Take a look sometime at strongmen. National and World's Strongest Man competitors. The vast majority of competitors and winners are big but not ripped. They have "power bellies". You'd see them in the pub and presume they are fat lazy oafs . But trust me these guys are strong across a range of disciplines.

And I mean fucking STRONG!!

I've been on a bit ob a Russell Crowe movie binge in the past few weeks and since he is almost sixty now, many of the movies I've watched were consequently older movies. and when I watched them, it struck me again, how much hollywood has changed in the last few decades when it comes to depicting men.

take Gladiator for example from the year 2000. Russell Crowe plays basically an action hero in it. he is a big, muscly dude, who is very strong and uses that strength to defeat his enemies. and this is what he looks like:

looks like a strong man, right?

in the same year, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine looked like this in the first X-men movie:

in 2013 the same character played by the same actor looked like this:

it's a bit much, isn't it? I mean, he looks so skinny.

and if we go even further back: look at what the womanizer character Face from the A-team looked like in the 80s show vs the 2010 movie reboot:

maybe the difference isn't that big but it really startled me when I watched that movie for the first time. in my mind there was no reason why Face should be particularly muscular since he is the charming one not the one known for being particularly strong.

if we go even further back, look at the charmin womanizer character Hawkeye in M*A*S*H from the 70's.

I know he's a doctor and there is no reason for him to be ripped but I got the feeling if they did the show now, he would be.

I don't know what my point really is I'm just saying I got a bit nostalgic when watching these men. I cannot be the only one who'd rather see more of this:

than this:

also, as a sidenote: Russell Crowe gained a lot of weight for the nice guys and he is a fucking powerhouse in that film, like, when he punches someone, you really feel it because of the weight that is behind it and the shere mass of his body.

(even if this may look different, he's about to break Ryan Gosling's character's arm. I couldn't find a gif of him punching someone but I swear it looks painfull as hell.)

so, in short: can we get big, heavy action guys back? cause I'm tired of seeing these skinny, despite being muscular dudes who look dehydrated as hell and on steroids.

and can we stop making characters ripped just for the sake of it? cause I'd rather cuddle with a guy looking like Hawkeye than one looking like Face from the new A-team movie.

anyways i'm enjoying the pjo series but i do think that the god of war & his children should be built less like dehydrated marvel muscle shows and more like contestants in a strongman competition . be nice to see some fat people on my screen once in a while idk

who is stronger the current strongest man in the world tom stoltman or me who's been watching game of thrones with his parents

brian shaw won strongest man on earth 2023 and you know we can armchair quarterback a lot of why we think that happened considering that he nearly lost a leg preparing for WSM 2023 and he tore a pec on the bench press, like there's the home court advantage and the fact that he does an absurd amount of cardio for a strength athlete and his nutrition leaned him up real good before putting him in a prime position to get new muscle gains if insulin sensitivity is a thing (not sure if it is or not) and tom stoltman just really eating shit on the log press and all the other complex shit that goes into making an athlete peak. but personally i think it's because he found a way to turn protein shakes into ice cream and dip cheesecake into them

fuckin i could be strongest man on earth too if i was on this popeye shit
