The porn fairy of the woods used to leave out magazines for boob men and the implants some of those women had were ludicrous. Not to mention every guy was roided out.
Glad there’s been a push in society to be accepting again of people and their body types. Even if porn today still falls into the same tropes of the 80’s and 90’s.
It’s not even just plastic, the type of gear a lot of guys get on to get bodies like The Rock is coming home to roost in terms of the damage it does to the body. There’s this older sci-fi film called Yor Hunter from the Future released in '83, right at the tail end of what you’re talking about. B-movie. Not worth watching unless you like so bad it’s good stuff. But you can see in the promotional photos what was “big” and muscular looked like during that time:
Not to brag, but I have comparable measurements from about a decade of program lifting. I still have people regularly surprised I’ve been lifting as long as I have because I don’t look like a professional wrestler. I look like Yor. Because I’m natty and mostly lifting for fun and health. And now I see teenagers getting on chemicals while their bodies are still developing because they want to look like what they see in Marvel films and it’s really sad.
The Marvel movie note cannot be overstated. Just look at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in The Wolverine (2013) vs X-Men (2000). Being yoked is the prerequisite for superheroes now
Jackman is especially interesting because when he had that body in The Wolverine, I remember reading articles about how he was happy he got into the 1,000 lbs Club while training for that film. It’s powerlifting term for when your one rep max on your bench, squat and deadlift all add up to over 1,000 lbs. I remember that being my lifting goal when I read about that and when I hit it, I looked a lot more like X-Men Wolverine for sure haha It is surprisingly easy to hit the 1,000 lbs club and still look like a pretty normal guy.
Just goes to show how practical strength and Marvel looks don’t always have a lot of overlap. Those lats, traps and low body fat do most of the work for The Wolverine Jackman, rather than the quads, posterior chain and chest that do most of the work on powerlifting moves.
Jesus Christ I had that body when I was younger and I remember I felt like I was just barely looking like I was in shape. I thought I was chubby.
Yeah, it’s easy to see how these 17 year olds that love going to see the latest blockbuster with their buddies and then think that’s what strong looks like and try to be Chris Hemsworth or something and when a half year or lifting doesn’t give it to them, they start juicing or something.
