How do animals get so buff when they don't have gyms, protein shakes or influencers telling them how to train?

Tigers sleep most of the day. We only get 8 hours of sleep.

>>75465451
Balanced diet and exercise. If you fed a tiger the same slop most humans eat at the relative quantity they eat it at, the tiger would be fat and useless too.
>>
>>75465560
We only need 8 hours.
Doing more than that as a human can literally cause depression and lethargy
>>
>>75465688
idk i sleep 6-7 hours every day, when i occasionally sleep 9h on a sunday i feel better than on any of the days that i sleep 6-7
>>
>>75465700
Going above 8 repeatedly will harm you.
You doing it once a week while sleep deprived will obviusly make you 'feel' better
>>
>>75465764
>sleep deprived
so you're saying that sleeping less than 8 hours is depriving yourself of sleep, while sleeping more than 8 hours is harming yourself, causing depression and lethargy?

No job, no women

Genetics. Humans used to be tougher too. It's estimated that Neanderthals could bench press 400-500lbs untrained.

You can take steroids to make the body produce and maintain muscles despite no reinforcement.
Or genetics could have panned out to dictate a good base level to maintain vs activity.

Breeds like belgian blue has the exercise as regular cattle. Yet they can't be birthed naturally due being too big as babies.
Zoo animals also look like shit compared to their wild counterpart in a lot of cases.

If you walked on your arms all day, they’d be big too.
>>
>>75465790
Yes, the further you stray from optimal the worse results
>>
>>75465875
I walk on my legs all day and they're not that big
>>
>>75465925
Walking doesnt put your legs/knees through a full range of motion so why are you surprised?
Cycling is better
>>
>>75465451
Human bodies are min-maxed for endurance and subsistence. Because of this, your body automatically breaks down any muscle you don't actively use, because it costs energy to maintain it
There is a condition called myostatin deficiency, where the protein which inhibits muscle growth and promotes fat gain isn't synthesized by the body in usual amounts, and those affected by it are unusually muscular and lean
Look up Belgian Blue cattle, that's what cows look like if they are deficient in myostatin

TL;DR it's genetics because evolution favored cardiobunny lanklets
>>
>>75465451
they dont produce myostatin

>TL;DR it's genetics because evolution favored cardiobunny lanklets
Then how come on the contrary, we favour those with more muscle mass and subconsciously give them positive social credit / status? Not trying to deny your claim but this juxtaposition always confused me.
>>
>>75468278
That's entirely cultural. Hundreds of years ago total dyels were considered the ideal
>>
>>75468278
Only ancient idolized the body. Nobody else throughout history cared
>>
>>75468278
One side effect of sports is health. Health indicates healthy genes. Modern sedentary lifestyles are unhealthy. In mate selection healthy mates are prefered.

In ancient times even nobility had to walk around quite a bit. Sports also indicates some discipline, which is also desirable in a mate.
>>
>>75466137
What the FUCK? I hate myostatin, we need to destroy myostatin.
>>
>>75465451
>they don't influencers telling them how to train

Well of course they are making gains

>>75465451
My man is on a litteral carnivore diet plus genetics.

They follow exercise (((science)))
