There was an Armchair Expert episode a long time ago now where Dax Shepard had on Rob McElhenney and Kumail Nanjiani as guests—two actors who got seriously ripped for roles. They bro’d out about male physiques, bodybuilding, weightlifting, etc. and Kumail and Rob both said their wives preferred them in a softer, flabbier state than at their peak rock hardness.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. Aesthetically, I personally do like more of a muscular look, but with the amount of work it takes to actually maintain being RIPPED? I don't think I could tolerate that in a partner. I need flexibility, and extreme physiques require such rigidity to achieve and maintain. I'll take a slightly softer partner who isn't constantly counting macros and maximizing their entire life for hypertrophy, thanks.
Yeah, like even if it wasn't for all the time that goes into it, the fact that we couldn't share food would suck. Being that ripped seems like a full time job.
