This is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

I love how this clip has sparked conversations about actual strength and athleticism. Vince Wilfork ran the 40 yard dash in 5.08 seconds at 6’1” 325 lbs. 99% of humans can’t run a 5 second 40. I’m in decent shape and I know I can’t.

He looks like he could juggle with people. He's awesome.

skullbearer.bsky.social•33 days ago

He looks like the guys in strongest men competitions. They look so ripped because unlike those in the bodybuilding competitions, they need to be effective, and that means not dehydrating or stripping away the vital layers of fat.

And holy shit, the control!

That lad is rock solid, and well, there’s also this Thor as a deranged goat farmer in Dannyverk https://youtu.be/EZCGrPHwKdI?si=WhdH--GvALHZ0zzw

TBF, I was also pissed at that, but more because the entire thing was played as a joke where "men being fat is hilarious", and "let's make fun of how unattractive Chris Hemsworth is because we put him in a fat suit".

bootstheory.bsky.social•33 days ago

Also they literally *dubbed in* a joke from his *dead mother* about eating a salad just in case the audience hadn't picked up that his fatness was meant to be a joke

didn't stop an army of apologists on Twitter trying to convince me that "actually they're sensitively showing him process trauma"

krveale.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think this might be a different version of Thor than the one with Chris Hemsworth:

Here's the character from God Of War

Ah, my mistake! The notion of Fat!Thor just took me to one place!

krveale.bsky.social•33 days ago

No worries, I was wondering if somebody got so mad about how the film did it that they rolled up their sleeves and said "Fat Thor would be fuckawesome and extremely plausible, so I'm going to pick a fight and make it happen."

There’s a big lady at my gym who hip thrusts like 160kgs and I’m over here with my bitchass 40kgs, like, there is no comparison.

These people have never seen the NFL combine when a 280lb dude manages to cover a 40 yard dash in 12 seconds.

The Great Gama, possibly the best wrestler of all time.

mnterrier.bsky.social•33 days ago

None of those people have ever done a grappling martial art and had to hit the mat with a big smash Boi and it shows

drlizgeriatrics.bsky.social•33 days ago

Those kids worked very hard on that. Very impressive.

understatesmen.bsky.social•33 days ago

if you think being fat means you can't be athletic, go pick a fight with a sumo wrestler and see how it goes for you

acmcgregor.bsky.social•33 days ago

Rugby forwards do be like that too

A Christmas tradition in many UK households is watching the daily broadcasts of the World’s Strongest Man contest that air around that time. 2m tall guys with huge bellies deadlifting, carrying, and throwing stupidly heavy objects. Absolutely no abs in sight!

being shredded means youd spend like 45% of your time bulking, 45% of your time cutting, and 10% of your time dehydrated and starving.

this guy only bulks. he is stronk. AF.

simonm223.bsky.social•33 days ago

As a big guy all that BS annoys the fuck out of me. I often joke that I learned how to fight because I'd rather not have to run LOL but I box, wrestle, fence, shoot, hike and chop firewood by hand to heat my house all winter and am afraid of no man.

simonm223.bsky.social•33 days ago

Fat Thor was the most seen I've ever felt with superhero cinema.

spiritusnox.bsky.social•33 days ago

NFL Lineman: proportionally quite fat. Also, will snap ordinary humans in two like twigs

grigorylukin.bsky.social•33 days ago

I absolutely hear your point, but if we fought in a big open arena... I'd just need to jog around the sumo wrestler until he ran out of energy. :P Like a fight between Godzilla and a hummingbird. ;)

kvoxsky.bsky.social•33 days ago

All right, internet tough guy, book a flight to Japan, set up visiting a sumo stable, and challenge one of 'em to a bout. Should be so easy, right?

grigorylukin.bsky.social•33 days ago

Like I said, if it's an open arena (lots of space, not like a boxing ring), then I can just keep dodging and jogging until he runs out of breath. :P

Seriously, let's do a kickstarter and make it happen!! 🤣

kvoxsky.bsky.social•33 days ago

Put your own money into it, coward.

grigorylukin.bsky.social•33 days ago

Friend-o. Chill. :)

simonm223.bsky.social•33 days ago

I mean I've dealt with butterfly fighters before. You just don't dance, wait for them to go in for a few punches that won't do much and then smash

grigorylukin.bsky.social•33 days ago

I mean... I want to avoid even a single punch from a professional sumo wrestler hahaha

simonm223.bsky.social•33 days ago

Best way to do that is to avoid getting in the ring. 😉

alrutter.bsky.social•33 days ago

I see your sumo wrestler and raise you a hooker from RU. This is Jamie George. He has been absolutely world class. He could break backs (tiny RU players) like twigs. He is... not jacked, but the strength is real. Also, for real, his thumbs could kill a man (from the hooker bind).
