You're not jacked if your 1RM is 250. I'm 5'8" 165, 45M and even I bench 250. I always eat the pizza, but I hardly ever drink. Your drinking is killing your gains, not just your abs.


You’re a dwarf though

Both of you are killing my lady-boner. STFU about your stupid diets and lifts.

Doughy women trying to shame muscular men is the most DCUM thing ever.

What are the circadian rhythm and sleep maxxing and special mattresses?
Those might be good in the wider sense of healthy living. The rest sounds real BS.

Plus they all were wearing tight skinny pants with fitted untucked shirts. I'm glad I'm not single.


Eeewww, ick! I wonder why anyone would think that was attractive.


I know! Probably none of them even had a nose ring! Ew.

Check out Dollar General and the bus station if you really want to compare down market. It's rough out there.


Pop into any Bojangles to see what older men and women that don’t work out look like. Eat better. Train better.

He's a BIGLAW equity partner, but I haven't noticed any of his partners being at all like that. They seem to me to be the usual semi-lumpy guys in expensive suits.

Let's hope that is the case and it is not to be made fun of. People taking care of themselves is not a joke.

To answer OP -- Jacked is a bit much but are UMC men largely getting more in shape, losing weight, working out --- yes by a far margin. They are taking medical advice and getting healthy. It is one of the reasons that male life expectancy is wealth specific. UMC males almost equal women in terms of life expectancy while lower income men are 10 years behind.


That's not fair! I think we need to force UMC men to eat unhealthy diets and restrict their access to gyms and doctors.
