I cook too many delicious things to give a flying fig about looking ripped.

99% chance they’re using PEDs if they’re ripped and are part of that “scene”.

I work out six days a week, track my diet and am definitely not ripped.
Being ripped is 90% body fat aka not eating poorly and not eating too much

But I’m talking about insane bulk. They probably need to eat like 3000+ calories a day.

I’m one of the only guys I know working out right now and not taking ozempic or getting T shots. I asked my dr for T and was tested and was 680, and he won’t Rx unless it’s under 300. I know I can go get it other places but not worth risking my health. He also won’t give me ozempic. A lot of these guys you’re talking about would think I’m fat, but I like the way I look good enough to not go to extremes. I’m 177-180 now and would like to be 165, but I can’t seem to stick to a strict diet so is what it is. 🤷🏻♂️ But yea, I have some body image issues, and am definitely a fat ass by gay standards.

Thinking you’re fat at 180 lbs and 5’10 is wild
I’d say I’m in pretty good shape. I work out most days. I don’t take any drugs or anything. I do spent most of my free time exercising though. In some ways it can be sad especially since I also work a lot - my life is mostly work and exercise.
As I keep getting older and seeing older friends health decline, I just honestly am committing myself to this being reality 🤷♂️
Work + exercise doesn’t seem so bad
I just also try and incorporate catching up on my shows and stuff when I do cardio.
I am not ripped but damn I am jacked. I am very muscular and strong yet only working out 4 days a week. I have a busy job, and outside I am learning languages and do extra sports activities aside fitness. I’ve been consistently working out since I am 16 and no I don’t take any performance enhancers
