>no access to sugar except honey
>worked all day, from dawn to dust
>had to walk most of the time
So if you just avoid sugar, stay active all day and walk places there is no need to “count calories” or “go to the gym”. Is that what you’re saying here, right?
When he said "stay active" he meant heavy labour, not taking the stairs on your way to the metro station. If going to the gym is too much work, just settle on being skinny
The ancient Greeks had gyms.
they had it for oiling up and having group gay sex and then bathe and hear some philosophy mantra, not lift weights.
gymnos in greek literally means naked.
>they had it for oiling up and having group gay sex and then bathe and hear some philosophy mantra
wait you guys don't do this in your gym?
Sounds like my homegym.
Wait until you find out that gymnasion in Greek means middle school.
>group of men train naked
>OH THEY HAD GAY SEX THEN
If your mind goes straight to this that is on you and not the ancient Greeks.
No because centuries of dysgenics have made building muscle an absolute pain in the ass for modern 1st world humans.
That's why 3rd world africans who have never seen the inside of a gym and tigers that laze about all day still end up jacked.
Wild tigers mog zoo tigers.
Carbs spike insulin and make you more hungry/crave more food.
Before you would just eat protein and fat and get satiated.
Counting calories is absolutely necessary to be fit, but not to lose weight
No it's not, if you've counted calories and you know how much shit is approximately you can eyeball it.
you know your plates being full of rice means around 500 calories, You know a flat chicken breast the size of your hand will net you around 250 calories etc...
If you stick to basic meals with shit you already it' extremely easy to eyeball 2000 calories if you've gone through periods of coutning before
I think it's from dawn to dusk
they checked the nutrition labels and wouldn't eat if it had high carbs
>guys from 300 look kinda dyel to me
Jesus Christ I gotta get out of here
They look too chubby to me.
Your body dysmorphia is unironically too far gone and you’re gonna end up spending tens of thousands of dollars on drugs and plastic surgery by the time you’re 40. Either that or you’re gonna rope.
I already take finasteride and minoxidil, got LASIK, whiten my teeth regularly, exercise 6-7 days per week, and I’ve been thinking about how much better my life would be if I got jaw surgery.
Is it over for me?
i have the weakest jaw you can imagine and a simple fix for that was a thick beard. imagine how foolish i felt for shaving all these years.
no joke. i changed completely in my life dynamic since i grew a beard - stopped being an incel, got married+kids, started being more competent and much more social.
I’m 33 and can’t grow a beard so…
I'm 30 and also can't grow a beard.
But helps because I'm a manlet and Zoomer always think I'm their age group.
How tall?
5'5
No wrinkles yet, full head of long hair, justin bieber hair cut with hair poking into my eyes sometimes.
Hair cut is like this but 25% shorter on the sides.
Wikipedia calls it Wings (haircut), Mod haircut, Mop top, flippies, flow, Justin Bieber haircut, or skater hair.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_(haircut)
LOL. I have the same bieber cut too but im 6 1 and jacked. Used to have the middle part, brocolli hair, tiktok mop and flow hair but the bieber cut is much better.
minoxidil
Frank?
Frank?
Does your wife know what you look like without the beard?
That's because they are absolute dyels
A lot of the dudes in this movie had their abs painted on. You're welcome.
>look kinda dyel to me
They have good natty goal bodies even though a lot of them probably took roids.
They exercised a lot
Ancient people didn't use computers. You do. You will never be like your ancestors.
I think the ability to see in near complete darkness is something that we will never recover.
You're missing the part where
>constantly walking
>constantly exposed to sunlight
>constantly exposed to both heat/cold
>constantly having to do some sort of activity
You are how you live, you're lazy so you have to workout to stay skinny.
Some of us actually work.
Most ancient people were short and wiry because they had low daily calorie intake for their level of activity. In particular they didn't get enough protein in their diet.
How do you know ancient people were fit and athletic? That's a picture of modern actors. You don't just believe everything you see on TV is historically accurate, right?
Greeks were ripped. They invented the Olympics and made statues of ripped people. It was also easier for them to be fit because they ate real food instead of goyslop and were physically active (in their work, daily life like walking and to maintain fitness)
The same way we can look at bushmen and they all have low bodyfat and decent musculature even though they barely eat and don’t work out. Greeks knew how to workout they invented the olympics.
>workout
You mean "work out."
Frick off anon. Only dudes with weak chins correct people on missing a space bar or fat fingering
Bushmen are all wiry ass dyels tho.
cause they were gay. the best ones fight for ones they love
Ancient people weren't all that fit. Most where certainly underfed. Stop watxhing hollyisraelite movies and kys.
>Ancient people
we are talking about spartans here.
what is YOUR profession?
That depends on what time period you’re talking about. The Greeks had an adoration for exercise and physique, but very few other cultures did. The average medieval peasant would have been so small and malnourished you could kill then with a single punch
>average medieval peasant would have been so small and malnourished you could kill then with a single punch
kek.
>Posts Hollywood actors that counted calories and worked out every day to get ready for shooting
The constant low intensity movement with brief periods of high intensity training made them fit and capable to the level of modern Olympic athletes but without the injuries. Their tendon strength was incredible as we can tell by the markings on their bones where their muscle attachments were.
Their tendon maxxing meant they had whatever their peak strength was well into their 60s.
Spartans Macedonians and Romans fielding armies of 65 year olds and those men were capable of not only keeping up with younger men but of defeating them.
Such as the fight between the Diadochi of Macedon and the Silver Shields of the seleucids.
>why were ancient people so fit and athletic?
Anon, that's a movie.
bump
these are modern people
Thia pic is from a 2007 movie
food today has worse nutritional value.
Hybridization and now gmo have been a disaster for food quality because they only maximize yield while ignoring nutritional values. And these parasites dont stop at shilling their garbage feed, they also managed to outlaw old sorts that grow slow but retain the old quality. Fringe farmers need to operate illegally just to save original old sorts.
Not all ancient people looked good. Ancient greeks were mostly obese manlets from sitting all day and gorging themselves on olive oil...
What a stupid thing to say. It's crazy that you would even make the comparison between a people that were physically active all day for most of their lives, much more than even modern NFL players. You can afford to eat whatever you want. You will burn it all off if you live in the ancient world, but you won't burn those calories sitting on your ass working excel sheets. Simple as, so now you have to make sure you eat only what you burn off, which is significantly lesser than what they burned off, and add in "30 minute inclines" as you said because you don't have to walk hours per day like the ancients did. 30 minutes is the least you could do.
As an example, forget even the ancients, Farmers in the US in just 1938, who did much less strenous work than the ancients, consumed more than 3.5k calories a day (picrel). Because the phsycial work that they did, they could eat that much and still be fit. If you, a man that gets out of his bed every 3 days, eats that much, you will be sure to gain a tremendous amount of weight because you don't live THAT lifestyle and don't burn off as many calories as a 1938 US farmer. Idk why this question even needs to be asked tbh. CICO. Common sense.
Also in the ancient world calories simply were not as available as they are now. They did not have the ability to gorge themselves on 10000 calories everyday like we do now
Anon these are not ancient people, these are actors. Actors with personal trainers that definitely made them eat a pre-calculated diet and made them run on the treadmill.
Get a fricking grip.
>why were ancient people so fit and athletic?
They werent. Movies aren't real life
yes the people who died from tooth infections constantly were very strong and godlike
They had more active lifestyles and less food availability. It has nothing to do with muh insulin muh keto muh carbs but with more energy expenditure and a smaller energy intake.
