Yes I'm sick of the bodybuilding meme. An unnatural perversion and a literal gnomish invention and you all think its redpilled and based as flip. Flip off.
Herakles didn't look like the Barbarian brothers. You're probably thinking of the disfigured Hercules Farnese which was correctly criticized for looking like a deformed slave of burden. Which, kinda funnily, is the modern American visual ideal for men: A perfect slave. Bonus points if he's black or at leats heavily tanned.
Not really. It seems it comes down to mental hardiness and taking on a self-centered (yes, a good thing) world view which is achievable, and growing up with violence in a world with no rules which is maybe achievable for the uber-wealthy if they want. So about personal identity, which is less and less common. Physique wise though, yes. Viking types are pretty archetypical barbarian, they probably had the physique of modern labourers who don’t each much, or averagely built cross-fitters, decent due to active lifestyle with some training and eating lean on high protein yoghurt for the winter. Also most of them used a spear and shield sadly not a great axe.
People used to have long hair for all ages, they only stopped because during medieval times people moved so close to one another that lice were rampant.
If you don't have lice, and live comfortably apart from other people (aka 99% of people in modern society) and can wash your hair properly, then you can grow the long hair.
If you have access to and can afford equipment to work out, something as simple as a pair of running shoes and 2 dumbells, then you can grow the physique.
I mean generally there have always been men with shorter or longer hair, if we take the romans as example beards were in fashion, then out of fashion, then in fashion and then irrelevant.
I understood the thread as being about if great physique+long hair was achievable in modernity though.

Actual historic barbarians were probably like 140-160lbs.

Heracles was a demi-god, he could lift a mountain.
And lived untill 30.
