How did ancient Greek guys get so buff? All the sculptures of

>>35342683
They don't make sculptures of DYEL skeletons, only people worth worshipping get sculptures

Believe it or not people back then were very shallow

they probably actually lifted

They didn't eat and drink poisonous chemicals and hormones and weren't exposed to artificial radiation 24/7

You'd be amazed how healthy humans can be

>>35342683
Some of it is likely exaggerated, but a lot of the people who were sculpted were idealists who took fitness and strength really seriously.

>>35342683
For the same reason people in the future will dig up photoshop images of models and wonder how we look so fit in the 21st century.

how did they even work out without dumbbells.

That's a joke right?

Manual labor does that to people

>>35343063
and not drinking cocacola.

>>35342683
those are mostly images of gods and heroes.

if anyone looked like that, it's probably because something as simple as getting water involved walking miles in the heat, with several gallons in your arms.

Also, Running miles up a mountain, carrying a large stone, then eating a soup of grains and pig's blood > squat rack and muscle milk.

Mexican Coke is ok. US Coke in the plastic bottle is the corn syrup swill.

>>35343002
>implying you need those to get ripped
They also didn't have potato chips, cars, and entertainment at their finger tips

>>35342683
Greeks were seafaring civilization, in athens EVERYONE rowed, their shoulders would have been massive. In fact, they were so good that modern historians cannot recreate the maneuvers they supposedly did with modern rowing teams. After a hard day of labour they would go work out at their gymnasium for fun, it was just part of their culture.

>>35342683
It's something equivalent to drawing giant dicks with classical art, earlier Greek sculptures weren't so ripped and buffed lake the stuff from the Golden age of classical Greece, people wanted to see big oily muscled man.

>mexican coke
you realize that mexico is more obese than the US right?

>>35342954
They had weights that they lifted at gymnasiums.

>>35342683
No one was actually that ripped, it's just artists extrapolating what the human body would look like if it were more buff. They're meant to resemble gods, not men.

ripped satyr.

I think this is roman tho.

>>35343407
They use actual sugar, so it tastes like actual Coke, not flat syrup. I always prefer'd topo chico, but if you'revgoing to drink soda, get the mexican coke in the glass bottle, or one of those faggy italian sodas with just fruit juice and carbonated water.

>>35342683
keep in mind greeks were manlets. a buff guy like that was probably 5'4 160lbs. pretty attainable imo

>>35343407
with such a wonderfull food , Im not surprised.

>>35343436
That's not necessarily true. Greeks have saran wrap skin, and can get buff quickly, being stocky manlets. These statues are certainly idealized depictions of man, though.

>>35343002
Those things exist to allow people who only have a few hours a week of physical activity to stay ripped.

The kind of Greeks you see in statues were effectively working out all day every day, and they ate a diet that facilitated it decently well.

>NO FAGGOTRY
Greeks invented faggotry

Why do ancient Greeks always have such tiny dicks in art and sculpture? Was it some kind of stylistic thing, or was it preferred like how fat chicks used to be considered hot, or did they really just have babydicks?

>>35343982
Small dick meant you were intelligent.

>>35343982
Because they're flaccid

I have a fair member I'm proud of, yet when I'm resting it is but a shrivelled fat short worm

Or would the men depicted in these sculptures walk around fully erect all the time?

>>35343982
Small dicks were a sign of intelligence while big dicks were a sign of savageness.

>>35343982
It was more of an aesthetic thing, giving sculptures small dicks was more artistic.

That was never the case.

>>35343982
It's because you aren't supposed to focus on the dick.

I read a study on this somewhere, apparently smarter guys have genes that are more geared towards a mastery of the environment strategy when it comes to survival and reproduction, thus their bodies spend less energy and nutrients on sexual desirability and social competence, but rather towards building a bigger, smarter brain. Guys with big dicks apparently have genes which are more geared towards a sociosexual approach to survival and reproduction, so their bodies spend more energy and nutrients on sexual desirability and social competence, and less on building a big and well functioning brain.

No idea if it has any credibility behind it but from a purely logical perspective it makes sense.

They took part in the Spartan Workout routine, which is mostly just sucking off other dudes and drinking their their cum while they do the same to you, kind of like circular breathing

Now that I think of it, ancient Geece was pretty gay. They even invented the uber-masculine bear/bara gay stereotype with Hercules.

>>35343982
At the time depictions of dicks that were large, or even above average was seen as a social *that one french word that means rude, sounds like 'Forpa' or something.* Anyways. Giving your big muscular dudes a goliath sized schlong basically made you look like a immature kid.

Every time I see that statue I think of Cellini saying it looks like "a bag of melons" in the 1500's and laugh. It really is a badly exaggerated statue, but that's Mannerism for you I guess.

>>35344258
>ywn experience the spartan workout routine
Hold me robots

>>35344258
Yeah except for the fact that Sparta was one of the two city-states that outright made homosexuality illegal and punishable by death.
