6’2” or 3. His jacket was about as big through the shoulders and chest of a modern adolescent male of about 14 years old.

Heheh

Manlet

Dang

I am huge dude

I have no right being this tall

This gives me consolation because I have always been insecure about being small. I stopped growing when I entered high school

Not after I graduated lo

Lol

I was claimed my height was redistributed else where...

Mfw when I got everyone's height

Mfw when I'll never look juicy cuz I'm so tall

@Deleted User I went to a machine shop we do business with to drop of an engine head. The guy working there was about 5’5 and 140 lbs but he threw around the cylinder head like it was nothing. Big muscles = strong is a meme.

Functional (/practical) strength

@tim a.#7632 I don’t know that I’d go that far but to your point https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nbVmRT13dXY

But let’s not kid ourselves too much. Modern weightlifting records crush old weightlifting records.

Agreed

9 more pounds to go!

Are you trying to gain or lose?

Always gains

Bought my ticket to IE conference. Let’s show up lean and mean.

Don't be this guy.

@BigBadSaxon - ID Lose fat right now. Cutting to 170 but trying to at least keep most of my muscle mass. Tis a challenge but I'm surviving thus far.

Anyone ever have a lack of appetite after working out? I'm trying to eat my post workout meal and I'm having a hard time wanting to eat

Ran another OCR this weekend with my girl, a 5k like we all ran back in NE in July

Awesome, brother. Looking chad

Thanks brother! Was a lot of fun
