Stupid bot.

Steroids weren't introduced until 1970's
The movie is situated in 1930's

If they had cast Arnold as Indy in the 80's he'd look so odd

>>213400123 (OP)
I miss when fit guys in movies weren't all enormous or shredded the way they are now. Regular people just don't get in shape the same way a Hollywood actor with 3 personal trainers and a round of steroids does.

>>213400233
Same with losing weight, try to work without eating food. It's easy if you do nothing all day.

>>213400123 (OP)
No man needs to be more muscular than this. Anything past that is purely masturbatory and only appeals to homosexuals.

Either Timothée Chalamet or Tom Holland could easily kick his ass! Just not at the same time... they'd be to busy sucking each other off.

no it wasn't. nobody considered indiana jones nor harrison ford incredibly buffed

You're never going to get a tight gym bunny gf with that attitude, anon.

men used to be natty on screen and they weren’t afraid of actors with weak hairlines or having extras with bald spots. Actors used to have yellow teeth. Shit got so feminized and commercial fast

>>213400123 (OP)
Post physique

>>213401339
living proof that face/hair/charisma mogs /fit/ everytime

>>213401396
macho men like ahnold and stallone were the exceptions not the rule

Don't say this kind of shit on the clearnet. This is your only warning.

no, they werent

Die Hard was a joke about an unfit guy being the action hero, and he was still jacked

>>213401626
No it wasn't

>>213400329
It actually appeals exclusively to heterosexual men which is the weird thing

You can easily lose weight without starving yourself.

>>213403029
It will take incredibly long though

>>213400233
I'm so sick of seeing this parroted. Movies and television aren't setting new standards for the minimum women find attractive. Their attraction is based on what they see outside. If you aren't obese or overweight you are automatically in the top 20% of all men. If you regularly work out 3 times a week you are in the top 10%. That's literally all it takes. And if you can't find an hour 3 days a week then you don't deserve pussy in the first place. Being with a woman takes a lot more time, money and effort than that. You aren't getting laid because some asshole on screen took gear. That's pure cope. Stop repeating it.

>>213403486
this isn't true anymore.

pretty much every zoomer male is at least somewhat active in the gym. it's basically expected at this point, you need to be muscular to not be automatically disqualified

>>213403416
No it doesn't. It depends where you're starting from as well obviously

>>213403564
That's not true. You don't even go outside.

>>213403564
You got any evidence for that claim or are you just going off vibes? Everyone is getting fatter and dumber and you can see this in actual studies. What you see on tiktok and social media is not representative of society

>>213401626
No it fucking wasn’t

>1984
Well this was the same year that Conan 2 came out and was just the start of the swole80s era. Because just a year prior, Ford was running around in the California woods with bear cubs earning his pity check playing a character he began to loathe.

>>213403486
tbf a mere
>workout 3 times a week
would take months (3-6) to notice at all (assuming lean), and then years beyond that to look noticeably good assuming good genetics
t PPL 6/7 days a week 1.5-2.5 hours for 4 years and only started getting compliments (from other men) last year

>>213400123 (OP)
you are a fat ass with zero muscles lmao

>>213400339
Those two would never work out. Both trying to be the bottom.

>>213404832
You're wasting two days on legs and not eating enough

>>213404832
Skill issue. I got compliments for putting on muscles after 3 months (to be fair it was just my aunt, but I never told her that I work out).

>>213400162
Steroids hit the general market in the late 50s, they didn't become a big thing in the public conscience until the 80s.

>>213400123 (OP)
as a Gen-X oldfag I can tell you no he wasn't, he was meant to be considered a normal guy

>>213400123 (OP)
No dumbass, this is what college professors looked like in 1984.

>>213404964
I didn’t say I wasn’t getting results. I’m just saying that you are way too optimistic about training results for normies starting from 0
I eat 200g protein daily at 250lbs
the real issue is that I’m a (tall) fat fuck
taller you are the harder it is to appear noticeably strong since your frame requires more muscle to fill, and being fat means women dgaf
and I didn’t say I WASNT strong, my current working weight bench is 255x11 reps, and despite being a bloat lord I can actually do several pull-ups (just 5 lmao)
>>213405363
>compliment from family members who were probably told by your mom you workout
I don’t really count those, I only really count mires from strangers
also 3 months is literally too early to put on mass (starting from nothing)
in that time period it’s mostly just your nerves making new connections with what you have

>>213406149
I didn't tell my mom either. And apparently she didn't notice since she never commented on it, but she sees me every week as opposed to my aunt who last saw me before I started.

>>213406271
legitimately
either you already had muscle to begin with and thus had already passed the nerve building stage
were particularly water saturated and thus looked fuller that day (or were dehydrated/leaner and thus had more muscle definition)
or your aunt was just saying that as a compliment (I got those too before I started working out, one even from a non family member, I think they were just being nice though)
OR you are legitimately a genetic phenom (least likely option, but possible)
you deserved the compliment regardless since working out always sucks, but biologically 99% of the population (including young men) literally are incapable of putting on significant enough mass as a natty to be noticed by an unguided viewer in < 4 months

>>213404832
I went from hungry weak 150 lb 6’1” skeleton to 190 lbs putting up 1/2/3/4 for reps inside 10 months.

>>213406549
>40lbs in less than a year
you got fat lol

>>213406703
I still looked %100 better than the emaciated ghoul I was.

>>213400123 (OP)
Best Indy film

>>213406549
>2 pl8s for reps < 1 year, presumably natty and with good form/ROM
assuming you aren’t lying, im jealous anon
but regardless, 99.9999% of men starting from 0 are literally biologically incapable of that and its disingenuous to imply that that is an expected outcome
I say this as a guy routinely in the top 10 strongest within my big box gym
although I must confess I am skeptical, 190 is still pretty light for that at 6’1
you must be very visually shredded

>>213406781
Yeah but you would have looked better gaining 20-30lbs

>>213401339
What mattered back then was having functional strength

>>213404832
>6/7 days a week 1.5-2.5 hours for 4 years
Are you really doing all that just to help get laid? Fuck lol. All you have to do is have a good face, not be fat, and have decent social skills.

>>213400123 (OP)
>this Is considered incedibly buff in current year

>>213407085
>doing it to get laid
I’m not pretending I’m not a fucking loser
initially that is why I started working out
then I continued working out for the health benefits
a bad back runs in my family, so strength training is the only thing between me and constant back pain (I walked around like an old man as a teenager)
also, the endorphins from working out used to silence my suicidal/depressed thoughts. It doesn’t do that anymore and hasn’t since the end of year 3, but now it’s a habit and I have nothing better to do coupled with the aforementioned health benefits
that and it’s nice actually being strong, it’s amazing how much more comfortable life is when every physical action is easier. I helped a friend move the other month and he was huffing and puffing the entire time, sweating like a pig and holding his back as we finished. Meanwhile I wasn’t even breathing heavy

>>213400233
These fags with 'muh 70's are taking characters who are fit in the context of their role. Today any lead or side character is jacked literally for no reason. Pic related, you never see him work out in the series, he wouldn't even have time

>>213403564
>pretty much every zoomer male is at least somewhat active in the gym

Never have video games been more popular. Or fast food. And overeating in general. Never have there been so few manual labor jobs.

I see short fat brown zoomers for miles and miles. You have to be insane to think people were less fit 100 years ago.

>>213407533
anyway, congrats on the 255x11, that's impressive

ty, I’m hoping to get 3pl8 for reps by this time next year

>>213404355
>Me:
that isn't you

>>213407533
Are you ugly? I got laid all the time as a 6"4 guy with a swimmers build in my 20's and because I broke my elbow as a kid my bench has always been fucked. I've never benched over 200 as a max even after working out consistently for a year. But I had nice arms and pecs for the ladies. Being huge and fat is not an gonna disqualify you from all chicks but it's gonna force more work on you from an approach standpoint I think

>>213408394
I wouldn’t be the best judge of that
but my guess is yes, I’ve accidentally scared women with my mere presence on more than one occasion. I don’t even wear weird clothes or have strange tattoos, and I’m not black or something. I wasn’t even trying to talk to them, or even looked at them. But one time a mom flinched seeing me and literally pic related. I just wanted to look at the posters in the store and got in line behind her to do so like the other people in line. Probably didn’t help that I was a solo man.
one friend described my smile “as if I just saw a kid trip and fall on his face”
and when I told another friend that I accidentally scared women with just my presence he simply just agreed and told me it was likely because I’m big

>>213407746

Back in the day the proles and fatties were kept out of sight, not displayed in public.

The only thing that changed is the concept of shame. Back then people had a sense of it and would stay out of view if grotesque one way or another. These days there is no such thing as shame so everyone is just out in the open.

>>213408585
Gotcha well getting laid isn't the be all end all. I think we all initially start working out for chicks but then continue for the benefits you mentioned. And better to at least be strong. Also I don't know where you are at with that or even if you care but trying to get laid all the time is not attractive and women can sense it ...if you let it go and actually pursue your own hobbies that interest you, it actually retroactively attracts women. This does not mean guys can say fuck it and let them selves go playing video games in a basement....but you know what I mean

>>213407681
he's jacked and covered in shitty tattoos to let you know he's a badass chef, even though he spends the entire show crying about his problems

>>213408761
I don’t really try to
God I wish it was because of something creepy I said, but no these things happened when I wasn’t even trying to approach them or talk to them, or even saw them as a romantic option (I didn’t know them at all)
I don’t actually try to pick up women anywhere, all my friends have varying reasons that make it to where they can’t go out, and I know being a solo male in a bar or something isn’t going to improve my chances
Anyways, I try not to think about it nowadays

Sean Connery used to be a body builder, but gave up when he only placed 3rd in the Mr Universe competition.
