Since it already takes at least 4 hours a day to look like that without steroids.
No that’s not true. You could train 3 times a week with 1 hour workouts and get a similar result as long as you’re consistent. 4 hours at the gym is too much time unless you take excessive rest periods and/or uses it as a social arena.
It’s actually pretty funny to see a real power lifter next to a youtube-popular muscle builder, 1/4 the size, but can lift 4x as much.
The strongest powerlifters are huge, and specify in only 3 movements. Take a powerlifter out of those 3 specific movements and bodybuilders doesn’t look all that bad.
Steroids just make muscles that get in the way of utility. Rather than properly useful muscles.
Strongmen are even bigger than bodybuilders and there’s no loss in “functional strength”/utility.
Not a single part of you comment is accurate, are you into fitness/strength sports?
I may have the exact amount of time wrong from what people are saying, and I was assuming he didn’t only work on his arms, but I can concede that since we only see his arms it’s all I really should comment on.
And no I don’t have much interest in it myself. So I probably got specific terms wrong.
The words I should have used are people training specifically to ‘be’ strong versus people training specifically to ‘look’ strong. Whatever the proper words are for that.
The whole focus of my post, other than saying the wrong specific words, is that people’s ideas of what it takes to get strong have been skewed by the prevalence of steroids. It’s now assumed if your muscles are less than an inch thick, you “don’t even lift, bro”. When that kind of size is pretty hard to attain outside of a gym. Like even hard labourers aren’t gonna look like that without putting in proper time and attention. Whatever the specific real proper amount of time is.
