Do you believe ancient warriors were as ripped as art makes them

>>42015982
There is no ancient art of ripped ancient warriors.

There is ancient art of strongfat warriors and there is ancient art of ripped athletes.

>>42015991
>ancient athletes
what did ancient "athletes" do? throw sticks at goats?

>>42016002

more like tick and solid !

Almost every Greek sculptor used Olympic athletes as models. So the athletes were actually ripped.

>>42015982
people were shorter on average. manlet advantage meant they looked ripped easier. food wasn't as abundant meaning they were all skele as well. manual labor was a thing for nearly everyone so you have and you grew up doing farm work or apprenticing under some sort of trade.

They did GOMAD and SS and had ritual sex with each other.

Not much has chsnged.

>>42015982
gladiators were built as fuck but not too athletic, big boys eating grain and getting strong, but they needed a some fat so they could get cut for the crowd but not have it be a serious injury

ancient dudes climbed mountains in armor with swords and moved pillars and shit all day

dudebros today stir powder in their lemonade and sit on their ass watching anime

ancient dudes had 4000+ ng/dl test levels
the average today is 300-1200 ng/dl

they also ate bull testicles to increase test
also i guess training your entire life to fight and die would make you pretty strong

>>42016613

i dont doubt they were ripped but most of the artists used and studied athletes for accurate muscle/physiology and just made them bigger and more a e s t h e t i c

>>42016732
You're a fucking tard. You're pulling this number out of your ass. If no men are 4000+ test in modern day, then why do some guys get ripped naturally? It's cause they get lean you mong.

athletes were probably your average gym weight lifter
soldiers were probably dyel because they had to eat little food and sleep very little

there is a talk where a general from Athens shits on athletes comparing them to soldiers and he complained they needed to eat too much food and rest too much

This. Those guys basically ate nothing but gruel, or possibly plundered food, and that's about it. And would march all fucking day. They probably looked like modern day soldiers tend to, which is slightly skinnyfat.

>>42016896
We're talking realistically anon not fucking mythology or wherever you got that bs from.

>>42016883
>>42016949
btw
knights might have been huge dudes though
they had a lot of food and were actual athletes who had to run, lift shit, wrestle and swim as part of their training and rode horses so didn't have to march.
on the other hand zulus are fucking hooge but they are genetically gorillas

Absolutely not, but it's fun to pretend

>>42016949
I think they would have been more than skinny fat. I imagine average weight lifters. The greeks were obsessed over perfecting the human body and being strong. Not only that but keep in mind the greeks didn't have calvary units, archers, or light infantry. Their entire army were hoplites which are heavy infantry. You have to be strong to be able to travel with that much armor. I don't think they were skinny fat but i imagine they were pretty lean.

>>42016820
Photographs were a thing by then. So no I don't think that will ever happen.

>>42016002
Sure, in nonwhite societies. In several European societies though Olympic weightlifting was invented already thousands of years ago.

>>42016631
There is no reason to believe that. That's literally just /fit/ brohistory, but no writings from those ancient times say that the statues were exaggerated.

>>42016732
>>42016753
To be fair, the average male testosterone level has HALVED already within the past 60 years. It is the effect of the zenoestrogens in food and food packaging. Men hundreds to thousands of years ago had several times the testosterone men today have.

yes considering how much they dedicated themselves to fitness. You can squat for 40 minutes and get your whole body swole. Ancient warriors would be hell lot more active then modern day gym rats. If one thing they for sure had better flow.
