Never change, /fit/.

How did the Greeks know what someone this swole would look like?

Can you really extrapolate that from the DYEL average physiques they had back then? Or was there some big niggas.

Most statues were modelled by Olympian athletes IIRC

>>39175345
Dudes carried around goats on their backs and shit back then, bro. No forklifts to move shit, everything was by hand. lotta swole niggas back then.

>>39175345

Its not that hard to imagine the better minds of the day could envisage what a heavily muscled person would look like based on the better examples of fit bodies they had to take inspiration from.

They're were some big guys (for you) back then and people far from average

Socrates was not only ripped, he was FUCKING ripped. Pretty much every Greek Philosopher, poet, tragedian, and so on would have been, because they were all adult male citizens, and either had to fight in the army or row in the fleet.

People underestimate the level of physical exertion these things required. These guys worked out EVERY day. They worked out so much that they actually liked working out. They lived to work out.

Their entire leisure time was composed of:

-working out
-getting gay over how hot their bods were in the balmy mediterranean sun.


The first ten fucking pages in Plato’s FIRST dialogue have Socrates lusting over a teenager’s sweaty, manly pecs through his toga. Socrates likens himself to a lion that is about to gobble up its prey. He can barely control himself.

That is how the Western Philosophical tradition starts: Homoerotic lust for ripped abs.

When Alcibiades the manliest man in history bursts into the famous drinking party at which guests are discussing the urbane topic of love, asks Socrates why he never fucked him in the ass when they cuddled.

That dialogue ends with Socrates going to the gymnasium and working out.

It is understandable that modern historians, coming from a society of flabby, skinnyfat wimps are unable to compregend the sheer manliness of Athens. Socrates saved Alciabides in a hoplite battle in the Peloponnesian War.

Aeschylus, the tragic poet fought at the battle of Marathon.

All of them worked out and fucked ass, at every moment they weren’t inventing Western civilization.

>>39175470

>All of them worked out and fucked ass, at every moment they weren’t inventing Western civilization.

And nothing has changed, to continue the advancement of the west we all have to contribute to our society by working out and fucking ass. And don't tell me you're one of these selfish guys that isn't willing to have sex with men to further mankind.

>>39175345
75% of getting big is lifting heavy and eating like a beast. With the importance they placed on mental and physical fitness back then, it's not hard to believe they'd get yuuuge.

Even the top 0.1% of retarded crossfitters get pretty big.

1.No they were not
2.They were just fags and were repeating shit they were learning from the scholars in alexandria
3.They loved to workout and were mostly just a bunch of DYELs using the bodies of the slaves and warriors to model for their stone photoshop.

someone post a comparable physique

>>39175345
While the science of physical exercise was obviously shit in the ancient era that doesnt mean they didnt understand the importance of exercise and many people did exercise to gain strength.

You dont have to be a genius to see that a blacksmith who pounds metal all day is getting stronger than the monks who live in your local church. And when you spend your life fighting and training you get pretty god damn fit.

Having an erect penis meant that you descended down from being God-like to a beast. Satyrs were usually depicted as having an erect penis. Nymphos would tease Satyrs but never fornicated with them.

Small dick because only uncouth barbarians had big dicks. Also a large nutsack indicated virility and such.

Even if they didn't have a direct model, the art of the ancient Greeks rested heavily upon recognizing the ideal ratios of the human body. That is to say, the Greeks were great at recreating and manipulating those ratios. From there, all they need to do is observe some close to that physique, scale all of the ratios up, and extrapolate what they would like, obviously with trial and error paving the way. You can tell its not a perfect extrapolation however, as the adonis belt is ever so slightly warped.

When I was in the Navy, I would check out the other guy's dicks (everyone does it) and I noticed that all the black guys had 6 inch flaccid dicks. I'm pretty sure one of them had a boner once and his cock had to be like 10-12 inches. It was unbelievable.

who cares about flaccid size?

>>39175168
Even if he's a grower, he's looking at 5.5, 6" at most, but more like 4.5, 5".

I wouldn't call it a baby penis, but it's definitely not respectable.

Hilariously, this is true. Fat was considered attractive, because it was seen as a sign of wealth.

>>39176359

No this is a fucking stupid disinfo meme that needs to die

Greeks deemphasized genotalia in artwork because it was art not porn.

You can find plenty of ancient pornographic material with lewd porportions

>>39178608
No need to lie anon. We all did it.

>>39175141
>>39175215
To quote a classics professor,
“Greeks associated small and non-erect penises with moderation, which was one of the key virtues that formed their view of ideal masculinity. There is the contrast between the small, non-erect penises of ideal men (heroes, gods, nude athletes etc) and the over-size, erect penises of Satyrs (mythic half-goat-men, who are drunkards and wildly lustful) and various non-ideal men. Decrepit, elderly men, for instance, often have large penises.”

>>39175168
am i the only person for whom when my dick shrinks, mostly from being cold, that it's more sensitive? nothing better than a hot shower fap after being out in chilly weather.

>>39178970
prolly because your nerves are bunched up

>>39175127
yeah no one had that body, it was an idealized physique of a demi god

Do you think they'd go for the Hollywood physique if they knew what it's like or would they still worship the core strength type primarily?

>>39178504
As a black guy, we're mostly "showers" not "growers".

You lose a lot of heat from your dick, so in Northern Europe the body adapted.

Erect all races's dicks are roughly the same size.

>>39179417
t. white dicklet

>>39175215

Nah bro thats not. My penis is over 8 inches hard and 5 inches flaccid. When I swim in cold water or lift weights it shrinks down to like 2 inches flaccid and looks like a baby dick.

You have no idea the feels this brings me because once my mom walked in on me sleeping when I was 17 and I was naked with a fan on.

She told me I had a tiny cock and laughed. So I had to plan a way for her to walk in on me not cold to show her it wasnt small. Well that never happened and instead she walked in on my girlfriend giving me a blowjob and shouted outright after walking in "That tiny ass little thing grew into that?! Oh my god its big" and turned in awkward moment into a dreadful moment.

For the record yes my mom is mentally unstable. I might be as well for trying to get her to walk in on me naked.

>>39179502
Not that guy, but I'm white and have an 8 inch penis. Don't care if other whites do or dont. I just know I'm smarter, more handsome, and got a bigger deeuckgh than 99% of blacks.

>>39179505
You guys are fucked in the head. I feel you. I got mommy issues and we're both unstable, not to the point I would try to prove to her I got a big cock though

>>39179417
I agree with you but I doubt you're black. You sounded too intelligent and knowledgeable. Stop being so insecure white man. If you're dating a size queen you're dating a degenerate anyways.
